A STEREO Concert and interview with singer/songwriter and musician DAVE ALVIN. He's best known for his guitar "firepower" with the Blasters (for which he was also primary composer and songwriter). He also had a short stint with the band X. ALVIN went solo a few years ago, and began honing his voice. He's just released his third solo album -- his first accoustic one -- "King of California" (HighTone Records).
