Rare Records Saved From The Dumpster, British Folk From Passenger

Soundcheck | Dec 18, 2012

Today on Soundcheck: In 2010, musician and archivist Nathan Salsburg stumbled upon piles of rare, early 20th century 78 records left in a dumpster. He's now compiled those recordings into a 42-song set.

Then British busker-turned-YouTube success story Mike Rosenberg -- who records under the moniker Passenger -- drops by the studio to perform songs from his first American release, All The Little Lights.
