About this listen
Hear actor, comedian, producer, and writer Denis Leary, and recording artist Michael Hearst on this edition of Fresh Air.
Leary's show Rescue Me on FX begins its fourth season next week. He plays the highly dysfunctional yet macho firefighter Tommy Gavin. Leary also starred in the short-lived but critically acclaimed ABC comedy series, The Job. And he's known for his work in films such as The Thomas Crown Affair and The Ref. Leary has completed over 20 feature films, several cable specials, a book, a CD, and he has had an international hit song.
Then, Michael Hearst, one of the founders of the band One Ring Zero. His new release is Songs for Ice Cream Trucks, a collection of new songs he wrote just for fun. But Hearst has been getting calls from ice cream truck drivers who want to use the songs. The titles include "Where Do Ice Cream Trucks Go in the Winter", "The Sprinkle Twinkle", "Tones for Cones", and "The Popsicle Parade". Some of the instruments you'll hear on the collection include glockenspiel, electronic chord organ, melodica, theremin, guitar, bass, and drums. [Broadcast Date: June 7, 2007]
