This Sunday at 4 PM on my 107one Fine Tuning program I'll be featuring the mesmerizing new album 'Aventine' by Danish singer-songwriter Agnes Obel.  Imagine a combination of Nick Drake and Erik Satie and you have some idea of what the music of Agnes Obel sounds like.  Also on the show will be some new songs by Rodney Crowell and the Both (the duo of Ted Leo and Aimee Mann).

Fine Tuning preview: 4/6/14

It is always an honor to play songs by the Man In Black, Johnny Cash, and this Sunday at 4 pm on my 107one Fine Tuning program I'll be featuring 'Out Among the Stars,' which includes previously unreleased tunes that he recorded back in the 1980s.  These forgotten sessions from decades ago were recently re-discovered by Johnny's son, John Carter Cash, with the album was issued - at last - in late March.  Also in the mix will be brand new music by Mr. Jack White!
