On his third album, Sharecropper’s Son, blues singer Robert Finley recalls the sounds and stories of his childhood in Louisiana. After becoming legally blind and retiring from his job in carpentry, Finley released his studio debut at age 62 in 2016. The new album was produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, who also produced his 2017 follow-up. Finley joins us for a Listening Party.
