A busy New Music Friday on Morning Becomes Eclectic. We hear brand new work from James Blake and Joshua Idehen and have a great hang with Jean Dawson in studio, sharing songs that inspired his art, songs he’d get lost to on long bus rides and unforgettable moments at backyard kickbacks with his family growing up.
