Landing into a new week with fresh cuts from Nourished By Time, Lilblackkids (a new project from Georgia Anne Muldrow and guitarist-multi-instrumentalist Keith Rice), oreglo, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Arooj Aftab and lots more.

Plus, one of my favorite musicians of all time would’ve been 82 today, so it’s birthday flowers for Curtis Mayfield, with a focus on his excellent 1971 live album, Curtis. I promise you…no one else is playing that on the radio. It’s only here on Detroit Public Radio!

A lot like the vinyl-only release of Detroit’s own Dez Andres and his magnificent edit of a Fleetwood Mac track that’ll blow your mind!

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
