Our guest this week on Art of the Song is acclaimed singer/songwriter/song interpreter Joan Osborne. AllMusic.com declared her “the most gifted vocalist of her generation.” She’s performed with Motown’s revered rhythm section the Funk Brothers and toured with the Grateful Dead. In her latest album, Trouble and Strife, Joan tackles an array of socio-political issues including immigration and the weaponization of misinformation while simultaneously uplifting and empowering listeners.

The 700-year period of Muslim courts and conquerors in Medieval Spain (711-1492) leaves behind many mysteries. In the first of a three-part look at the musical legacy of Andalusia, this program presents period recreations of medieval Spanish music and considers the lasting influences the era would have on Europe. This program takes a provocative look at instruments--the lute and the violin--at the tradition of troubadours, European poetry and vocal styles, and much more, all informed by the insights of Al-Andalus scholar Dwight Reynolds (University of California, Santa Barbara). Many enigmas remain, but you may never hear European music in quite the same way after this venture into the heritage of Al-Andalus. This is part of Afropop Worldwide's "Hip Deep" series exploring the historical roots of musical cultures of the Afro-Atlantic world.

It’s Orville Peck on the next World Cafe.

The White House released an account of a phone call between President Trump and the leader of Ukraine in which President Trump asked the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to do him a "favor" and "look into" the involvement of Joe Biden and his son in the Ukrainian private sector. The President says it was a "nothing call." Conservative commentators say the call shows no "quid pro quo." Democrats say they don't need a "quid pro quo" to make a case for an abuse of Presidential power. We'll look at what this means for a possible case for impeachment on the next Morning Edition from NPR News.

For the past year, NPR has been taking a deep look at American anthems and all the forms they can take. These are the songs that unite us, inspire us or say something about what it means to be an American — songs as traditional as Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," or as defiant as Public Enemy's "Fight the Power."

On this special edition of All Songs Considered, NPR's Elizabeth Blair and Tom Cole share highlights from this ongoing series, along with some of the stories behind their favorite tracks, from "America The Beautiful" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" to Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." and Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man."
