Description:

On this edition of "A Musician's Life" Tracey Tanenbaum speaks with Marc Cohn. He's an artist with a rich voice and a knack for thoughtful lyrics. But he's not the most prolific guy around. He's best known for his 1991 hit "Walking in Memphis". He's just released his first album in nearly a decade called "Join the Parade". He talks about the near death experience that helped kick-start the album.
