EPISODES OF AMERICAN ROUTES WITH TOUSSAINT MCCALL
GUILTY PLEASURES: MUSIC WE LOVE MORE THAN WE CAN SAY
We take a deep dive into the memory vaults to spin the tunes that we shamelessly love. From guilty pleasures, including a disco dance number, to confessional ballads like James Carr's "Dark End of the Street" and songs of redemption ala Bobby Hebb's "Sunny," we shine a light on our heart's true delights. Plus, we explore social protest anthems including Mavis Staples' "Long Walk to D.C.," Simon & Garfunkel's "Richard Cory," and a standout R&B version of Pete Seeger's "If I Had a Hammer" sung by Shreveport's Toussaint McCall.
