Greg Laswell: 'Through Toledo'

Singer-songwriter Greg Laswell recently released a new CD called Through Toledo. Music critic Christian Bordal talks with Laswell about the painful events that inspired his songs — and the digital recording technology that allowed Laswell to play every instrument, and record and engineer the songs himself.

Christian Bordal
Christian Bordal is a Norwegian-American (via Australia) musician, radio producer, and freelance music journalist who contributes regularly to Day to Day. He's very good at making faces and making a fool of himself, and he once impressed his NPR editors with a drunken recitation of the gibberish poem "Jabberwocky." He briefly considered launching a career performing at children's parties, but he finds his own children to be trouble enough. In addition to this list of remarkable professional accomplishments, he is a producer at member station KCRW in Los Angeles.
