NPR's All Songs Considered: A Band to Call Your Own
Series: All Songs Considered from NPR Music
From: NPR Music
Length: 00:28:59
On our All Songs Considered blog we recently asked listeners to tell us about a favorite band that few people have ever heard. Think of it as "a band to call your own" ? an artist or group you love and want to keep all to yourself, even though you know it'd be cool if they got the attention they deserve. We got a lot of suggestions. On this edition of All Songs Considered we share some of the standouts.
