KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Andrew Bird recorded his new album My Finest Work Yet live to tape at two renowned LA studios - Sound City and Barfeoot Studio. We took him back to Sound City to record a special set for us last month where he talked about the importance of a room's energy and the inspiration behind some of his new songs.
