DJ Lynnee Denise’s Mixtape: Willie Mae Thornton
In this literary mixtape, DJ-scholar Lynnée Denise will join in conversation artists, musicians, and performers Saul Williams and Tamar-kali, as they mine her new book Why Willie Mae Thornton Matters to reveal the story of an innovative artist whose career spanned four decades. Willie Mae Thornton, a blues woman, gave us “Hound Dog” and other songs that changed the course of American music.
