Up Front TV: The Legacy of Alan Lomax

Few people have done more to promote and record folk music in America and beyond than Alan Lomax. He traveled thousands of miles to capture some of the first recordings of Jelly Roll Morton, Lead Belly, Muddy Waters, the Reverend Gary Davis, and many more. This week I caught up with Nathan Salsburg, curator of the Alan Lomax archive.

Jonathan Bastian is the midday host for WFPL News.
