Ted Leo stopped by NPR’s soon-to-be-cancelled Bryant Park Project for a short solo set. Included in the interview and performance is a cover of the Waterboys’ “Fisherman’s Blues” and a new one. Tune in here.

Well done, Ted. "Fisherman's Blues" is one of my all-time favorite songs, and you did it a good service.

Oh, and it is amazing.
