Adeem The Artist on World Cafe with Stephen Kallao

Adeem The Artist is a queer, non-binary artist, who, on their latest album White Trash Revelry, examines country music and its southern roots, while asking big questions about privilege, race and toxic masculinity. In this session, Adeem talks about the message of White Trash Revelry and how songwriters like John Prine helped rekindle their love of country music.
