    I’m constantly amazed by the amount of knowledge that Paul Myers has in the music business. But not only that he is a successful writer that gives him an uncanny ability to communicate with his audience. Tons of stuff here that I never knew and so happy that I listen to this podcast.

  • Music Lover’s Paradise

    Paul, I never would have found this podcast if you weren’t on “Fly On the Wall.” So glad I heard you mention it because this podcast is a music lover’s paradise. Just listened to your interview with Peter Guralnick, and have only read his excellent “Finding Robert Johnson.” Now I have much more to read! Your interview style is so casual and informative. Keep up the great work. Oh, and I also plan to add your John Candy bio book to my list of Christmas purchases - for myself and a few friends.

  • Great show!

    This is consistently a great podcast with amazing interviews with superstars and (equally interesting) lesser known artists.

  • Great podcast for keeping up with what's happening in music, not just bands and musicians, but also famous music fans. Nicely paced with usually more than one guest per episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jimmy Webb
Q: What was it like to have Glenn Campbell, the singer on the first record you bought, later record your songs and make them hits?
Webb says it felt unreal to hear Campbell singing his songs, and that he wondered how it could be happening as he listened in his car.
Jimmy Webb
Q: What led you to revisit songs that had been passed over by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Dolly Parton or Linda Ronstadt?
Webb explains that hearing old demos with Fred Mullen made him recognize the songs' promise. At 80, he felt free to revise and record them, carefully reconsidering words, notes and arrangements instead of quickly moving on as he had earlier in his career.
Eels
Q: What was the first record that you remember buying in any kind of physical media, but that you remember buying in a store?
Everett cannot recall the first record he bought with his own money, but remembers buying Wings' Wildlife as a child after recognizing Paul McCartney on its cover. He later came to appreciate the album's homemade quality and uses it as a reference for tuning a turntable and sound system.
Eels
Q: Does making an album imply that you go out and record as you're coming up with songs and slowly collect them over time? Do you have a timeline when you make an album?
Everett says the process varies. Sometimes he has a timeline or a concept, but Cookie Happened came together song by song, with each song becoming its own world.
Mike Campbell.
Q: Can you share the story of how The Boys Of Summer came together?
Campbell recounts creating the drum arrangement with a Linn drum machine, initially using a minor chord in the chorus, and later changing it to a major lift after Henley's interest, which helped cement the track's success.
