Paul Burch On World Cafe

The country singer's new album, Meridian Rising, tells Jimmie Rodgers' story as he might have sung it.
Country singer-songwriter Paul Burch has been making roots records - often with his band, The WPA Ballclub - for two decades, ever since he first arrived in Nashville and started playing covers at Tootsies Orchid Lounge on Lower Broadway. He's released 10 albums, and has contributed music to both PBS' The Appalachians and HBO's True Blood.
