		Song Makers and Song Takers: William Bell and Chris Smither

		September 28th, 2016 ~ This week on American Routes, we hear from great songwriters and performers- and those who emulate them. Original songs can take on new form and meaning when interpreted by different voices, and we'll hear some of those renditions and transformations this week. We'll hear the rocking Southern sound of the Drive By Truckers covering Bob Dyla, and Ray Charles doing Hank Williams. Our guest William Bell, from Memphis, will tell us all about his music being played by the Byrds, and bluesman Albert King. And we'll go live on stage in Northampton Massachusetts with New Orleans blues guitarist Chris Smither for songs and stories. Listen To Hour 1 Listen To Hour 2 Share This
