Gail Ann Dorsey: 8Track
8Track with guest DJ Gail Ann Dorsey
Gail Ann Dorsey is a world class musician. The renowned bass player and singer might be most famous for her 20-plus years as an integral member of David Bowie’s band, but Gail has worked with an array of artists — from The National and Lenny Kravitz, to Indigo Girls and Gang of Four — and released several solo albums.
Gail also has a longtime love of radio, but I didn’t know the role that film plays in her story. So this "8Track" is all about songs as soundtracks — to movies, and to life.
