205: Singers Who Write Songs

This episode’s silly title doesn’t necessarily allude to a set full of singer-songwriteresque tunes; there’s some of that in here, but also just people who recorded under their own name. We’ll hear from Vic Chesnutt (pictured), Robyn Hitchcock, Aimee Mann, Paul Westerberg, Billy Bragg, Mary Lou Lord, Grants Hart and McLennan, Jonathan Richman, Arthur Russell, Bob Mould, Barbara Manning, Julian Cope, and a few others.
