My guests today (August 24) on Folk Roots/Folk Branches will be KIM & REGGIE HARRIS. Kim and Reggie very movingly mix traditional and contemporary folk music with their passionate concerns for civil rights and social justice. "Steal Away," their superb collection of Underground Railroad songs has been a particular favourite on the show.Also on the agenda are recordings by the cast of "Stan Rogers-A Matter of Heart," Greg Brown, Bob Dylan, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Lucy Kaplansky, The Kennedys, Jimmy LaFave, Last Forever, Magpie, Odetta, Stan Rogers, Pete Seeger, Richard Shindell, and others.
The show airs Thursdays from 9:00-11:30 am (eastern time) on CKUT, 90.3 FM, in Montreal or via RealAudio from the Folk Roots/Folk Branches website.
