While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

30A Songwriters Sessions: Adia Victoria

One of the premiere singer-songwriter festivals in the U.S. happens along the Emerald Coast in northwestern Florida. It's called the 30A Songwriters Festival and, over the next few weeks, World Cafe will take you there as it broadcasts the 30A Songwriters Sessions, recorded and produced by WMOT this past January.

Today, we have a mini-concert from Adia Victoria, performing songs from her latest album, A Southern Gothic. Throughout the record, produced by T-Bone Burnett, Victoria explores her relationship to the South — where she was born and where she still resides — and the South's relationship with her, as a Black woman.
