A secret songwriter – and musical variety

OK, pop quiz: What huge 1986 hit by an all-girl group was secretly written by Prince under a pseudonym?

To find out, you need to listen to this week’s edition of The Big Fat Wide Americana Hour.

Not exactly an onerous chore. The show – with Rosanne Cash, Rodney Crowell, Stevie Wonder, Guy Clark and so many others – might just be the most fun you have all week long.

See you there.

And remember – turn it up. I mean, crank it!

Your friend,
