Creole Roots, Sinners, and Gravediggers: The Blues According to Chris Thomas King

Creole Roots, Sinners, and Gravediggers

Bluesman, actor, and cultural preservationist Chris Thomas King joins Jack Dappa Blues Radio to uncover the real story of the Blues — from the juke joints of Louisiana to the haunting depths of Gravedigger Gonna Cut You Down.

We talk Creole identity, his film Sinners, the founding of the Blues Origin Institute, and why the Blues didn’t start in the Delta — it started in Louisiana.

This is the Blues you weren’t taught. The Blues that remembers.
