The String features conversations on culture, media and American music, anchored by veteran journalist and broadcaster Craig Havighurst. Music makers, enablers, instigators and documentarians are featured with enough time to go deep and burrow into issues, while letting the music play too. Every week concludes with a sonic time machine that pulls tapes of great music conversations from past decades off the shelves and into the present day. New episodes of The String air on WMOT/Roots Radio 89.5 FM in Middle Tennessee on Sundays at 8 am, repeating Mondays at 9 pm.

This playlist is the culmination of a project of MTSU students in the MT Engage program and learning community joint classes Fundamentals of Communication and Introduction to Music. The students, who are in these two classes together, chose an artist and song from the American music unit to analyze in their music class and research and write a speech about in their communication class. They have recorded a brief background of the song, it’s lyrics, musical structure and/or artist information before each song. Enjoy.
