Podcast appearances and mentions of Emma Swift

On this week's episode JoE Silva spins new indie pop from Autumn Sweater, a brand new single from Nashville's Emma Swift, and we check in with Stockholm's Miynt on her new record.

The inimitable pair join Devalued for an in-depth chat about Tiny Ghost Records and their creative journey.

Today we sadly lost the legendary Marianne Faithfull, so in tribute we are resharing this episode from 2016 with Emma Swift celebrating Faithfull's classic album 'Broken English'.   ---- Queen of the Sadcore Bangers Emma Swift returns to the show to talk about Marianne Faithfull's brittle, confronting classic ‘Broken English'. Faithfull started her career being exploited as a folk-pop starlet, hitting rock bottom with drugs and homelessness and then taking control of her life and identity with this album. Emma and I talk about the cock forrest of the punk / new wave scene, how women are often written out of pop history, the inappropriate way Emma discovered the album, how it's influencing the shift in her music from despair to rage, and more.

How many threads must come together to create a storyteller? In this week's episode of The Artful Periscope, Larry invites returning guest Thomas Maier back onto the show to discuss Mafia Spies, his series for Paramount + and Showtime. Thomas discusses his transition from behind the scenes to an on screen narrator of the production, … Continue reading Episode 90 – How Many Threads Must Come Together to Create a Storyteller?

1967: How I Got There and Why I Never Left (Akashic Books, 2024) explores how that pivotal slice of time tastes to a bright, obsessive-compulsive boy who is shipped off to a hothouse academic boarding school as he reaches the age of thirteen--just as Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited starts to bite, and the Beatles's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band explodes. When he arrives in January 1966, Robyn Hitchcock is still a boy pining for the comforts of home and his family's loving au pair, Teresa. By December 1967, he's mutated into a 6'2? tall rabid Bob Dylan fan, whose two ambitions in life are to get really high and fly to Nashville. In between--as the hippie revolution blossoms in the world outside--Hitchcock adjusts to the hierarchical, homoerotic world of Winchester, threading a path through teachers with arrested development, some oafish peers, and a sullen old maid--a very English freak show. On the way he befriends a cadre of bat-winged teenage prodigies and meets their local guru, the young Brian Eno. At the end of 1967, all the ingredients are in place that will make Robyn Hitchcock a songwriter for life. But then again, does 1967 ever really end? Robyn Hitchcock is a rock 'n' roll surrealist. Born in London in 1953, he describes his songs as "pictures you can listen to." Hitchcock has floated at a tangent to the mainstream for nearly five decades, and his songs have been performed by R.E.M., the Replacements, Neko Case, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Lou Barlow, Grant-Lee Phillips, Sparklehorse, and Suzanne Vega with the Grateful Dead, among others. Hitchcock lives in London with his wife Emma Swift and two cats, Ringo and Tubby. Robyn on Twitter.

The O3L Time Machine has gone berserk...it's landed all the way back in 1967! It's nice here, so we'll stay a while. The love is free, the clothes are groovy, the drugs are psychedelic (but just say no, kids), and the music is jaw-droppingly brilliant! The reason why we've blasted right past our normal era of focus, you ask? Well, it's not every day that we get to welcome living legend, singer, songwriter, guitarist, rock n' roll surrealist - and now author - Robyn Hitchcock to O3L. That particular year is the focus of Robyn's brand new memoir, 1967: How I Got There and Why I Never Left, out now on Little Brown Books (UK) and Akashic Books (US). 1967 explores how that pivotal slice of time tastes to a bright, obsessive-compulsive boy who is shipped off to a hothouse academic boarding school as he reaches the age of 13 - just as Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited starts to bite, and the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper explodes. When he arrives in January 1966, Robyn Hitchcock is still a boy pining for the comforts of home and his family's loving au pair, Teresa. By December 1967, he's mutated into a 6'2" tall rabid Dylan fan, whose two ambitions are to get really high and fly to Nashville (spoiler alert: mission accomplished on both fronts!). In between - as the hippie revolution blossoms in the world outside - Hitchcock adjusts to the hierarchal, homoerotic world of Winchester, threading a path through teachers with arrested development, meatheads, groovers, and a sullen old maid - a very English freak show. On the way he befriends a cadre of bat-winged teenage prodigies and meets their local guru, the young Brian Eno. At the end of 1967, all the ingredients are in place that will make Robyn Hitchcock a songwriter for life. But then again, does 1967 really ever end? Robyn Hitchcock is a master of the absurd, creating "pictures you can listen to" that revel in the beauty of the unexpected. His first publicly visible band, the Soft Boys (1976-81), has remained an influential art-rock touchstone for generations of musicians. With a career spanning nearly five decades, his discography consists of more than 30 albums, including Underwater Moonlight (1980). I Often Dream of Trains (1984), Fegmania! (1985), Globe Of Frogs (1988), Queen Elvis (1989), Perspex Island (1991), Ole! Tarantula (2006), The Man Upstairs (2014), Robyn Hitchcock (2017) and Shufflemania (2022), and classic songs like "I Wanna Destroy You," "My Wife and My Dead Wife," "The Man with the Lightbulb Head," "Heaven," "Balloon Man," "Madonna of the Wasps," "So You Think You're In Love," and so many more. Special thanks to Robyn's wonderful wife Emma Swift, herself a brilliant singer/songwriter...and, it turns out, quite the IT tech; and Holly Watson from Holly Watson PR for the introduction and coordination.

