The Story Behind: Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier, Ep 104

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Adam and the Ants took the UK pop scene by storm, but then the entire band struck out on their own and frontman Adam had to start over. He searched for new players, writing partners, and an array of musical influences that led him to create Kings of the Wild Frontier. The fellas get together to talk about Gilbert and Sullivan musicals, Burundi beats, and the link to the Brian Eno production style.
