This week on I welcome filmmaker Dr. Augusta Palmer, fresh off her film festival circuit with her new documentary, "The Blues Society." The film delves into the history of the Memphis Country Music Festival and the vibrant community that brought it to life. Dr. Palmer shares her journey in making the film, the importance of preserving blues music history, and the challenges faced by Black artists whose contributions have often been overlooked.
We also discuss the collaborative spirit behind "The Blues Society," the archival footage that brings the 1969 festival to life, and the personal connections that deepened her understanding of the era. Join us for an enlightening conversation about music, history, and the power of storytelling.
