The Co-Write

Let's try something new!   On this episode of The Co-Write we are going to talk about some new music.  Moving forward we hope to bring you a New Music Monday pod the first Monday of the month, and guess what ... that's today!  (3:56) We handle a little bit of breaking news right off the top as it was announced that Taylor Swift finally purchased the master recordings of her first 6 albums.  A story we have covered in the past is finally settled.  What it means for any future Taylor's Version albums remains unclear.  (8:55) I mentioned in our previous episode notes that we recently lost an interview with Drew Kennedy discussing his new album, "Drew Kennedy".  Mother Nature remains undefeated.  We do our best to recap that lost interview as well as share our thoughts about this fabulous new release from the preeminent songwriter in our "scene".   (28:47) Later, we check out Kat Hasty's recent release, "The Time of Your Life".  We haven't discussed the ascendent Kat Hasty on the pod before, but it doesn't take much to see why she has made so many waves throughout the region.  (42:30) Finally, In a very controversial decision considering the vast majority of this podcasts listenership, Donovan shares his recent love of all things Morgan Wallen.  We talk about his latest 37 song epic, "I'm the Problem".   As always ...  Download, Subscribe & Enjoy! 

On this episode of The Co-Write, we discuss the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's class of 2025.  Boy, did we ever get our predictions wrong.   Donovan also talks about his recent visit to the Rock Hall!  Download, Subscribe & Enoy!    *Note - This was originally supposed to be episode 149.  We recorded an interview with Drew Kennedy discussing his upcoming self titled release out this Friday.  During the recording of that interview a severe thunderstorm developed over us.  It actually hailed during the interview.  Long story short, I couldn't find to saved audio from the interview for about a week.  I found it, but the audio was corrupted.  It just sounded like white noise.  Weird.  We will work on getting Drew back on the pod as soon as we can.
