NPR World Cafe: recent

• Old Crow Medicine ShowNovember 27, 2008
  On this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN we hope you enjoy a concert with Old Crow Medicine Show. The band celebrates old-timey music with a decidedly modern twist. Host David Dye also speaks with the band about their new album "Tennessee Pusher."
• Matthew SweetNovember 20, 2008
  Matthew Sweet joins David Dye on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. Sweet rose to prominence in the early 1990's when he released the album "Girlfriend." It combined big, jangly guitar sounds with confessional lyrics about the death of one romantic relationship and the birth of a new one. Most recently Sweet has brought his vocal talents to the trio, the Thorns. Now he's back with a new solo album called, "Sunshine Lies."
