Carbon Leaf recorded their first album in 1995 and haven't looked back since. Today, with over a dozen albums released as a leading independent band, they have been tapped for a handful of national awards - many for their outstanding songwriting talent. Multi-award winning program director Ray White hooked up with their frontman Barry Privett who filled us in with his insights into the bands' early years along with their latest release Time Is The Playground. Be sure to listen to much more from the band with his founding bandmates joining us on Episode 51. In our showcase segment we feature the latest on U2 whose latest EP is Easter Lily, O.A.R. who just released the single "Where Are We Right Now" and Grammy Award winner Bruce Hornsby who just dropped his new CD titled Indigo Park. Independent and Alternative sides of the music spectrum are featured in this addition of Classic Artists Today!
