The Alabama Shakes "American Dream" questions whether it's become the impossible dream
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

There’s no doubt 2021 is off to a great start in regards to music. There's been so many releases to help us get through these most interesting times. A true stand out is the latest single from José González. After a five year hiatus, the Swedish singer/songwriter is back with his first single and all in español.
Four weeks in and our work has already been called “very tasty” by David Lynch. I think things are going well overall! 😄
