God Ween Evan

God Ween Evan continues its periodic interview series, where someone in or around Ween and the Ween community chews the fat with the team. Next up is legendary musician and producer Ben Vaughn. Ben's musical bio is extraordinary. He has had a prolific solo career, provided scores for several films, has a prodigious list of album production credits to his name (Los Straitjackets, Arthur Alexander, Nancy Sinatra, the soundtrack CD of the film Swingers, to name a few), as well as many other notable projects. For the purpose of this podcast, Ben was the producer of Ween's 12 Golden Country Greats and Aaron Freeman's Marvelous Clouds. The focus of this episode lies wholly on Ween's famed Country album and this interview with Ben features an in-depth track-by-track, behind-the-scenes look at the birth of Ween's fifth studio album from the producer responsible for bringing it to life.

Happy Holidays all, and to all a Brown Night...

We spent a year trying to convince Evan to love Ween, and it worked. So now we're getting ambitious and trying to pull off a similar feat in a single episode — this time with the Phish from Vermont. Join us as Paul shares his Phishtory (with an assist from Producer Mikey) as they try to get the gang to share in the groove.

We all know Evan digs Ween, but can the little man in the sailor suit handle Ween on Weed? We smoked some grass and got really really high and found out. Happy 4/20!
