This podcast launched with a heartfelt memorial to John Prine. And so kicking off Season 2 with a next-generation tribute to Prine made perfect sense. Rising star Karoline Lotti shares her divine interpretation of Prine--and brings her dad along too! Plus much more. 

An already seminal song can be completely reanimated when it goes to another continent, gender, genre, etc. And what if it is exported and re-imported? Check it out. And as always, here's the Spotify playlist of the full versions of (most of) what we played: https://spoti.fi/3igJj1k

Tedeschi, Bromberg (of course), Baez, Hendrix, Kris, Simone, Odetta, The Dead, George, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Patti Smith, and more. Thank you, Mike Hall! Make sure to also check out the Spotify companion playlist for full versions and bonus tracks: https://spoti.fi/2QKWCh7

Don't be afraid! The name (and skulls) are largely meaningless. This is complex,  emotional, and totally accessible Americana. Let us walk you through some cool stuff way beyond Truckin'. And share some stories along the way. Here's the Spotify playlist we drew from (with bonus material): https://spoti.fi/39dZLfa

We have always been huge country fans. But not the kind of country you might think. We skip the crass commercial stuff and instead go for outlaw country from Nashville and Texas, 70s West Coast country rock, delta country blues Americana, some 60s Greenwich Village influence, and British Invasion! Oh yeah, and Saskatchewan. Here's the Spotify playlist (minus the YouTube stuff, and plus some bonus material we didn't have time to play): https://spoti.fi/3jkkKkp

Yes, we were weird. Especially compared to our parents. And our music was weird too. But also awesome. Spanning the globe and several decades. Join me, my Dad, Germs (Jeremy) and Davey as we re-live MHS class of '91. And here is the Spotify playlist for the show: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1zVJxNwrpTHo22Gccs1FCM

Two part series: In this episode, my Dad and a couple of his high school friends (MHS class of '63) discuss and share the music that was important to them. Then I'll do the same with my pals (MHS class of '91) in Episode 9. Enjoy! The playlist (minus Nick Rivers) can be found here:

No, not Williams and Nelson. Hank Douglas and Willie Davis are friends of mine, and the frontmen of the New Prodigal Sonz, channeling Sam Cook and James Brown with a true calling. We also hear from Aretha (and her dad), the Holmes Bros, Taj, The King, and more.
