Fat Possum Records Evolves with the Blues
Fat Possum Records, based in Oxford, Miss., is
an independent label founded as a platform for gritty bluesmakers R.L. Burnside and Junior
Kimbrough. But as the label's artists have grown old and some have died, NPR's Jesse Baker
reports on a shift to a new generation of blues-oriented alternative rock. (from NPR.org)
The Black Keys Bring the Rock
One of Fat Possum Records' most successful new acts is a duo called the Black Keys from
Akron, Ohio. NPR's Liane Hansen speaks with guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney.
Their new CD is Rubber Factory. It was recorded in an old General Tire plant. (from NPR.org)
