Tonight on Explorers Room: a headlong dive into the glorious world of Van Dyke Parks' 1972 masterpiece Discover America, including virtually every song covered on that album in its original version, various other Calypso/Steelband projects in which he was involved, and numerous other examples of the ongoing conversation between American popular culture and the music of the West Indies. Calypso is both fun to hear and mind-blowing to listen to, and Van Dyke Parks is one of the most clever, brilliant producers and musicians in the history of American recorded music, so this show will be fun. Tune in tonight! 7-9 EST, same place as always:
