Hot Tuna

Hot Tuna began as a side project for Jefferson Airplane musicians Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. Long after the band that made them famous broke up, Hot Tuna is still touring. Casady and Kaukonen talk with Morning Edition host Bob Edwards and play their signature folk-and-blues tunes. Exclusive to npr.org, hear full-length cuts of three songs, recorded live in Studio 4A.

Recently, The Athens News ran a competition to determine the "coolest" person in the Ohio county. The results? A local banjo player beat out a founding member of The Jefferson Airplane.
