Fine Tuning preview: 7/27/14

This Sunday at 4 pm on my 107one Fine Tuning program I'll be featuring the new "Song Reader" album, featuring interpretations of new tunes written by Beck.  "Song Reader" was initially released as sheet music in December of 2012, but this new version is a finished album which includes Jack White, Norah Jones, Tweedy and Lord Huron.  Speaking of my fabulous first cousin Jack White, I'll be playing a bunch of Jack White & White Stripes songs in honor of his homecoming shows in Detroit this week.

Fine Tuning preview: 7/13/14

This Sunday at 4 pm on my 107one Fine Tuning program I'll be featuring tracks from "Lost In The Dream," the new studio album by indie-rock band The War On Drugs.  Led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Adam Granduciel, TWOD has drawn comparisons to the likes of Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty and Television.  A terrifically engaging album that has drawn widespread critical praise, "Lost In The Dream" is one of the best albums I've heard so far in 2014.

Fine Tuning preview: 7/6/14

I've got something very special for you this Sunday on my 107one Fine Tuning program: an interview with Beck!  I spoke with Beck Hansen on his tour bus just minutes before he performed a marathon 26-song, 2 1/2 hour set last Saturday at Detroit's Fox Theatre.  We discussed everything from Jack White to Donna Summer to Kurt Schwitters to plans for a new album.  Also on the show this Sunday I'll have new music from Spoon, John Hiatt and Ryan Adams.
