Everybody sings the chorus, but superfans quote the verse.

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS with people who have made records with some of the biggest names in music. Along the way, they might be engineering the recordings, picking the songs, guiding the singers, picking the best takes of songs, balancing egos, fixing the lyrics, booking the studio time, buying lunch, playing instruments, pushing artists further, writing or cowriting the songs, selecting the musicians to use, overseeing the mixes, and many other tasks. Making records is always a combination of many skills and goals, and the producer needs to have what it takes to make the session productive and the music compelling.In this book, interviewees include people who have worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Public Enemy, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, P!nk, U2, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Wu-Tang Clan, David Bowie, T.Rex, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, the Replacements, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, Tom Petty, and Sabrina Carpenter, plus more.

In this episode of American Tapestry, Andrew Roth continues his exploration of America's rich tradition of protest music, examining how songs have served as powerful expressions of freedom, justice, and social change. From the earliest women's rights anthems and suffrage songs to the music of second-wave feminism, Roth traces the evolution of songs that challenged inequality before turning to the African American spirituals, abolitionist hymns, and gospel traditions that laid the foundation for the Civil Rights Movement. Along the way, he highlights the contributions of influential artists including Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Erie native Henry "Harry" Burleigh, Odetta, Lead Belly, Pete Seeger, Fannie Lou Hamer, Curtis Mayfield, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, and Billie Holiday, whose iconic recording of Strange Fruit is often regarded as the greatest protest song of all time. Through the stories behind these timeless songs, Roth demonstrates how America's freedom music has inspired generations to demand equality, challenge injustice, and encourage the nation to live up to its highest ideals.

Der Ursprung von «Smoke on the Water» oder der legendäre Auftritt von Nina Simone: Das Montreux Jazz Festival hat viele Geshichten zu erzählen. In der Sendung Treffpunkt schauen wir auf einige der legendärsten Momente zurück. Als Claude Nobs das Montreux Jazz Festival 1967 gründete, ahnte er wohl noch nicht, wie gross der Anlass dereinst werden würde. Stars wie Aretha Franklin, Prince, Radiohead, David Bowie und viele mehr sind in Montreux schon aufgetreten. Allerdings wird das Festival auch immer wieder kritisiert für seine Kommerzialisierung. In der Sendung Treffpunkt hören wir in die legendärsten Auftritte rein und diskutieren, wie sich das Festival im Laufe der Zeit gewandelt hat. Gast: Roman Hosek, SRF-Musikreaktion

Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, the Detroit-born mastermind behind Belle Collective, Love & Marriage: Huntsville, Bold & Bougie, Grown and Gospel, and a long list of other franchises pulls up to set the record straight on the "Black Andy Cohen" comparison, his deep love for music, and why his ear for talent runs in the family (his father played saxophone for The Dramatics before walking away from the road to raise ten kids).   The conversation moves fast and pulls no punches. Carlos relives the now-legendary moment when a young Keyshia Cole cussed him out on a 106 & Park red carpet while he was still a PA reading questions off a producer's clipboard. He breaks down why Keyshia, Tamar Braxton, and Cardi B set the blueprint for using reality television to launch and protect a music career, and names exactly which current artists (Normani, Chloe Bailey, Victoria Monet, Durand Bernarr) he believes should be lacing up their boots for the same play.   Then the gloves come off. Carlos walks us through the rise and stall of The Encore, his beloved BET girl-group experiment that he calls top two of his entire career, lays out the four reasons girl groups can't survive (ego, men, management, work ethic), and shares why Chloe x Halle splitting too early still bothers him. From there he flexes his Mount Rushmore of gospel singers (Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Shirley Caesar, Aretha Franklin), defends Amazing Grace as Aretha's untouchable peak, and explains why he plays gospel every morning without fail. He also weighs in on why he believes today's R&B falls in comparison to the '90s, why too many singers have never set foot in a church, and why he no longer goes to concerts (his words: lip-syncing, no choreography, no production, no Frank Gatson).   Now without further ado, hit that play button and jump into this episode!   We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture.   Special thanks to our We Sound Crazy team!   Director: John Dierre  Camera Op: Josh Sowemimo, James Hart, John Dierre  Sound Mixer: Derrick Chin Editing Team: Hyyer Creative Show Producer: Michael “Roux” Johnson Producer: Aaron Walton, Lamont Baldwin Assistant: Brittany Guydon  Talent Producer: Isaac Hamm III  Photography: Ah'meer Holt  PA: Kaye Brasley, Tony Cole Thank you to all of our listeners, as well as our partners at Visit Music City.   Special thanks to Carlos King!   Subscribe to We Sound Crazy on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere you get your favorite podcast.     Follow We Sound Crazy on Social Media: ~ Facebook: https://wesoundcrazy.ffm.to/wscfacebook ~ Instagram: https://wesoundcrazy.ffm.to/wscinstagram ~ Twitter: https://wesoundcrazy.ffm.to/wsctwitter ~ TikTok: https://wesoundcrazy.ffm.to/wsctiktok   Subscribe to We Sound Crazy on YouTube: https://wesoundcrazy.ffm.to/wscyoutube-subscribe   Visit the official We Sound Crazy website: https://wesoundcrazy.ffm.to/officialwebsite   #WeSoundCrazy #CarlosKing Learn more about your ad choices.

