FRESH AIR
British rocker Elvis Costello made his debut with the album My Aim is True 30 years ago. He got his start
with the band The Attractions before going solo; he’s since performed, recorded or collaborated with artists as diverse as The Brodsky Quartet, jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and Burt Bacharach. An anniversary edition of My Aim is True was released this week. This interview was first broadcast on Feb. 28, 1989. Singer-songwriter Joe Henry has worked with everybody from soul great Allen Toussaint to jazz giant Ornette Coleman to Madonna (his sister-in-law, who recorded his “Don’t Tell Me” on her album Music). Henry’s songwriting has been compared to that of Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. Civilians, his latest album, was released this week. This interview was first broadcast on Jan. 18, 2006.

THE WORLD CAFE
Host David Dye welcomes guitar virtuoso David Bromberg to the World Cafe. With his command of styles from folk, to blues, to jazz, to country,
Bromberg started off as a highly valued sideman in the 1960s, and in the ’70s went on to release a string of his own folk-blues albums. He made a welcome return this year with Try Me One More Time, his first record since 1990. In the second hour, we’ll hear about his most recent work backing the organically formed Angel Band. Developed from a series of informal jams at a Wilmington, Delaware cafe, the band is comprised of some of the area’s best musicians, including his wife Nancy Josephson.
