The Bakersfield Sound: In Conversation with Robert Price

Current exhibition, The Bakersfield Sound: Roll Out the Red Carpet explores the major figures and stylings of the country music sub-genre with a celebratory display of local history that features costumes, guitars, and posters from the era. In this week's episode we talk with author, newspaper columnist, and television journalist Robert Price who collaborated with BMoA to bring the exhibition to life. Price is the author of "The Bakersfield Sound: How a Generation of Displaced Okies Revolutionized American Music," which was the winner of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections' 2019 book prize for best country or folk history. He is a native of Sonoma County, California.