John Cash is back with the most loaded episode of Receipts & Reactions to date — and he's calling it exactly what it is: In A New York State of Mind. In 30 unfiltered minutes, John covers the four stories that broke the culture this week and ties every single one of them back to New York City. CLIVE DAVIS IS DEAD — The Brooklyn-born music mogul who signed Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, TLC, Usher, and Alicia Keys passed away at 94. But the Black community didn't grieve quietly — and John explains exactly why. The "too Black sounding" directive. The Grammy Gala that kept going the night Whitney died in that same hotel. The grief that never went away. John holds the full tension: complicated legacy, documented receipts, no easy answers. CARDI B AND STEFON DIGGS ARE DONE — She confirmed the split. And in the most surprising move of her career, Cardi B — who has shared everything with the public — is saying her next relationship stays completely private. John breaks down what really happened, what the Bronx energy says about how she's handling it, and the full-circle irony that they went public at a Knicks game. TAY KEITH IS GONE AT 29 — The Grammy-nominated Memphis producer behind Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode," Drake's "Nonstop," and Sexyy Red's entire breakout album was found unresponsive in his Nashville apartment on June 18th. Cause of death pending. John pays tribute to a genius who built a body of work most producers never touch in a lifetime — before his 30th birthday. THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS — 53 years. John Cash was in Midtown Manhattan the night Game 5 ended and he's telling you exactly what that felt like. Plus: Jalen Brunson's 45-point masterpiece, the two-million-person Canyon of Heroes parade, Alicia Keys closing the ceremony with "Empire State of Mind," and the viral story of an executive director at JPMorgan Chase who lost her job after stealing a commemorative Knicks trash can, riding the subway home with it, and smiling the whole way. The receipts are verified. The takes are real. The city is in its bag. This episode covers: — Clive Davis death & Whitney Houston legacy — Black community reaction to Clive Davis — Cardi B & Stefon Diggs breakup — Tay Keith death at 29 — New York Knicks 2026 NBA Championship — Jalen Brunson Finals MVP — Knicks Championship Parade — Canyon of Heroes — JPMorgan Chase executive fired after Knicks trash can incident.

Episode 248First Air 06-28-26Trey HedrickPassing Through ShoestringAppalachiaDobbin Mine No.1A Better YearMe Leavin' Town (Fragment)Trey Hedrick is a modern Appalachian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose sound blends Appalachian folk, Americana, and blue-collar country. Deeply rooted in the storied hills of southeastern Ohio along the West Virginia border, his music is as textured and layered as the region he calls home. Drawing from the landscape and lineage that shaped him, Trey writes with a deep reverence for generational memory, places, and the stories that define us.That storytelling comes into full focus on his forthcoming debut album, Sing Appalachia, out Friday, October 17. Recorded in May 2025 at the Tractor Shed in Nashville with GRAMMY-winning producer and engineer Sean Sullivan (Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, John Prine), the record is a testament to Trey's belief in the power of place and honest songwriting. It also features a special guest appearance by one of Trey's longtime heroes, Tim O'Brien — a full-circle moment for an artist who grew up studying his records.Raised in a proud, working-class family where music was as natural as breathing, Trey's earliest memories involve instruments constantly moving through the room — a guitar, a mandolin, a fiddle — always in someone's hands. His grandfather, a retired coal miner and a well-regarded local musician, had “such a rich and textured voice and an ability to make anything his,” Trey recalls. “Don't just play it — mean it, make it yours,” his grandfather would say. That legacy left its mark.Though Trey spent years as a guitarist and mandolin player, it wasn't until recently that he stepped forward as a songwriter and solo artist. “I never wanted to be someone who just talked about doing things and never actually did,” he says. “There were a lot of those guys where I grew up, and it scared the hell out of me.” His songs reflect that urgency and humility — written to feel honest, never traditional just for tradition's sake. “I'm not here to cosplay Appalachia,” he adds. “If it sounds traditional one day and something else the next, that's what came out when I picked up the guitar.”Even as his sound sits comfortably within Appalachian and Americana traditions, there's a subtle freshness to it. Trey developed a deep love for flatpicking early on, drawn to the drive and precision of players like Clarence White, Tony Rice, and Doc Watson. His influences stretch far and wide — from bluegrass trailblazers like Tim O'Brien and Ralph Stanley to the powerhouse blues vocals of Susan Tedeschi, with nods to Aretha Franklin and Bobby Bland, and even ‘90s R&B and hip-hop woven in. “If something swings or grooves a little, that's probably why,” he laughs. “I'd like to think all those influences come across in my debut album — that was kind of the point anyway.

