Grant Lee Phillips

Listen to/Watch entire show:

One of the most accomplished songwriters of his generation, Grant-Lee Phillips matches poetic introspection with a visceral undercurrent of uncertainty and wonder. His new album, &quotnineteeneightees&quot is culled from the era that brought us Reganomics, frozen yogurt and dayglow, features eleven tracks which generally represent the most influential songs and artists of his formative years. Featuring semi-acoustic renderings of cult classics by The Pixies, Joy Division, REM, The Cure, Robyn Hitchcock, The Church, Nick Cave, New Order, Echo And The Bunnymen and The Smiths, &quotnineteeneightees&quot exhumes an age whose underground music has long outlasted the more popular songs of its airwaves.
