Song Homes

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Clearing new song territory with their voices, passion, and inventiveness, these songwriters are building elegant, ramshackle, very personal homes for themselves, and inviting us in. Host David Garland takes us to selections from the new EP Joanna Newsom recorded with her touring group the Ys Street Band; a couple of old recordings by Ruthann Friedman, and Dana Westover; and new songs by Kevin House, Seth Olinsky of Akron/Family, Cameron Hull, Nonloc, and Matteah Baim.
