Yesterday we were saddened to learn of the death of multitalented music great Ian McLagan at age 69. In memory and tribute, last night on the Current Bill DeVille presented ten songs featuring McLagan. Listen to those songs above; you can also enjoy the session McLagan recorded in our studios this past January.