New music from CIVIC, The Rishis and Emma Swift. Plus singer/songwriter Lael Neale rings in to talk about her new album.

Singer/songwriter Emma Swift counts Elvis Costello among her musical heroes and describes his songs as “a gateway into another kind of life”. Emma released Blonde on the Tracks, her acclaimed album of interpretations of Bob Dylan songs in 2020. In 2022, Costello picked out one of those recordings for inclusion on his jukebox for the opening of the Bob Dylan Archive. Emma tells me about receiving the Elvis seal of approval and discusses some of her favourite Costello songs and gigs. Our conversation also takes in the joys of “twangy guitar”, the magic of Nashville and truancy. Follow Emma on Twitterand Instagram and check out her website.

Robyn Hitchcock is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist who led “The Soft Boys” in the late 1970s and released the classic Neo-psychedelic album, “Underwater Moonlight”, which influenced bands such as R.E.M. Robyn also had a successful solo career, with songs like “I Often Dream of Trains”. On this episode, Robyn and Jack talk about Robyn's life and music - and The Beatles!   Check out Robyn's website: https://www.robynhitchcock.com/ Follow Robyn on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RobynHitchcock   Listen to Robyn's new album "Shufflemania": https://open.spotify.com/album/4sJg5nUnMNjzxsGWXcqFy2?si=upx-Dz99QqCiAvP2-m2WiA   If you like this episode, be sure to subscribe to this podcast!

