DJ Archive Picks: Russ Borris chooses The Mountain Goats from 2011, Feist from 2011, Yeasayer from 2010, Solomon Burke from 2007

Solomon Burke: February 27, 2007

It was an amazing experience to sit down with the legendary "King of Rock and Soul." He came to WFUV dapper as ever, right down to the hat and gloves. We talked about recording his album Nashville in Buddy & Julie Miller's house, his take on today's performers and his idea of drive-thru mortuaries! Solomon Burke - Words and Music - 2007

The Mountain Goats: February 24, 2011

John Darnielle is a brilliant songwriter and a tremendous interview. The band played a few songs from "All Eternals Deck" while our chat ranged from '70s horror films to JD's love of heavy metal. The Mountain Goats- Words and Music- 2011

Feist: October 5, 2011

Backed by a very impressive band - including Mountain Man - Feist played a few songs from Metals. She's a very sweet person and it was an interesting interview.
Feist - Words and Music - 2011

Yeasayer: February 2, 2010

One of the best sessions I've ever seen in Studio A. The band had so much gear and it seemed like every band member had some form of keyed instrument. They did great live versions of songs from Odd Blood. TAS in Session: Yeasayer
