Laura Veirs: Carol Kaye

On her new record, July Flame, singer Laura Veirs pays tribute to Carol Kaye, a bassist who was part of a practically invisible band called the Wrecking Crew that backed everyone from The Beach Boys to Glen Campbell to Ray Charles and never got the attention they deserved. Today's Top Tune features vocals from Jim James (My Morning Jacket/Monsters of Folk) and is lovingly titled "Carol Kaye".
