Plus, in the second hour of World Cafe, Nashville singer-songwriter Lizzie No. She sees her record, Halfsies, as a video game – she explains why and shares how Beyonce’s Lemonade inspired her to ignore genres and follow her own path.
World Cafe is playing back some favorite interviews of 2024, including Nick Cave. His album Wild God bursts with joy – a contrast to Cave’s last two albums which saw him grappling with the recent death of his son. Nick Cave discusses religion, death, life – and how devastation and grief helped him accept the possibility of a joyful relationship with the world. Plus, in the second hour of World Cafe, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Their latest album, Woodland, is named after the pair’s Nashville studio, which was destroyed by the 2020 tornados.
