WORDS TO THE WISE: LORETTA LYNN, BILL KIRCHEN & LES FRERES MICHOT
This week on American Routes, we're sharing some words of wisdom. The late Loretta Lynn blazed a trail through the male-dominated world of country music, bringing her experience as a mother and wife to songwriting and challenging stereotypes along the way. We'll hear about her journey from the hills of Butcher Hollow to the studios of Music City. Rockabilly guitarist and singer, Bill Kirchen, might be best known for his time in Commander Cody's band, and his hot licks on "Hot Rod Lincoln." We'll learn more about the man called the "Titan of the Telecaster" who won't be pegged by genres. Then, we'll stop for a few environmentally sound Cajun tunes and visit with a band of brothers, Les Freres Michot.
PIANO ON A TRUCK AND GUITARS ON STAGE
We take a deep dive into the history of pianos and guitars, from studio to stage in jazz, blues, roots rock and soul. First, we cruise New Orleans to hear pianos played live to order in front of your house on a truck, and hear favorite studio recordings from heroes of the 88s including Ray Charles, Nina Simone, McCoy Tyner, Papo Lucca and Professor Longhair. Then we go to the stage at the National Folk Festival in Salisbury, Maryland for a round robin guitar session with Jerry Douglas, Bill Kirchen, Eddie Cotton and Steve Lewis. Plus some recorded guitar heroines: Mother Maybelle Carter, Sister Rosetta Tharp, Bonnie Raitt, and Lydia Mendoza.

LABOR DAY: ROOTS ROCK & SOUL, JAZZ & THE WORKING WO/MAN'S BLUES
For Labor Day weekend, we take a break from the grind with a sonic salute to the heroic "Factory Girl" and those all too familiar with the "Workin' Man Blues." We explore the pains and joys of labor with tunes about coal miners, undertakers, chain gangs, and paydays. We hear a tribute to Cesar Chavez and the 1969 farm workers strike in Delano, CA. And we time travel with Lord Invader to 1940s Brooklyn to attend the West Indian Labor Day Carnival. Finally, we settle under the neon signs of New Orleans' famed Chickie Wah Wah club to hear a live set from Telecaster master and rockabilly journeyman, Bill Kirchen.
