Outlaw Jesse Howard

Folk artist Jesse Howard's hand-painted signs and sculptures are on display along with the paintings of Chicago Imagist Roger Brown in an exhibit at the H&R Block Artspace at the Kansas City Art Institute. As KCUR's Laura Spencer reports, a new CD puts Jesse Howard's words to music.
