Episode 11 - Sam Smith, The Arcs, The Tallest Man On Earth

Musicology With Kurt

This week, I look at tradition and how certain artists are adhering to it. With the announcement of Sam Smith as the singer of the new James Bond theme, we look back at past Bond themes to determine what makes a great one. We also have a listen to The Arcs - a new retro-soul side project from Dan Auerbach - and go searching for The Tallest Man On Earth and his 2013 watershed moment 'There's No Leaving Now'.
