The Music That Changed Musicians' Lives
The Brian Lehrer Show | May 23, 2016
Bob Boilen, host and creator of NPR’s All Songs Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts, shares reflections from artists and musicians on pivotal moments that inspired their work.
Boilen has a new book out: Your Song Changed My Life: From Jimmy Page to St. Vincent, Smokey Robinson to Hozier, Thirty-Five Beloved Artists on Their Journey and the Music That Inspired It (William Morrow, 2016).
He looks at several prolific musicians and examines the one song (or one artist) that truly changed their trajectory of their musical aspirations and careers.
