Love to Love You, Baby

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Anthony DeCurtis for Rolling Stone and Tracks Magazine joins John Schaefer to hash out just what makes a love song great. And they'll take your calls on the songs that make you love to love, and love to cry. Also on the show: Since her emergence in the mid-'80s as a vocalist with the New York cult band the Golden Palominos Syd Straw has been one of the most distinctive singer-songwriters on the scene. Today she's in to preview her annual Heartwreck Show, a Valentine's Day concert for the jaded, featuring a mix of twisted torch songs and original material which takes place tonight at Tonic.
