What's So Funny About Peace Love & Understanding?

You may not get a definitive answer to that musical question during this program, but you will hear some great songs about peace, love, and understanding- as well songs about kindness and hope. You’ll also hear two great and very different versions of the title song, which was written by British songwriter Nick Lowe and made famous by rocker Elvis Costello.

Featured artists include Keb Mo, James Keelaghan, Eric Bibb, Martin Simpson, Tom Paxton, Carrie Newcomer, Toshi Reagon, Kate Wolf, Nina Gerber, John McCutcheon, and Lucy Kaplansky, along with Portland artists Mo Mack, Mona Warner, and Misty River and Seattle’s Laura love.

Peace, love, and understanding may not be funny, but we sure need them!
