Episode 10: A Complete Unknown, Nathan Moore + Jeremy Korpas

Reed sees "A Complete Unknown" and needs to talk about it, so he reaches out to Virginia songwriter Nathan Moore, New Orleans Musicologist Jeremy Korpas, and even Reed's next door neighbor Jane!  And we hear an incredible improvised rendition of "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding"

Episode 9: Adam MacDougall / Steve Kimock / Giulio Xavier Cetto
