Shades and Cass McCombs on MBE

Cass-and-Nic

Black shades all around this morning during Cass McCombs set --  I guess it was a bit early for the guys, who have been touring with KCRW favorite Jose Gonzalez. Cass and co. brought some beautiful songs to our airwaves this morning. He’s a bit mysterious and didn’t give too much away in the interview, other than letting us know that the first songs he learned on guitar were children’s songs (his mom is a teacher) and he recorded his current album in Pasadena.  The Chicago artist is signed to Domino and the new album, Dropping the Writ, is GREAT.  Easy to pick my favorite songs from this set – “That’s That,” “Pregnant Pause,” and “Deseret.”
