One Album for Eternity
Never mind food, water, and shelter. If you could take one album to a desert island, what would it be? Today on Soundcheck, music critics who answered that question for a new anthology explain their picks, plus we take your calls. And: British actress and singer-songwriter Minnie Driver performs live in our studio. Leave a comment: What album would you bring to a desert album? Why?
Desert Island Discs
It's a question that is as difficult to answer as it is revealing about one's musical tastes: What album would you take to a desert island? We talk with Phil Freeman, editor of Marooned: The Next Generation of Desert Island Discs, about this time-honored musical dilemma. Plus, music critics Greg Tate and Ian Christe explain their picks. And don't forget to leave a comment: tell us your ultimate desert-island disc.
