Talking Heads- Little Creatures 40th- David Byrne, Jerry Harrison 6-9

By the time of the June 1985 release of Little Creatures, the Talking Heads were going through both major career growth and personal  maturity. Their preceding 1983 studio album Speaking in Tongues was their most popular to date; their foray into the major film world with Stop Making Sense was a critical and box office revelation; and bandmembers starting families all gave main songwriter David Byrne fresh new topics to explore. “And She Was” and “Stay Up Late” are just two examples.

David Byrne and keyboard/ guitar player Jerry Harrison are my guests introducing us to Little Creatures by Talking Heads the week of June 9 on the album’s fortieth anniversary. –Redbeard
