  • 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.

Mike Campbell.
Q: Can you share the story of how The Boys Of Summer came together?

Mike Campbell.
Q: How did recording with Jeff Lynne influence your approach to making records?
Lynne's fast, decisive method and his habit of layering vocals and guitars served as a form of musical education for Campbell, pushing him to be more proactive in the studio and to value quick, efficient progress without sacrificing sonic depth.
Mike Campbell.
Q: What was the primary inspiration behind the title track Mission Of Mercy?
Campbell describes it as a song that leans into a Brian Wilson-inspired vibe, blending homage with an original voice that fits his own sensibilities, while also acknowledging the old material he's drawn from and the evolution of the track during production.
Blues Legend Charlie Musselwhite with GA-20's Matthew Stubbs
Q: How did you approach selecting songs for Blues Now, and what was the role of history in those choices?
The set list was a mix of traditional Musselwhite material revisited with Ga-20, plus carefully chosen covers like Willie Dixon's Crazy Love, with production decisions aimed at preserving the raw Ga-20 sound while honoring the legacy of Charlie's catalog.
Laura Veirs
Q: What led to Temple Songs and the space you built for recording?
Laura describes rediscovering her artistic identity after divorcing her longtime producer, taking back control of the writing, recording, and production herself, and creating a personal, private space—the Temple of Bloom—as a foundation for the album.
