55. Laura Bell Bundy on Shania Twain, Otis Redding and Bright Eyes

Tony-nominated Broadway star, country singer-songwriter and TV star Laura Bell Bundy drops by for an episode as diverse as her career - delving into Shania Twain's 1996 mega-hit "Come On Over", the soulful inspiration of Otis Redding's "Greatest Hits" and the introspective New York vibes of Bright Eyes 2005 record "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning".

How did Shania change the kind of songs Laura wrote for herself? What's the best kind of animal to have in your live set? How does the dichotomy of her album "Achin and Shakin" reflect her love for Shania and Otis? Who does Laura think she's the musical love child of? Does Laura have any plans to start making Bright Eyes style political music?
