KCRW chose percussionist Joachim Cooder’s smooth jam, Sade-inspired collaboration with brother-in-law Robert Francis for Today’s Top Tune. Listen here:
http://bit.ly/GDuT26 The track comes from Cooder’s new LP, ‘Love on a Real Train,’ which KCRW calls “a thoughtful cycle of songs inspired by the view from his Echo Park studio at sunset.” Featuring musicians Inara George, Petra Haden, Juliette Commagere, Matt Costa, Jon Hassell, and Frank Lyon, this is Cooder’s debut as a bandleader.

‘Love on a Real Train’ is out April 3rd on Aeronaut Records.
