Music You Need To Hear: Imelda May, Bob Dylan, Frightened Rabbit, David Byrne

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Commodore%20Skahill/Colin%20McEnroe%20Show%20-%2009-19-2012.mp3

For years now, we've been getting Wally Lamb, Eric Danton and Joan Holliday together to talk about pop music and share the little treasures they've found. It's always a fun show, and the three of them have great chemistry.

Today's show was a little different, just because, more than usual, there are some must-have releases out right now that nobody can stay away from.
 
Nobody doesn't want to talk about Frank Ocean. Everybody's fascinated by Dylan's 35th studio album. And then there's the intensely listenable collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincent. These aren't the semi-obscure, esoteric finds that our trio specializes in. 
But they're releases that just can't be ignored.
