Featured City Music by Kevin Morby on City Music (Dead Oceans) Info City Music is a song that he wrote on the banjo as an instrumental.

Marquee Moon by Television on Marquee Moon (Elektra) Info Marquee Moon by Television is one of my favorite songs of all time. I was tickled to pick out the influence in City Music, and to have it confirmed in that NPR interview. Shout out to Tom Verlaine's guitar on this song.
