Sounds Coming Out of the Land #4: Where the River Burned

The latest episode of Sounds Coming Out of the Land is available on the Echobox Mixcloud archive in case you missed it! I’ve also taken it upon myself to make it extremely easy for anyone to access all the shows—including the new episode ahead of the broadcast—in one place, by creating a page where you can download each one directly from me, with no issues created on the broadcast side of things, as they were all intended to be heard. The latest episode is called “Where the River Burned” (the title of a book about the urban crisis of the 1960s leading up to Carl B. Stokes becoming the mayor of Cleveland in 1968) and it covers the emergence of an artistic counterculture in Cleveland and the rise of Black political power in Cleveland in the wake of enormous racial and economic tension in the mid-to-late ‘60s. I’ve also added handwritten track lists of each episode at the request of a few people and some photographs either from the history vault or from my own research efforts.

The next episode drops August 27th at 10:00 ‘Land Time, 16:00 ‘Dam Time, as per usual…I’m going to be spending the whole hour deep in the Boddie Recording Company box set…
