Tapestry of the Timers #31 - "Pass the Bottle": Little Brother Montgomery; Warner Williams w/ Jay Summerour; Memphis Slim; Coley Jones; Lead Belly...

Episode 31 "Pass The Bottle"
Tapestry of the Times



In this musical pub-crawl, we explore the joys and perils of the drinking life; songs about beer, wine, whiskey and moonshine; sad drunks, mad drunks, mean drunks, and just plain stupid drunks; booze-soaked classics from Memphis Slim, Roscoe Holcomb, Lead Belly, Dock Boggs, and more. Tapestry of the Times: Real music, real people, and the stories behind the sounds...
