NPR: Director's Cut: Joe Henry Live on the BPP

Director's Cut: Joe Henry Live on the BPP

Filed under: Music

We love it when musicians perform live in our studio here in NYC, and Joe Henry was this week's big treat. We had the singer/songwriter/producer/ brother-in-law-to-Madonna on our show yesterday, but what you heard on the air or in the podcast was only half of the conversation he had with Alison Stewart.

The rest of the interview was just too good to let it slip into the ether. Here, you can listen to the whole thing, including three full songs: two from his new album, Civilians and one made famous by his sister-in-law.

This might actually be the worst program on radio, which is quite an achievement considering that Howard Stern has a radio show

I am a bit confused . . . Why exactly does Mr. Henry have that cute monkey on his shoulder? Is that his monkey? A friend's monkey? Does it have some profound philosophical relationship with his music? The limited information I am getting from google and wiki just isn't cutting it.
