David Jacks is this episode's guest to discuss his book Peter Asher: A Life in Music. It covers the life and career of English guitarist, singer, manager, and record producer Peter Asher, who was one-half of the 60s pop duo Peter and Gordon before going on to a successful career as a manager and record producer. Asher has worked with a long list of legendary artists including James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Steely Dan’s Donald Fagan, Diana Ross, Cher, Neil Diamond, Randy Newman, Kenny Loggins, Morrissey, Ed Sheeran, and Steve Martin. David spoke with Peter himself for the book along with over 100 artists, friends, and colleagues and he’s here to share some of the fantastic stories, including why there are two versions of James Taylor's "Carolina In My Mind" and if it's true Mike Myers created his look for Austin Powers on Peter Asher.
