Families of Music
As people head home for Thanksgiving, American Routes presents great families in music. A visit with mountain guitarist Doc Watson and his grandson Richard, the Native American family group the Black Lodge Singers, and brothers Branford and Jason Marsalis pay tribute to their father, New Orleans jazz patriarch Ellis Marsalis. Plus, rhythm & blues from Otis and Carla Thomas, and the amazing sibling harmonies of the Everly Brothers.
