Bill Malone is the country’s foremost historian of country music. His new book is called “Don’t Get above Your Raisin’.”  He talks with Steve Paulson about why he loves old-time country music, and brings several examples of contemporary performers of roots music.  He says the music crosses ethnic and racial lines and celebrates both the longing for home and the lure of the road.
