Started with some twang from Duane Eddy, had some Good Friday/Easter related music before a long salute to Muddy Waters, whose 100th birthday is Saturday.
After the blues it went to swampy stuff from Jim White, and sampled new duets album from Van Morrison, and new works from Sufjan Stevens and Bjork. Closed out with a bunch of women from Annie Lennox, Jenny Lewis and Sharon Van Etten.
