Description

When local folk legend Michael Hurley died last spring, his friend Alela Diane was inspired to write “Spring Is A Fine Time (To Die),” an homage to her friend and his career.

The song helped catalyze the making of her new album, which was recorded live in the attic of her Portland home.

Diane joins us in the studio, along with fellow musician Peter Lalish, for a conversation and live performance.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
