Kathleen Edwards’ new album, Total Freedom, marks her return to music after eight years. Back in 2012, she decided to quit the business altogether and opened a coffee shop, the aptly named “Quitters Coffee.” Since then, she’s been waking up at the crack of dawn to work in her Ontario cafe - And it took an unexpected phone call from Nashville to get her back into the studio. We’ll hear that story today, and Kathleen performs songs from the new record, live. Coming up, on this encore edition of the World Cafe with host Raina Douris.

Nick Lowe has been writing songs for over 50 years, including classics like “What's So Funny ‘Bout Peace, Love, and Understanding” and “Cruel to Be Kind.” But in the ‘70s, he was known for his work as a producer – at the upstart label Stiff Records – and it was there that he first started working with a young Elvis Costello. We’ll hear about that era today, as well as his recent work – a new EP with Los Straitjackets, called Lay It on Me Baby. And Nick performs live from his home in London. That’s coming up, on the next World Cafe with host Stephen Kallao.
