Art Market, Honeyboy, Bragg

Studio 360

Kurt looks into the tricky relationship between money and the big-time art world. And we’ll hear how folk music keeps on ticking. A folk music collector explains his scramble to save America’s traditional sounds one field recording at a time. A 92-year-old blues legend, Honeyboy Edwards, remembers his lean days as a boxcar hobo. And outspoken English folk rocker Billy Bragg, who has a new record out, stops by to perform.
