Billie Marten's Valentine Blues for Public Song Project 2024

All this week, as part of the launch of the 2024 Public Song Project , we're debuting contributions from professional musicians and friends of WNYC. For Valentine's Day, Billie Marten shares a song of heartache blues. After the song, we're joined by musicology professor Anna Celenza to talk about the history of love and heartbreak songs and take your calls.
