Shreveport, a city with rich musical history, is a crossroad between the deep African-American traditions of the South, country music, Western swing, and rockabilly that predated rock and roll and the spicy influence of Cajun and Creole music. Music Voyager is graciously hosted by rock star and blues guitar virtuoso Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who takes us to Leadbelly’s grave for an acoustic jam with local icon Buddy Flett. Kenny Wayne introduces Music Voyager to Maggie Warwick of the famed radio show The Louisiana Hayride for a special performance on the stage where Elvis first became a star. Music Voyager sits down with guitar legend James Burton for a demonstration of his pioneering guitar licks, followed by a grumble boogie party with the band Dirtfoot.
