Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scott Mulvahill: Collaboration, Craft, and Creative Risk
Q: Can you explain the origin of the Database instrument and what you're hoping it will enable for your live shows?
The Database blends upright bass, MIDI triggers, and Ableton to expand the sonic palette beyond what a bass alone can do, while keeping the performance alive and visually engaging with lighting that syncs to the sounds.
Scott Mulvahill: Collaboration, Craft, and Creative Risk
Q: You mentioned your approach to collaborating across genres. How has working with Ricky Skaggs influenced your playing and sense of timing?
Joining Ricky's bluegrass band was like grad school; learning to navigate a drumless rhythm section, staying tight with the tempo, and understanding when to push ahead during solos all sharpened my overall musical vocabulary.
Scott Mulvahill: Collaboration, Craft, and Creative Risk
Q: So you were telling me about all the places you've been playing recently, how do you balance the travel with creative work?
It helps to have a mix of regional shows and bigger opportunities, and I try to keep projects that feed each other—solo work for personal expression and bands like Slap Dragon for collaborative energy.
James Woods: The Road Back Through Songwriting (Part One)
Q: What makes your collaboration with Shooter Jennings and Bob Wayne special?
The trio creates music that blends the artist's personal storytelling with high-level production and live-in-the-room musicianship, producing a cohesive sound across complex musical structures and a shared vision for concept albums.
James Woods: The Road Back Through Songwriting (Part One)
Q: How did The Road Back come to be and why was it chosen as the prologue?
The Road Back emerged from a realization that the artist's life had enough material for a true second act; it was recorded as a spoken prologue to introduce the autobiographical arc of Hear the Thunder Crack.
