Singer-songwriter Joy Clark recently released her first solo album, “Tell it the Wind.” The songs reflect her journey to self-discovery as a Black, queer artist living in the South. She joins us today for more on the musical influences that inspired her career.
New Orleans-based music journalist and editor Alison Fensterstock is out with a new book celebrating women in music. Titled, “How Women Made Music: A Revolutionary History from NPR Music,” the book compiles previously published essays that look at sexism, race, gender and politics in the music industry.
Fensterstock tells us more about this book and the essays and contributions from female musical pioneers.