They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.   With a career now spanning six decades, Robyn Hitchcock remains a truly one-of-a-kind artist –surrealist rock 'n' roller, iconic troubadour, guitarist, poet, painter, performer. An unparalleled, deeply individualistic songwriter and stylist, Hitchcock has traversed myriad genres with humor, intelligence, and originality over more than thirty albums and seemingly infinite live performances. From The Soft Boys' proto-psych-punk and The Egyptians' Dadaist pop to solo masterpieces like 1984's milestone I Often Dream of Trains and 1990's Eye, Hitchcock has crafted a strikingly original oeuvre rife with sagacious observation, astringent wit, recurring marine life, mechanized rail services, cheese, Clint Eastwood, and innumerable finely drawn characters real and imagined.    Born in London in 1953, Hitchcock attended Winchester College before moving to Cambridge in 1974. He began playing in a series of bands, including Dennis and the Experts which became The Soft Boys in 1976. Though light years away from first wave punk's revolutionary clatter, the band still manifested the era's spirit of DIY independence with their breakneck reimagining of British psychedelia.  During their (first) lifetime, The Soft Boys released two albums, among them 1980's landmark second LP, Underwater Moonlight. “The term ‘classic' is almost as overused as ‘genius' and ‘influential,'” declared Rolling Stone upon the album's 2001 reissue. “But Underwater Moonlight remains all three of those descriptions.”   Hitchcock embarked on his solo career with 1981's Black Snake Diamond Röle, affirming his knack for eccentric insight and surrealist lyrical hijinks. 1984's I Often Dream Of Trains fused that approach with autumnal acoustic arrangements which served to deepen the emotional range of his songcraft. Robyn Hitchcock and The Egyptians were born that same year and immediately lit up college rock playlists with albums like 1986's Element of Light. He signed to A&M Records in 1987 and earned early alternative hits with “Balloon Man” and “Madonna of the Wasps.” Hitchcock returned to his dark acoustic palette with 1990's equally masterful Eye before joining the Warner Bros. label for a succession of acclaimed albums including 1996's Moss Elixir and 1999's Jewels For Sophia.    Having first reunited for a brief run of shows in 1994, The Soft Boys came together for a second go-around in 2001, this time releasing Nextdoorland to universal applause. Hitchcock joined the Yep Roc label in 2004, embracing collaboration with such friends and like-minded artists as Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings (2004's Spooked) and legendary producer Joe Boyd (2014's The Man Upstairs). Beginning in 2006, Hitchcock released a trio of albums backed by The Venus 3, featuring Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin.    Hitchcock moved to Nashville in 2015 where he quickly found a place among the Music City community, recording 2017's self-titled album Robyn Hitchcock with an array of local talent including co-producer Brendan Benson. In 2019, Hitchcock joined forces with XTC's Andy Partridge for the four-song EP, Planet England. Indeed, Hitchcock has proven an irrepressible collaborator throughout his long career, teaming with a boundless series of fellow artists over the years, including R.E.M., Grant-Lee Phillips, Jon Brion, The Decemberists, Norwegian pop combo I Was A King, Yo La Tengo  to name but a very few.  Along with his musical efforts, Hitchcock has appeared in a number of films, among them collaborations with the late Jonathan Demme on 1998's concert documentary Storefront Hitchcock as well as roles in 2004's The Manchurian Candidate and 2008's Rachel Getting Married.    An inveterate traveler and live performer, Hitchcock has toured near constantly for much of the past four decades, playing countless shows around the world, from Africa to the Arctic. Locked down in Nashville and London by the global pandemic of 2020, Hitchcock and his partner Emma Swift began their Live From Sweet Home Quarantine livestream series, performing weekly sets joined by their two cats, Ringo and Tubby. 2021 saw the publication of Hitchcock's first book, Somewhere Apart: Selected Lyrics 1977-1997, featuring 73 songs and 34 illustrations in a beautiful cloth-bound edition from his own Tiny Ghost Press.   His new album Shufflemania! is out on October 21, 2022 on Tiny Ghost Records. 

Dividing her time between Nashville and London, and originally from Sydney, Australia, the music of Emma Swift has been a balm for me in recent years. Emma's debut album, 2020's Blonde on the Tracks, saw her articulating her depression via the music of Bob Dylan, and I guess extracted a similar sort of comfort from it when I discovered the record last year. I wanted to get her onto the podcast to talk about that record, about mental health, about the crush I have on her husband, Robyn Hitchcock from the Soft Boys. What transpired was a conversation as lovely as her music. I do hope you enjoy this nourishing, enriching conversation with one of my favourite voices in music today.

Enjoy this encore presentation of the podcast with singer/songwriter Emma Swift from August 2020. We will be back with new episodes soon!

Imogen Clark is an outstanding Australian singer/songwriter and not to mention, a robust businesswoman.  Her mark in the entertainment industry is deep and continues to deepen. Imogen has been writing and performing songs since she was fourteen years old, starting out the way most musicians do - in local pubs.  Imogen's inspirations are artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, Gang of Youths, and Phoebe Bridgers.  Imogen has toured across Europe, the US, the UK, and across Australia. She has collaborated with artists such as Alex Lahey, Clare Bowen, Emma Swift, Anita Lester, Colin Hay, Taylor Goldsmith, Jason Boesel, Tom Petty, Pete Thomas. She has supported Shania Twain and has worked with Mark Lizotte (Johnny Deisel) who also produced her 2018 album Collide.  A hard-working and passionate artist, don't look away for even a minute.  In the episode we discuss everything from our dogs (sorry), the havoc the pandemic has wreaked on the entertainment industry, her family's response when she told them straight out of Year 12 that she was going to pursue music as a career, living in the Blue Mountains, the sincerity of writing music from the perspective of a third person, her identity as an artist, where to draw inspiration from when you can't travel, the struggle of women in maintaining their relevance in the entertainment industr, using your name as your brand (as a result of this conversation I got the guts to use my own name on this podcast) and yeah basically everything, we covered everything. And I might just go and try a soy latte with honey tomorrow.  Find Imogen on socials @imogen__clark  Enjoy the show,  X JB 

