Aaron chats with John Bare, whose new book is “My Biscuit Baby,” the latest in a series of murder mysteries set in Chapel Hill – and as with his last book, there’s an album of original music to go along with it, co-written by local music legend Don Dixon. (Perhaps best known as a producer of REM’s early albums, Dixon helped launch the Chapel Hill music scene when he co-founded the band Arrogance in a UNC dorm room in the late ’60s.) After Bare discusses the novel, Dixon and Brigid Kaelin play one of the songs.