Ginger Zee tracks the severe storms in the Northeast that have more than 60 million under alerts for dangerous thunderstorms, large hail and damaging winds, and Melissa Adan has details on the Los Angeles warehouse fire burning for nearly a week that has triggered air quality concerns; Aaron Katersky reports on the ransom note sent shortly after Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home that claimed she died after her abduction, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News; as tributes pour in for music mogul Clive Davis, who died at age 94, Deborah Roberts looks back at his life and legacy and how he helped iconic artists Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston and others launch their careers; and more on tonight's broadcast of World News Tonight with David Muir.

Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence, I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Drake's simultaneous release of three albums shattered streaming records and pushed him past Michael Jackson's long-standing tally of Billboard Hot 100 #1s for a male solo artist. In this episode we examine the ethics and context of that achievement: is bundling multiple releases at once a form of gaming the charts, or a savvy adaptation to streaming-era consumption? We place Drake's move alongside historical genre monarchs — Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, and T.I. — to ask where Drake fits in the taxonomy of contemporary musical "kings" and "queens." We also consider counterfactuals: had Michael Jackson's estate released multiple albums simultaneously, would the charts tell a different story? We analyze reaction creators from multiple generations who react to classic MJ moments, this episode balances data (chart rules, streaming counts, release strategies) with cultural analysis (legacy, generational access, and how reaction videos reshape listening habits). Listeners will come away with a clearer sense of how chart records are made today and what they mean for artistic legacy.#CrownsAndCharts #DrakeVsMJ #MusicIndustryEthics

My guest this week is NYC-based musician, author, and performance artist Joseph Keckler (NPR's Tiny Desk, tours with Lydia Lunch & Sleater-Kinney), who chose the 1929 two-reeler short St. Louis Blues, which is the legend Bessie Smith's first and only film appearance. We discuss Joseph's iconic performance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series, how he came to unleash his powerful vocal range on a wide range of audiences, choosing to write and sing in German about the adult moments where he was relapsing into a teenage Goth, befriending and touring with Lydia Lunch, Bebe Hansen, the current No-Wave scene in NYC, the excitement of having a standoff with an audience, opening for Sleater-Kinney, confusing but life-altering concert billings, where we both were when first hearing Bessie Smith and the imprint it left on us, why this 1929 short film of Bessie Smith was almost destroyed in the 50s, tape trading with The Residents, hearing Aretha Franklin's voice coming up through the floorboards and being obsessed with Cab Calloway & Bessie Smith as a child, Bessie's acting chops and the unique direction of this performance & more.So let's sing at the top of our lungs into the bottom of our beer mug on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.Joseph will be performing on May 31st 2026 in NYC at TV EYE w/ Genre Is DeathTickets available at tveyenyc.com/calendarJOSEPH KECKLER:josephkeckler.com/BESSIE SMITH in ST.

Creativity through the lens of a musician and songwriter"Being creative is so lucky"Robin Batteau's“Banned in Sparta” is a new collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends: Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester.  Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022.   “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC.  One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.”  James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.”  A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton.  Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane.  Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton. Pianist and folk singer Matt Nakoa offers a Bruce Hornsby-like treatment for Simonides of Ceos's “Theatre of Memory (Man of Gold).”    Sharing Grammy, Emmy, Clio, and Gold Record Awards and an Oscar nomination, Robin's recorded over a dozen albums with Pierce Arrow, David Buskin (Buskin & Batteau), and many others.  His jingles feature in long-running, award-sweeping advertising campaigns from "I'm Lovin' It" for McDonalds to “Can't Beat It” for Coca-Cola to "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. He's played his 1898 Scarampella violin with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma to Benny Goodman to Bruce Springsteen and has had his melodies sung by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, Paul Newman, and more. His songs have supported charities and causes, including World Hunger Year, Ocean Alliance, Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for kids. The Boston Globe defines his music with David Buskin as "Acoustic Heaven."https://robinbatteau.com/https://www.facebook.com/robin.batteauSend us Fan Mail

Patterson Hood grew up in Florence, Alabama — a deeply conservative, Bible Belt town where his father was quietly making history. David Hood was a session bassist for the Muscle Shoals rhythm section, recording with Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, and Wilson Pickett at a time when it wasn't always safe to go to dinner with the artists you were recording with. Patterson learned early not to mention his dad's job at school. When people asked what church his father attended, he changed the subject.Decades later, Patterson co-founded Drive-By Truckers — a band that has spent 25 years wrestling with Southern identity, racism, abuse of power, and what it means to be American. In this conversation, he talks about growing up progressive in the Deep South, why he thinks a Black and white soul band should replace the Confederate flag as the symbol of the South, and what he hopes listeners will make of his songs 20 years from now.
