On this Vintage Cafe from 2011, The Decemberists perform songs from their then-new album The King Is Dead.
The King Is Dead, which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart shortly after its release in early 2011, features a slew of notable guest artists, including Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Peter Buck and Laura Veirs.
The Decemberists discuss the project with David Dye on World Cafe, Monday @ 8pm on 90.5 FM WCBE, 106.3 FM in Newark and on-line at wcbe.org.
