Season 5 Ep. #5 - James Jackson Toth - Wooden Wand


Listen Later

For me there is Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and James Jackson Toth, aka, Wooden Wand. A singular voice of his generation, Toth has single handedly expressed the poetic and abstract reality of not only being a songwriter, but a person during the many countless and hectic times we've all survived in the last 20 to 25 years. His flawless breath embodies what it truly means to be an artist and his mastery of words and cosmic phrases only put him up there with the greats. It was a sublime moment in my life to speak with James about growing up in New York before his poetic departure to the many locations he has dwelled over the years including the south, West Virginia and his current location with his wife and dog, Wisconsin. We speak about the Dead, of course, his approach to song-writting, heavy metal, life on the road, making records and so much more. Toth is my favorite song writer for a reason and I hope that after this episode you'll understand for yourself if you don't already. Enjoy!
