at the Billy Talbot Homestead
Wish You Were Here with host Eliza Blue returns for a second season. This time the traveling music series works as a visual ethnographic almanac, following the ecology and seasonality of raising food on the high plains, interspersed with original stories, art of and about nature, and songs about life on the prairie. Blue offers a preview of the season.
Join Blue as we visit Billy Talbot, bass player from the band Crazy Horse, in western South Dakota. Talbot and Blue duet on a Talbot original. “The episode starts with a little arc about ghost towns that are being revitalized,” says Blue. “Billy and his wife live on a homestead that had been essentially abandoned. They’ve turned it into an amazing house with a music barn, where he recorded a bunch of his solo albums.”
