Prince of an Artist

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

Prince's newest record, 3121, is out today released and we take an in-depth look at the man, the myth and the musical legacy. We hear from music critics Jon Bream and Michaelangelo Matos, who offers a review of the album and some background on the man behind it. And we open the phones to get your perspective on Prince. Also: experimental jazz guitarist Dom Minasi joins us to preview "Vampires' Revenge," an album which takes its inspiration from the vampire novels of Anne Rice. And we mark the first full day of Spring with sounds from Alaska.
