Brazilian Psych-Rock For A Night On The Porch
In the 1970s in Recife, Brazil, a scene coalesced around a musician named Lula Cortes. An offshoot of the psychedelic rock scene happening around the world at the time, the movement created a handful of labels that recorded, produced and distributed some of the most beautiful music ever, perfect for hot summer nights.


James Hunter Does It The Hard Way
In his new album, <em>The Hard Way</em>, Hunter delves even deeper into soul, fusing his smoky voice with the sounds of surf music. With nods to American soul legends such as Sam Cooke and Ray Charles, Hunter maintains a sense of nostalgia, while infusing his sound with modern style and distinctive technique. Hear him when he stops by World Cafe with host David Dye.


Staats & Shafer On Mountain Stage
The celebrated West Virginia-based pickers have individually won multiple awards for their work with their respective instruments. As a unit, they've recorded several albums together. They break out their mandolin and guitar for a duo performance.


Rosanne Cash: Family History In Concert
The singer-songwriter played from her most recent album, the personal and poetic <em>Black Cadillac</em>, in a multimedia performance of songs that radiate reflection and mourning. In the process, she tapped into the legendary oeuvre of her late father, Johnny Cash.


Ladysmith Black Mambazo And Hugh Masekela: Carrying South Africa
In careers spanning many decades, Hugh Masekela and Ladysmith Black Mambazo have carried the music of South Africa around the world, and played critical roles in the international movement to end apartheid. Fifteen years after the climax of that historic struggle, both still tour.


Morgan Grace: 'Valentine'
Morgan Grace has been releasing solo albums since 2003, but she didn't catch her "break" until 2006, when her song "The Rules of Dating" won a songwriting award via American Idol Underground. Grace submitted the song on a whim, and the track won her $10,000 and recording equipment, with which she put together a home recording studio.


Alejandro Escovedo: Stronger Than Ever
Since the early '90s, Escovedo's solo albums have quietly cast him as an artist of note. He's come a long way since his bands Rank And File and True Believers, which both looked at roots-rock music in new ways yet only achieved cult status. Slowly but surely, Escovedo is getting his due.


'Bird's Nest' Ballads: Olympic National Anthems
As medal-winners step up to the podium in this year's Summer Olympics, commentator Miles Hoffman says, we're bound to hear quite a few national anthems, some of which come equipped with bad poetry and stilted music.


In Defense, Randy Newman Has A Few Words
His sharp-tongued lyrics have skewered rednecks, kingpins and heartless politicians. Newman has riled a long list of people &mdash; and it's likely to grow with the release of his new CD, <em>Harps and Angels</em>. He may be the most misunderstood songwriter ever.


British Sea Power Likes Rock Music
The jagged pop and reverb-drenched rock of British Sea Power has earned the English band comparisons to the likes of the Cure and Joy Division. Hear a session on WXPN's World Cafe with host David Dye.


Ray Wylie Hubbard On Mountain Stage
Blending humor with philosophical, introspective lyrics, Hubbard's album <em>Snake Farm</em> packs a gut-busting punch with its deep, swampy electric grooves. The songs spin stories of humility, persistence and religious curiosity. Hear the country-blues rocker play solo and acoustic while overlooking West Virginia's New River Gorge.


Black Osin: 'South'
Black Osin is the solo home-recording project of Seattle-based artist C. Blake Osin. Osin originates from Vladivostok, Russia, and the country's influence shines through in his music. Black Osin's debut album, <em>Terrifics</em>, is a wonderfully lo-fi set of songs that fall in line with the work of Beirut, DeVotchKa and Neutral Milk Hotel.


Van Morrison Mocks His Alma Mater
Morrison's face bears the lines and concaves of a 62-year-old man. But in his new "School of Hard Knocks," his voice sounds as youthful and swaggering as it did when he was doing a moondance more than 30 years ago.


Norman Granz: Jazz Genius Behind The Scenes
Although he never played a note, Granz has no equal in the history of popular music. Under his own family of independent labels, the concert and record producer organized hundreds of the landmark jazz performances and albums of the 20th century.


Les Yeux Noirs On Mountain Stage
The French band has been energetically spreading its own brand of klezmer, Gypsy music and jazz around the entire world for almost 15 years. Leaders Eric and Olivier Slabiak bring their dueling fiddles to a live <em>Mountain Stage</em> performance.
