Alternate Take: A tribute to Detroit music during NFL Draft week
Listen to “Alternate Take” with host Liz Warner every Thursday from 8-10 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio — 101.9 WDET.
FILE - In this Dec. 4, 2008 file photo, Aretha Franklin performs during the 85th annual Christmas tree lighting at the New York Stock Exchange in New York.
This week on Alternate Take, I take a cue from this week’s NFL Draft and feature a tribute to Detroit music.
I run the spectrum of sounds with Motor City favorites, including music from Aretha Franklin, Motown and classic Detroit techno. Plus, some surprises from the city’s space-rock, R&B, jazz and rock scenes.
