Veteran radio presenter Alan Haber goes in-depth with pop music's greatest artists, from songwriters and performers to engineers and producers. Interviews are presented here in scoped format.

For part two of our Tiny Tim special, musician Richard Barone and author Justin Martell talk with Alan about Tiny Tim's America, a fascinating and entertaining never-before-heard performance.
In 1974, Tiny recorded a selection of turn-of-the-century songs in a New York City hotel room. Augmenting the recordings with light instrumentation, producer Barone has fashioned a lovely release that is sure to delight Tiny aficionados, as well as fans of music that stands the test of time.
The songs played during this program are "So What's the Use," "That Railroad Rag," and "I'm Looking for a Sweetheart and I Think You'll Do." Sound samples for these and the other songs on Tiny Tim's America can be found by clicking on this link: http://lightintheattic.net/releases/2226-tiny-tim-s-america

Terry Draper changes the way albums are made with the release of his new collection, Windows on the World: The Lost 80's Tapes.
The album proper is presented alongside a pair of songs crafted in the Europop style, five of Terry’s songs sung by female vocalists, five completed songs designated by Terry as “not yet finished,” two videos, and a digital booklet containing photos and both technical and personal annotation. Also included is a letter from Terry that draws on his musical history, from his first band to the release of this album. And all of this is presented on a USB flash drive in the shape of a guitar.
Terry talks about this unique release, and we play three songs.

Dana Countryman's Girlville! New Songs in the Style of Yesterday's Hits! will be released on January 13, 2017. During this program, Dana spoke publicly for the first time about this new-phase album, which warmly salutes the music of the girl group/Brill Building era.
These fabulous new songs, sung by such top female singers as Lisa Mychols and Molly Felder (Swan Dive), represent the realization of Dana's dream project. Released on Australia's Teensville label, Girlville! will likely stand as one of the top releases of next year.
During this program, we exclusively aired this album's first single, "I've Run All Out of Tears," sung by Lisa Mychols, which can be heard and purchased at the following link:
