New Mix: Cowboy Junkies, Michael Stipe, Wallice, more : All Songs Considered

NPR  

New Mix: Cowboy Junkies, Michael Stipe, Wallice, more toggle caption Courtesy of the artists I begin this week's All Songs Considered with two brilliant collaborations. First up, Michael Stipe's new song, "Give Me A Hand," inspired by a punk rock party he attended in costume in the early '80s. The second half of the show begins with a true earworm of a tune; it's the music from the Los Angeles-based artist Wallice and a song called "Best Friend." Their first album of new material in five years is coming at the top of June; it's called Such Ferocious Beauty, and Michael Timmons introduces us to a song about his father called "What I Lost."
