Country, Cuban and Cajun: Raul Malo & The Mavericks; The Pine Leaf Boys

We meet Raul Malo, the Miami-born and Cuban-descended singer and leader of The Mavericks, known for country, pop and roots rock. We’ll talk about that and Latin music, all behind the band’s huge success in country music and their recent successful all Spanish language recording. Then a live concert and conversation with the Pine Leaf Boys as Louisiana French two-steps meet rock n roll. Plus music from Celia Cruz, Patsy Cline, Los Lobos and Professor Longhair.

NAME THAT TUNE

October 23rd, 2002

We’ll name some names with songs about “Corina” and “Mona Lisa” from artists like Bo Diddley and Fats Waller. Our guest is a 22-year-old blueswoman who’s out to make a name for herself, Shemekia Copeland. Chuck Berry’s pianist Johnnie Johnson will take us behind the scenes for the making of their first hit “Maybellene.” And we’ll step up to the bar to meet a Baltimore man who legally changed his name to American Joe. Plus the legend of outlaw Staggerlee.
