Courtney Barnett: Sending out ‘Empathy Signals’

The acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett recently completed her first U.S. solo tour. NewsHour Weekend's Tom Casciato caught up with Barnett at her stop at the historic Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY. They discussed not only her music, but also her coining of words, how she struggles to write with compassion, and the bush fires that devastated Australia earlier this year.
