On August 14, we’ll feature Rockport, Mass. Native Paula Cole. Cole’s latest album, American Quilt, captures an artist at the top of her game; she explores country, blues, jazz, and other forms of music. Its ten tracks soar on the strength of her extraordinary singing and arrangements. Her Guest Mix features a host of great vocalists, including Odetta, Dolly Parton, Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, and Chet Baker (also a pretty fair trumpet player).
During the last two weeks, we’ll re-air two episodes featuring artists who seemed to really enjoy hanging out and talking about music. I remember laughing a lot during the sessions with Joachim Cooder and Elizabeth Ziman (of Elizabeth and the Catapult), but we also dug into a wide range of interesting musicians. I hope you can tune in. The full schedule for the month is below.
