About the Series
A pioneer of American roots music for more than half a century, Jesse Colin Young has left a unique mark on the intersecting worlds of folk, blues, jazz, and rock & roll. With his Tripping On My Roots podcast, the former Youngbloods frontman "gets together" with some of the legendary peers who've built similar legacies, while also taking a look at the musical heroes whose songs have inspired his own. Featuring interviews, musical performances, rare collaborations, and plenty of storytelling, Tripping On My Roots is equal parts documentary, autography, and a first-hand look not into the creative influences of a folk icon, but into an entire country's musical history, too.
