On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Whitney Johnson! Whitney did something I’ve always dreamed about - releasing two different albums (under two separate names no less!) on the same day, and both of them are fabulous. We talk about that and some other sound projects before diving into all the sides of Sonny Sharrock, Prince’s all-time greatness, unrepentant love for ABBA, Psychic TV destroying us, the Steve Winwood hypetrain, and FINALLY someone’s favorite song is also my favorite song, so we had a moment at the end. Plus more, obviously!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Tomin! This one feels full circle. Ever since learning about Tomin’s music nearly four years ago, I’ve felt a special connection to it. It’s been hard to explain, but after seeing his picks for this episode and talking to him about them, it makes a lot more sense. His latest record, “A Willed and Conscious Balance,” is out now International Anthem and is such a special listen. We talk about that, his cheat code of a band, and plenty more before diving into TLC’s eye-opening impact, the all-time greatness of jaimie branch, the absurdly underappreciated Marvin Hannibal Peterson, living in the same timeline as Alice Coltrane, transcending with Ballake Sissiko, Charles Mingus, James Brandon Lewis, John Coltrane, and loads more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s amelia courthouse! I loved her last album, “ruby glass,” a lot, but the connection with the new one, “broken things,” runs so much deeper. We talked about growing up with church hymns and the affinity we still feel for a lot of that music before diving into one hell of an episode. We get into why there can only ever be one Leonard Cohen, obsessing over 80s Bob Dylan, finally getting Fleetwood Mac , the magic and catharsis of Larry Young, Beth Nielson Chapman crushing us, Vince Gill, The Handsome Family, The Velvets, and so much more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Chuck Johnson! His new album, “Sun Glories,” has been out for a few months, but it’s hitting harder as the temperatures finally drop here. We got into the record, the nature of collaboration, hope, and more before digging into his picks. Chuck kept me on my toes as we chatted about Donna Summer’s greatness, Hamza el Din stopping you in your tracks, Beth Gibbons’ incredible range, Pauline Oliveros deep cuts, David Bowie, SANAM, Queen, and more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Sarah Davachi! Sarah’s one of the hardest working people in world of experimental composition, so much so that she has TWO new releases out and on the way . Her latest, “The Head As Form’d In The Crier’s Choir,” came out last month, and it’s incredible. In November, “Music For A Bellowing Room” - a durational piece made in collaboration with filmmaker Dicky Bahto - will be released. It all feels like a dream. Even with that, Sarah took the time to chat with me about early Steve Miller Band memories, the genius of Prince, when things finally click, the improbability of Butthole Surfers, Genesis, John Frusciante, Bobb Trimble, and so much more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Darius Jones! He’s been on a tear in recent years, and his last three albums - including the latest, “Legend of e’Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye)” - have really left a mark on me. I was thrilled to talk to Darius about the new record, his mental health journey, and so much more. We get into George Clinton’s all-timer status, classic Jacko, Andy Bey being weird and great, Meshell Ndegeocello’s multiple talents, the magic connection between MF Doom and Madlib, Henry Threadgill, Patti Labelle, and more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Mali Obomsawin! I’ve wanted to have Mali on the show for a while so when “symbiont,” her incredible new album in collaboration with Jake Blount was announced, I knew this was a perfect opportunity. This episode was way more fun than it had any right to be. After talking a bit about the record and working with Jake, we get into all the hits… Prince, ODB, Tom Petty, how great Labrys is, Roy Orbison’s wild arrangements. the Beatles politics, Bob Dylan’s sexy side, and loads more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Jake Blount! He’s got a new record in collaboration with Mali Obomsawin, “symbiont,” coming out on Smithsonian Folkways later this month. It’s absolutely incredible. We talk about how he and Mali came to work together and dig into the album a bit before going in on a bunch of songs. We talk about unlikely stadium anthems, Imogen Heap not getting the recognition she should, the amazing sound of the jouhikko, the beauty and heartbreak of Brown Bird, reassessing Linkin Park, Fiona Apple, Trent Reznor, Our Native Daughters, and more!
