530. Katy Morlas Shannon returns to talk about her children's historical fiction, Sharcropper's Daughter. "Born a sharecropper's daughter on a Louisiana plantation, Frances Darbonne wonders if she will ever escape the rural poverty that has plagued her family for generations. When Frances learns that going to school requires her to abandon the French language she has spoken all her life, she struggles to reconcile her Cajun identity with her desire to read and write. Determined to Americanize its citizens, Louisiana instructs its educators to eradicate this heritage language, stigmatizing the Cajun people and using shame and threats of violence to silence them... Inspired by the author's grandmother, Sharecropper's Daughter vividly portrays a child's experience of World War II and prominently features the Louisiana Maneuvers, the military training of 400,000 troops not far from Frances's home."

I really wanted this talk and it was on a drive from seeing family on back ways to Bentonia that I had this chat. There is more I hope to use in another episode down the road, but here is a great talk. It sound like you live your life and play/do what you will from the soul is what I'm learning from these artists. Amazing. It's worth the drive off the beaten path to this surviving Juke Joints and see Mr.Holmes.

Grammy Award Nominee in 2021 for Best Traditional Blues Album, we talk with Jimmy Duck Holmes about Bentonia style Blues and the Blue Front Cafe, the original and oldest surviving Juke Joint in Mississippi.

Born Larry Ra'Shad Lavar McGill and raised in the sleepy town of Laurel, young Ra'Shad was recognized as a unique individual at an early age. The youngest of five children, he was born hearing impaired with a myriad of other health issues from asthma to allergies. In church, he first discovered a love of music from watching the guitarist and keyboard players command the congregation with their every note. The church guitarist, Billy Evans, would allow him to sit with him as he played, and the youngster soaked up each lesson like a sponge. Ra'Shad was plucking the strings of his first guitar that he got at 16. Teaching himself to play guitar, he formed his own group called The Groove Band at the age of 23. They gained regional attention performing live shows and working their way up the ladder through the Southern soul and blues circuit.Although all other genres trace their roots to the cotton fields of Mississippi and have evolved into many other facets around the world, the true essence of American music is still kept alive through the music of modern-day bluesmen like Ra'Shad The Blues Kid. Groomed in the same breeding grounds that produced musical greats as diverse as Muddy Waters, Bobby Rush, and Elvis Presley to opera star Leontyne Price. As Ra'Shad was mastering his craft and growing with his band, he was also growing as an artist. As Ra'Shad was mastering his craft and growing with his band, he was also growing as an artist. Working with artists such as Krishunda Echols, LaMorris Williams, Napoleon Demps, Kenne Wayne, J-Wonn, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, and Mr. Sipp, he slowly constructed his own musical style.

This week, we journey to northern Louisiana for a unique conversation with sprightly blues and southern rock singer Robert Finely, who began making music in his cotton-growing family in the 1960s, and has been rediscovered and empowered through his remarkable partnership with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. His funky and cheeky comeback album Goin' Platinum (which sounds like a lost Motown gem) came in 2017 and in May of 2021, he celebrated the release of the deeply personal follow-up Sharecropper's Son. As you can hear in the taping, even in his late sixties, Finley is a playful force to be reckoned with and isn't shy about sharing how faith and music have gotten him through decades of tragedy and hardship. In 2019 he even reached the semi-finals of America's Got Talent. Growing up in a religious home where blues and soul music was rarely allowed to be heard, Finley worked as an army helicopter repairman and professional carpenter for many years, often keeping his keen musical ideas to himself. He may now be legally blind, but the always-sharp dressed Finley (he loves a snakeskin jacket) was spotted busking on the streets of Helena, Arkansas and the blues-obsessed Auerbach was smitten with Finley's raw, swampy Jimi Hendrix meets James Brown tone. Both of his critically-applauded releases subsequently came out on Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound, which has become a home for previously unheralded black artists like Yola, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, and Leo Bud Welch.
