Rock Swings

We've got a short show this week where we set the record straight after some listener email, and then rave about a new record from Paul Anka.

In case you haven't heard this one, it's a gasser!

Paul Anka Spins Pop His Way with 'Rock Swings'. One of the surprise critical hits of the summer is a new Paul Anka album called 'Rock Swings.' The teen-idol turned Vegas lounge singer puts a crooner's spin on some latter-day rock classics, including Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. [NPR Programs: Morning Edition]