In 2020, Australian singer-songwriter Emma Swift released an album of Bob Dylan covers called Blonde On The Tracks. She never intended to release the covers when she started recording them a few years ago, and only started to entertain the idea when COVID hit and her touring income dried up. The fact that the album has garnered Emma worldwide acclaim is just another twist in a career full of them. In some ways that career began when she was a music-loving kid growing up in rural Australia, before she moved to Sydney and started played in pubs and clubs. In 2013 she moved again, this time to Nashville to pursue music full time, and she's been there ever since. We talk about that journey in this interview, as well as Emma's love of Bob Dylan, her earliest musical memories and much more.

Double J's Zan Rowe and music journalist and novelist Barry Divola join Kate and Cassie as they talk music in books, focusing on Dawnie Walton's The Final Revival of Opal and Nev and Patti Smith's Just Kids (with bookish recommendations from musicians Amy Shark, Robert Forster and Emma Swift)

Emma Swift has told Deborah Knight she was forced to postpone her tour after her band became stuck in Melbourne.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're joined by the legendary British singer/songwriter Robyn Hitchcock, frontman for late 1970s art punk band, The Soft Boys, and the leader of his own band, Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians. Crucial matters discussed include: transitioning from frontman of a punk band to leader of of his own project to traveling acoustic troubadour over the course of his career; opening for R.E.M. on tour during their explosion into megastardom; the artistic perils of a "major label record deal"; working with the late director, Jonathan Demme, on the performance film, Storefront Hitchcock; the glory days of American college radio; and so much more. 

This week we're talking with https://www.emmaswift.com/ (Emma Swift), a Nashville-by-way-of-Australia singer-songwriter who garnered some serious attention last year with her release of https://emmaswift.bandcamp.com/album/blonde-on-the-tracks (Blonde On The Tracks). We were excited to talk to Emma as a follow-up to our recent newsletter piece highlighting an atypical release strategy -- one that does NOT involve releasing songs to streaming platforms on the official release date. Emma breaks down her impetus for doing a "physical or download-only" release, how the plan was formed, and touches on all of the moving parts of her release cycle. She'll also provide some advice to developing artists on how to approach your next release. As promised in the outro of the podcast, here's info on Emma's team that worked this release: UK publicist: Rachel Silver - https://silverpr.co.uk/about/ (https://silverpr.co.uk/about/) US publicist: Ken Weinstein - https://www.bighassle.com/ (https://www.bighassle.com) US radio promo: Brad Paul - http://www.bradpaulmedia.com/ (http://www.bradpaulmedia.com) Distribution: http://www.thinkindie.com/ (ThinkIndie) in the US; https://www.thegroovemerchants.com/ (MGM Planet) in Australia.  Emilee Warner helped manage my campaign for four months. She was particularly good at Nashville related hookups: advertising on Lightning100, a mural at Grimey's, booking Blackbird for a live stream.

The Outpost celebrates Bob Dylan's 80th Birthday with a special virtual tribute fundraising show, featuring a range of great artists interpreting Dylan's songs. We spoke with Emma Swift, who recently released her own tribute album BLONDE ON THE TRACKS, about Dylan's ongoing influence. Episode includes a clip of Emma's performance of "Visions of Johanna."

This week's Planet X is presented by Dr Gonzo and features rare & obscure songs by Elle King, The Wallbangers, The Lost Ragas, Johnny Cash, The Minus 5, Scott Walker, Emma Swift, Nick Cave and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Join Nick as he talks to singer/songwriter, Emma Swift. They talk about her move from Australia to Nashville, doing online shows with Robyn Hitchcock, thrifting, songwriting and her new album of Bob Dylan covers entitled "Blonde on the Tracks." Great conversation and fascinating person.

