Musician Inspired by South Pas Sounds

Joe Henry records songs, including ambient sounds from the neighborhood, in his South Pas home.

Reverie is South Pasadena resident Joe Henry's 12th solo album; it was self-produced and recorded in his local basement studio, reports NPR.

Here's what the news outlet had to say about his South Pas-inspired music:

When you listen to Reverie, especially on headphones, you can hear traffic in the background or a neighbor calling her dog. It's not always a pristine recording environment. Henry not only left the windows open at his basement studio, but also put microphones on them.
