Marisa Anderson has been dubbed as one of “this era’s most powerful players” for her deep and varied interpretations of American music.

Her latest album, “The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music,” takes inspiration from folk music from around the world. From Vietnam and Syria to Afghanistan and the Soviet Union, the album is shaped by songs from countries that have been in conflict with the U.S. in her lifetime.

Andreson joins us to share more on her album and performs live in-studio.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
