All-Wheel Drive with journalist & musician Jim Walsh

Special mid-week treat today, as celebrated journalist & musician Jim Walsh stopped by All-Wheel Drive to chat with Jessica in advance of his appearance tonight at Content – Purveyors of New and Used Books — and later he’ll perform along with Northfield favorites Matt Arthur & The Bratlanders at  The Contented Cow. Great conversation about Jim’s two recently published collections of essays — “Bar Yarn & Manic Depressive Mix Tapes” and “Gold Experience: Following Prince in the 90s” — both chronicling the bands and musicians (including the late great Prince) behind the legendary “Minneapolis sound.”

Listen to the segment here. And learn more about Jim — including his upcoming album release on May 20 — at www.madripplehoot.com.
