Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with the legendary Sam Moore.
Sam Moore and the late Dave Prater came together in 1961 and formed one of the greatest vocal duos of all time: Sam & Dave. “Soul man,” Hold On! I’m Comin’,” Wrap it Up,” “I Thank you.” Just listen to their catalog and you’ll know exactly why they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame, and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about how Sam and Dave became Sam and Dave, the nerves he struggles with before he goes onstage, the sage advice he received from Moms Mabley, the sneaky thing his manager wife started doing behind his back. You’re gonna hear some stories about his various vocal collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, and something he does with a penny that I will never, ever get over… all that and so much Moore.

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Al Schackman on Nina Simone. As Nina’s guitarist and musical director, she was more like a sister than anything. But this wasn’t just any sister. This was the mercurial, controversial, enigmatic, “high Priestess of Soul.” And with that comes incredible stories of her immense talent and outrageous temper, her fight for what she believed when it could literally get her killed, and that voice, that voice, that VOICE!

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Jim James of the critically acclaimed, Americana, psychedelic, experimental, rock and roll band ~ My Morning Jacket. And by the way, none of those labels or genres I just mentioned can define who this man is, and what he sounds like. Because he’s always changing, striving and evolving, taking his voices places that its yet to go.
In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about what he learned from Kermit the Frog and Chris Cornell. The power of reverb. Making mistakes. The beauty of making mistakes. How to connect with a song you wrote years ago. His continuing search for the spirit inside of his voice, and inside of himself, and so much more. There’s a lot of things to take home with you on this one, whether you’re a singer or not.

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Emmylou Harris. A Country Music Hall of Fame Inductee. Winner of 14 Grammy Awards, plus a Lifetime Achievement Award. An absolute legend. And one of my favorite voices of all-time.
In this episode you’re also gonna hear us talk about the shimmer that a song should have. What she learned early on from collaborating with Gram Parsons. How she overcame some vocal issues. The importance of a great producer. What it takes to make a confident leap of faith. And the key to great harmony singing from one of the best to ever do it. It’s no coincidence that she has sung with so many legends from Mavis Staples to Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson. Roy Orbison, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, John Prine and Neil Young to name a few. She was in a supergroup called Trio with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt.. and we’re gonna discuss all of it and much more.

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Destructee, and one of the iconic founders of Punk Rock: John Lydon (PiL, The Sex Pistols).

We speak about his horrific stage fright, his false demons, and surprising shyness. How he stole some of his vocal style from Speedy Gonzalez, why it’s important to shred the rulebook (and the Sex Pistols), and his continuing search for something that hasn’t been sung already.
