Chicagoan Bucky Halker thinks there’s more to American folk music than Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. That’s why his new compilation, Folk Songs of Illinois #4, features everything from local spins on traditional Chinese music and Native American drumming to polka and klezmer. He discusses his latest effort with Jerome and Radio M host Tony Sarabia.
