A Musical Romance

Studio 360

This week on Studio 360, Kurt unpacks the songwriting inspirations of Rickie Lee Jones, the reigning ‘Duchess of Coolsville.’ In this gem from the cutting room floor, she discusses the songwriter who makes her think ‘we’re made from the same part of God’s clay.’ (Plus, don’t miss Kurt’s five-second debut as a back-up singer.)
