It's Whole World Music, with host Craig Burk offering up the usual unusually eclectic program. Featured artists include Alice Coltrane (transcendental trance with a touch of jazz and a touch of India), Chicago innovator Jim O'Rourke, norteño's most charming singing accordionist Julieta Venegas, plaintive folk-rock from the much lamented Nick Drake, and Brazilian metal-rap maestro Chico Science. Plus: Miles Davis, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Sam Cooke, Joâo Gilberto, David Bowie, Frankie Laine, Stan Getz, Townes Van Zandt, and Muddy Waters. Plus the usual unsually surprising surprises. The walls of musical categories come tumbling down.