Photo by Rob Youngson This week we’re continuing the Definitely Dylan tradition of doing a special episode dedicated to International Women’s Day. These are episodes that are very important to me because, even though the fight for women’s equality is a struggle that continues throughout the year, I like taking this opportunity to highlight the role of women in the world of Bob Dylan. This is a space that is still male-dominated, but women have played decisive roles as collaborators, scholars, fans, and interpreters of Bob Dylan’s work.This year, I’m very proud to bring you an episode with some Bob Dylan covers that were almost all exclusively recorded for Definitely Dylan by wonderfully talented female artists. I love their interpretations so much, and I know you will too!Playlist:Don’t Think Twice (It’s All Right) - Michele StodartIf You Gotta Go, Go Now* - Annie Needham (Definitely Dylan Basement Tapes)The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll - Angela Gannon (Definitely Dylan Basement Tapes)One More Cup Of Coffee (The Valley Below) - Ren HarvieuMama You Been On My Mind - Naomi In BlueI Made Up My Mind To Give Myself To You - Emma Swift (Live at Grimey’s in Nashville, September 2020)Please check out these artists’ work and support them:You can stay up to date and support Michele Stodart’s work on her Patreon page, and you can listen to her first two solo records on Spotify.Find Annie Needham’s band Big Peyote on Spotify and instagram.Catch Angela Gannon on tour with The Magic Numbers in the UK this autumn.Ren Harvieu is on Instagram and you can ilsten to her brilliant album Revel In The Drama on Spotify.Listen to (and buy) Naomi in Blue’s excellent EP An Experiment on Bandcamp Should you not yet own Emma Swift’s beautiful album of Bob Dylan albums, Blonde On The Tracks, you can rectify this on her bandcamp, and you can also stay up to date with her upcoming projects on her Patreon page.Here’s the Spotify Playlist of Bob Dylan covers by female artists that I made last year:* Since we recorded this, I’ve thought quite a bit about the song “If You Gotta Go, Go Now”, which Annie Needham is singing so brilliantly here. I love her version because it’s deadpan, yet funny and lighthearted. When she sings it it’s flirty and, as I called it in the episode, cheeky. But I also think this song is very much of its time, and the lyrics, especially when sung by a man, can at times be perceived as pushy or even coercive, which is played for laughs in Dylan’s version, but consent is actually serious and crucial. There’s a lot more to this conversation, but it was just important to me, especially in the context of an episode for IWD, to clarify that this is not a topic that should be taken lightly.

In episode 148 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed considering what makes a professional photographic practice, the importance of reading to photography, making friends and what a small world the photographic world is. Plus this week photographer Hugh Hales-Tooke takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which he answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' Hugh Hales-Tooke studied painting at art school before completing an MFA in 1981 at Syracuse University, New York. After graduating, he moved to New York and found work as a photo assistant, which is when he began learning about photography. In 1989 he returned to England to find work as a photographer and was hired by the designer Paul Smith. He worked for Paul Smith for several seasons in the 1990s photographing his main clothing collection as well as additional projects in Japan.

Americana, Roots, Country, Folk and Acoustic music. New and Classic tracks.Episode includes music by Bruce Springsteen, Jason Isbell, Emma Swift, Laura Marling and Ben Glover.

We’re on a break at the moment but I thought it would be interesting to revisit this episode from four years ago, our end of the year 2016 wrap up, featuring a bunch of different interviews touching on the big stories in music of the year, including the traumatic aftershock of the US election and the creeping dread of the incoming Trump administration, and the realisation that 2017 maybe was going to be getting worse not better. Thankfully I feel like we’re coming out of this particular hell year of 2020 with a more optimistic outlook on the next year, so I’m posting this today as a way of reflecting to some extent on the horrors of the last half decade and also a feeling that we might be turning at least one page onto a better future now... ------- 10 conversations about the highs and lows of music in 2016: Emmy winner Jeff Greenstein (Friends, Will & Grace) on when David Bowie guest starred on his first TV sitcom. How Melbourne indie soul band Cookin’ on 3 Burners had a smash hit on the French dance charts with a seven year old song. Americana singer/songwriter Melody Pool on finding her way back to her darkest emotional places to write her stellar album Deep Dark Savage Heart.  ARIA-nominee Lisa Mitchell on struggling with how to listen to music in the modern age. Nashville-based Aussie ex-pat Emma Swift on being artistically radicalised by the election of Donald Trump. Filmmaker Brian Koppelman (Billions, Rounders, Ocean’s 13) on what music to listen to to get through the Trump blues, and what to expect from music in the coming years. Crowded House guitarist/keyboardist Mark Hart on the inside story of their triumphant reunion shows at the Sydney Opera House forecourt.  You Am I guitarist Davey Lane on a year of playing with his living heroes and paying tribute to his dead ones.  Singer/songwriter Alex Lahey on writing some of the year’s best songs for her debut EP and what to expect from her imminent debut album.  Host Jeremy Dylan reveals his 10 favorite albums of 2016. 

