Grammy-award-winning soul singer and songwriter Leon Bridges is out with a new album. "Gold-Diggers Sound" steps firmly into the present as Bridges charts his own course and his own sound. He discusses the influences behind the new record. And, two years ago this week, a gunman in El Paso, Texas, killed 23 people in a Walmart — most of them Latino.
