Jim Leary

Folklorist, author and UW Professor Jim Leary shares stories of the forgotten music of the depression and World War II from his Grammy-nominated book Folksongs of Another America: Field Recordings from the Upper Midwest, 1937–-1946, including those of immigrant, indigenous, rural, and working-class performers. Representing 25 languages, with all the lyrics translated into English, this will be fascinating peek into another era.