Emma Swift is an ARIA nominated singer, songwriter and performer now based in Nashville. During Covid-19 Emma had 150 live events cancelled but rather than sit around she recorded and released a critically acclaimed album of Bob Dylan covers called Blond on the Tracks. Emma talks to me about resilience, possibility, optimism , Bob Dylan, the music industry and the rise in traditional album sales in 2020. Her new music is streaming from Dec 9th 2020.

"Don't Let People Mess With You" Self empowerment isn’t easy. We tend to think of other people and how they’ll receive us so we try to mold our responses and desires to that expectations. But by doing that, we forget about one thing; ourselves. It’s true. You can go a whole lifetime forgetting that what you feel is important. So, the basic punk rock version of empowerment is this. Don’t let people mess with you. And if they do, mess with them right back. Nobody can mess with Imogen Clark. Not anymore. The Australian singer songwriter has felt that over the course of her career she was carrying out an image of what other people expected of her and the fact is, she got sick of it. Imogen starting playing gigs in bars at 13, so it’s understandable that someone so young could get caught up in catering to what other people thought she could be artistically, but by 25 she’d had enough. Nothing like romantic wreckage, stoning self doubt and artistic frustration to make someone state themselves down and take ownership of what happens next. And that’s what Imogen Clark did. Weathering all those storms, taught Imogen something. She could do it. And if she could do it she could do a nothing. and so she did. Her new EP The Making of Me is an exhilarating rebirth of an artist whose taken command of her career and is burning with confidence. Imogen clark is no longer feeling artistic claustrophobia. She’s staring at the open road and she’s pushing the petal to the floor. And it sounds awesome. In this conversation she talks to Alex about taking command of her life, her love of Gang Of Youths and her friendship with Emma Swift. She also talks about her bold new rebirth, gives a little relationship advice and talks about life during lockdown….

From the first time she ever put a Kylie Minogue cassette in her pink Sony stereo, Australia native Emma Swift has been a music obsessive. Her songwriting prowess brought her to Nashville in 2013 and she recently dropped the terrific LP Blonde On The Tracks, an album of Bob Dylan covers ranging from 1965's "Queen Jane Approximately" all the way to this year's "I Contain Multitudes" (which Dylan released as a single only just a few months ago), backed up by partner Robyn Hitchcock and Wilco's Pat Sansone. On this episode, Emma talks about Gram Parsons being a sort of "gateway drug" to country music, splurging on 7" Smiths singles while in Japan and why her dad was "a record collector's worst nightmare." Follow her on socials @emmaswiftsings, and get Blonde On The Tracks digitally or on vinyl from emmaswift.bandcamp.com.

We delve into how the project came to be, how each song was chosen, the different challenges in recording obscure and well known Dylan songs, why ‘I Contain Multitudes’ forced her to learn to record at home during lockdown so she could add it to the record, lyrical pronouns and subverting gender norms, how to cast songs for her voice, recording the album in the city where Dylan cut some of his own masterworks and much more. Songs discussed include Queen Jane Approximately, I Contain Multitudes, One Of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later), Simple Twist of Fate, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, The Man in Me, Going Going Gone, You’re A Big Girl Now

Episode 139: Reaction to Joshua Ray Walker's debut album was as strong and swift as any to come along in country music and Texas songwriting in quite a while. But the Dallas native had been working stages nightly for ten years by the time the world paid attention. He was ready to follow up fast and he did so to great acclaim on 2020's Glad You Made It. This self-assured, thoughtful artist has a lot to say. Also in the hour, we meet Australian emigre to Nashville Emma Swift, whose new collection of Bob Dylan covers is quite special.

