Summary: <p><a href="https://jakeblountmusic.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Jake Blount</a> is a singer, fiddler, banjo player, and scholar of old time American music –he’s especially interested in the deep roots of the African-American music of the southeast, where his own family is from. And given that this is Pride month, it’s probably worth mentioning he’s a board member of the group Bluegrass Pride as well. Jake has just released his first full-length album, called <em>Spider Tales</em> – a reference to Anansi, the West African trickster figure who takes the shape of a spider. The album is full of unusual old tunes as well as new takes on songs you might think you knew well. Jake joins us -remotely, of course- to play a few of them for this edition of the Soundcheck Podcast. </p> <p>Set list: </p> <ol> "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" "We’re Going to Hunt the Buffalo" "Roustabout" </ol> <p>"Where Did You Sleep Last Night":"We’re Going to Hunt the Buffalo": "Roustabout": </p> <p><a href="http://jakeblountmusic.bandcamp.com/album/spider-tales">Spider Tales by Jake Blount</a></p>
