♫ Episode #9 – Will Hermes on Discovering New Music
Jul 15, 2016•30 min
Episode description
In the latest episode of The Next Track, Doug Adams and Kirk McElhearn welcome NPR and Rolling Stone music critic Will Hermes. We take a brief stroll down memory lane, then discuss music discovery: how does a music critic, overwhelmed with choice, discover new music.
“For me to just become a nostalgia merchant; as a writer, and as a music fan, not interested.”
