Description

My guest this week is Emma John, author of the wonderful book 'Wayfaring Stranger - A Musical Journey in the American South'.We chat about what made a British journalist and cricket fan want to travel to North Carolina and write a book about bluegrass, the key lesson Emma learned from the Kruger Brothers  and so much more. I loved this one - it feels as much a conversation about life and belonging as it does a conversation about bluegrass.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Links to stuff we mentionThe Breakdown podcastBuy Wayfaring stranger:US (Barnes & Noble)UK (Waterstones)Emma's website

The podcast for anyone and everyone who plays bluegrass. Every week we feature a different fiddle tune and give you three brand new backing tracks: Backup 4 times through (you play the tune or improvise breaks), Tune 4 times through (you play backup) and ‘Jam Along’ (4 complete run throughs, alternating backup and tune). They work with any instrument - guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, bass, banjo…even if you’re a bluegrass cellist (I have actually met one!). For more info and chord charts, visit https://bluegrassjamalong.com. Hope you find these tracks useful (and thanks for listening!) - Matt
