8Track with Guest DJ Danny Clinch

Danny Clinch is a renowned music photographer whose credits range from Johnny Cash and Tupac to Björk and Bruce Springsteen. He's also a producer of the Sea.Hear.Now Festival, a filmmaker, and he plays harmonica.

So when I gave Danny the tough task of picking only eight songs to share, he decided to put the harp in the spotlight — even giving a mini lesson during our conversation. And those songs led to some great stories, including how he introduced Paul McCartney to B.B. King, played with Blind Melon, and captured the iconic cover photo for Johnny Cash's album American III: Solitary Man.
