In a new episode of Folk Matters, author Tim Z. Hernandez talks with Michele Fazio about cultural memory, labor history, and reciprocity–themes in his new book, They Call You Back, based on his search for the families of victims in the 1948 plane crash that inspired Woody Guthrie to write the song, “Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportee).” This episode also debuts a new song co-written by Hernandez and California’s San Joaquin Valley songwriter Ted Nunes called “They Call You Back.” (Song will be officially released on 9/27/2024.)
Hernandez will be on a book tour through next year. Check out his upcoming scheduled events here.
