MUSIC VOYAGER : LOUISIANA SHREVEPORT ROAD THROUGH NORTHERN LOUISIANA

OPIS

Shreveport, a city with rich musical history, is a crossroads between the
deep African
-
American traditions of the south, the country music, Western
swing and rockabilly that predated rock and roll and the spicy
influence of
Cajun and Creole music. Music Voyager is graciously hosted by rock star
and blues guitar virtuoso Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who takes us to
Leadbelly’s grave for an acoustic jam with local icon Buddy Flett. Kenny
Wayne introduces Music Voyager to
Maggie Warwick of the famed radio
show The Louisiana Hayride for a special performance on the stage where
Elvis first became a star. Music Voyager sits down with guitar legend
James Burton for a demonstration of his pioneering guitar licks, followed by
a
grumble boogie party with the band Dirtfoot
