Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal
Blues guitarists Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal have been friends since the late 1960s and worked together on Raitt's 1973 album, Takin' My Time. But they’ve led separate touring careers ever since -- until now. Today, they join us to talk about reuniting and about their respective brands of rootsy blues. This is a repeat broadcast of Soundcheck.

Leif Ove Andsnes
Leif Ove Andsnes is among today’s most enterprising concert pianists, tackling the music of his fellow Norwegian, Edvard Grieg, the works of Beethoven and Debussy, and today’s most scintillating modern works. The latter are featured on his latest CD, The Shadows of Silence. He joins us to share some of it and to perform in our studio.
