Rock n Roll Grad School #169 Van Dyke Parks

Luke has the flu. Heidi is off gallivanting. Until they rejoin
forces next week, enjoy this classic episode of Grad School,
culled from deep within our vaults.

The music of Van Dyke Parks has always taken you on a journey,
replete with exquisite sounds and thoughtful
concepts. 

His most recent collaboration is no different- he never met
Veronica Valerio, but the resulting album is no less compelling.
We talked with Van Dyke about the new album, finger foods in
Berlin, the Twentieth Century Fox theme music and the various
books of the bible in this wide-ranging conversation. "Only In
America," Van Dyke Parks orchestrates Veronica Valerio is
available everywhere on June 11th.
