Rick Springfield joins host Raina Douris

Rick Springfield may be best known for “Jessie’s Girl” but he has done so much more – nearly 30 albums in 6 decades – with a new one coming this Friday. In 2018 he stopped by World Cafe around thetime he released The Snake King, which has songs about his lifelong battle with depression. He talks about that and performs live next time on an encore edition of the World Cafe.
