Wild Side Survivor

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Today, a conversation with Lou Reed, the former Velvet Underground frontman, solo artist, and now, art photographer. He's captured the underbelly of New York in song, but as a photographer, it is a very different side of the city that catches his interest. Also, a conversation with Moog synthesizer pioneer Gershon Kingsley. The label Reboot Stereophonic recently released a CD of the artist who, in the 1970s, unleashed the smash hit "Popcorn" and the classic album "The In Sound From Way Out." And finally, a look at whether jazz can save New Orleans. This is an encore edition of Soundcheck.
