PR245 - Everything In Its Right Place

Starting off the show with Radiohead, followed by some Kevin Morby, and Television. Finishing up with Loretta Lynn, RIP. Might have more to write later, but I'm a little choked up right now.

Playlist

  3. Featured This Is A Photograph by Kevin Morby on This is a Photograph (Dead Oceans) Info

    New This is a Photograph is based on a photograph of his father at his age, with his wife, and two children (one of whom is Morby). It's a master class in storytelling and it might not even be the best song of on the record.

  4. Featured City Music by Kevin Morby on City Music (Dead Oceans) Info

    City Music is a song that he wrote on the banjo as an instrumental. He started playing it on guitar during a sound check & his band filled it out. Morby: We gave it a real Marquee Moon makeover with my guitarist Meg Duffy's 'guitarmonies.'

  5. Marquee Moon by Television on Marquee Moon (Elektra) Info

    Marquee Moon by Television is one of my favorite songs of all time. I was tickled to pick out the influence in City Music, and to have it confirmed in that NPR interview. Shout out to Tom Verlaine's guitar on this song.
