Amos Lee joins host Raina Douris

A few years ago while going through some hard times, Amos Lee started listening to Chet Baker’s 1954 classic record, Chet Baker Sings. He listened to it over and over, but that wasn’t enough. He needed to sing it himself. On the World Cafe, Amos Lee and producer David Streim dig into the full album tribute, called My Ideal. Step back in time with this conversation, plus a live studio performance.
