Sharing the Blues

One of the finest web resources for Country Blues music is the Weenie Campbell website. From lyrics and tunes, to history and advice, the "Weenies" know it all. Last year, Bob West of Arcola Records came to the Festival, and conducted interviews with Robert Belfour, Roy Book Binder, Terry Bean and Eric Freeman. The full interviews reside at the Weenie Campbell website. But as we get geared up for this weekend's Festival performances, we thought you'd enjoy this excerpt of Bob's interview with Terry Bean. Terry plays a bit, and talks about the influence of his grandfather and father on his music. The video of the interview was shot by the photographer Rosalyn Powell.
