A Music Blog for Recovering Mix-Tapers
"Larry Penn is one of the greatest songwriters and singers anywhere. I am proud to know him. Every one of his songs is built with the skill of a fine craftsman, but he is never precious. He is also someone who is always verbally and mentally on his game – you need to be on your toes to hang out with him: if you don’t say what you mean, or back up what you say, he’ll call you on it."
Featuring: Larry Penn, Rebirth Brass Band, Fugazi, and more.

Featuring: Celia Cruz, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Los Van Van, and more.
