Our Guest for the full hour today is New York City based folk music icon Suzanne Vega. Suzanne has a new album on her own label called Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles, her first album of new material in 7 years. She broke through in the 1980's with songs like "Luka" and "Tom's Diner" which became a pop hit when remixed by DNA. Suzanne discusses how “Tom’s Diner” changed her relationship with hip-hop andwe’ll get her to contrast the Greenwich Village folk scene as depicted in the film Inside Llewyn Davis with the one she was part of in the 80’s.
