New Book Celebrates Iconic Limeliters trio

00:00 /

Rachel Anne Goodman speaks with Richard Ginell author of a book about the famed sixties trio, The Limeliters. The book, Makin’ A Joyful Noise, the Lives and Times of the (Slightly) Fabulous Limeliters explores the meteoric rise of the band and their role in shaping the music of that era. The interview includes a musical exploration of their history as well as the author’s memories as a superfan and music critic. Limeliters member and banjo player, Alex Hassilev, the last surviving member of the band, passed away in April, so this program is a kind of tribute to him.
