The opening collage of voices with Blues music underneath really grabbed my attention. The continued interweaving of scholars and music makes for an intriguing half hour devoted to discussing African American Blues music as literature. The most fascinating part of the discussion is how the Blues developed and the fact that it's specifically created to rid one of the blues rather than dwell on it. " What's the Word" is developing into a well-polished and enjoyable series. This particular program would work incredibly well during Black History Month though I personally could hear it anytime.
