Eric Slick joins host Stephen Kallao

On his new album, Eric Slick wanted to break his own self-imposed rules about what his music should or shouldn’t sound like. The resulting album, called New Age Rage, is ten tracks of pure, unadulterated fun. On the next World Cafe, the longtime drummer of Dr. Dog joins us to talk about letting his personality shine through on his new solo album, finding inspiration in cheesy 80s movies, and drumming for Taylor Swift.

Listen to the session here.
