Musician Nat Myers on the healing power of the blues

The blues guitar legend Buddy Guy once wrote, “Funny thing about the blues. You play ‘em cause you got ‘em. But when you play ‘em, you lose ‘em. The blues chase the blues away.” That's especially true for 32-year-old Kentuckian Nat Myers. Special correspondent Tom Casciato has the story for our arts and culture series, CANVAS. A warning: some racial slurs Myers was called are named in this piece.
