Another chance to hear Iggy's take on the decade that birthed Rock 'n' Roll.

He'll be joined by the New York based music critic and author of Every Song Ever, Ben Ratliff.

Born in the U.S. state of Michigan towards the end of the 1940s, Iggy first found musical notoriety as the lead singer in the highly influential band The Stooges.

Iggy's on record as saying that his first exposure to the 50s classic Rumble by Link Wray was a major catalyst in his own career.

Ben Ratliff was born in 1968 in Manhattan, N.Y. He was the new York Times jazz and pop critic for twenty years.