Seguimos anticipando el que será nuevo trabajo de Charley Crockett, Welcome To Hard Times, octavo álbum del músico de San Benito. Esta vez es una comparación entre los artistas y los caballos de carreras a través de "Run Horse Run". Lo hace con la mirada de un trovador robusto que recuerda con nostalgia ciertas tradiciones de antaño y que resucita también su diversidad étnica familiar que le emparenta con criollos, negros, judíos y el mismísimo Davy Crockett. En su única visita a España por el momento, Charley Crockett nos contó personalmente sobre cómo ha abrazado toda esa versatilidad y como su afección cardiaca congénita ha marcado su percepción de casi todo. Y ahora lo expresa con un modelo casi cinematográfico con ciertos toques góticos. Mientras esperamos el nuevo trabajo de otro de nuestros cowboy singers favoritos, Colter Wall, hemos encontrado al músico de Saskatchewan al lado del tejano Vincent Neil Emerson, nativo de Fort Worth, y capaz de abrirse camino en los últimos tiempos como telonero de Turnpike Troubadours o American Aquarium y otros nombres más importantes en los últimos años. Criado en el condado de Van Zandt, al este del Lone Star State, por una madre soltera de ascendencia Choctaw-Apache, se fue de casa a los 16 años para dedicarse a la música. Estuvo girando junto a Colter Wall e Ian Noe, lo que le inspiró para componer “Road Runner” que ahora ha compartido con el primero de ellos en un dúo impagable que grabaron hace un año, cuando el canadiense se acercó a Texas para tocar en el célebre picnic del 4 de julio de Willie Nelson. Pudiera parecer que Mark Knopfler hubiera sido invitado a participar en este "Cupboard", uno de los cortes más inspirados de Glad You Made It, el nuevo álbum de Joshua Ray Walker, que debutó el pasado año con Wish You Were Here, muy por encima de lo que suele ser un disco de presentación. Era un trabajo muy personal mediatizado por el cáncer que le habían diagnosticado a su padre. A este músico de Dallas al que le gusta acurrucarse en las profundidades del country blues. Ha madurado en muy poco tiempo y sus nuevas canciones profundizan en desarrollar sus cualidades aprendidas por una larga experiencia sobre los escenarios, también como miembro de Ottoman Turks, un cuarteto tejano que le ha permitido aumentar el nivel y la musicalidad. Mile Twelve es un quinteto con una flexibilidad musical a toda prueba, partiendo de las raíces del bluegrass, que sigue siendo un estilo seminal y propicio para realizar experimentos sonoros. Roll the Tapes All Night Long es un título perfecto para describir un álbum lleno de energía capaz de capturar esa tradición a través de seis versiones. Cuando escuchamos cómo se han recreado en “Whiskey Trail”, un tema que Los Lobos incluyeron originalmente en su álbum Kiko de 1992, pero que Mile Twelve han llevado a los terrenos de Old and In The Way, Grateful Dead y Newgrass Revival, mezclados con la voz de Nate Sabat. Hill Country se ha convertido en una de las bandas más recomendables con su álbum de debut, de título homónimo que viaja por las colinas del country que se reparten por distintos paisajes de estados tan representativos como California, Tennessee, Georgia o Texas, donde han grabado este trabajo que evidencian sus inclinaciones por las formas de SteelDrivers, Michael Martin Murphey o Jerry Jeff Walker. Uno de los momentos más sugestivos es "Dixie Darlin’”, con ecos de veteranos trovadores del Lone Star State. El cantautor Matthew Szlachetka ha escrito una carta de amor a la ciudad de Los Ángeles en "Lifeboat". Esa es la ciudad donde él mismo ha vivido durante años y de la que ha absorbido las esencias de un folk-rock que se desgrana por las canciones que conforman su tercer álbum, Young Heart, Old Soul. Es un tema sobre dejar tu zona de confort para iniciar una nueva senda, la que el mismo está experimentando tras mudarse a Nashville, donde ha grabado junto al productor Scott Underwood, socio fundador de Train. Una vez más, estamos ante una llamada a la unidad de las personas, a los viajes emocionales. Young Heart, Old Soul es un álbum cálido y personal en el que parece caber todo el mundo con la mirada puesta en el futuro. La última vez que vimos a Ted Russell Kamp fue como bajista de la banda de Shooter Jennings y nos prometió novedades personales. El músico lanzará el próximo viernes Down In The Den, que tiene que ver con el nombre de su propio estudio de grabación, un lugar que le “ha salvado la vida” en esta etapa de confinamiento. “Have Some Faith” es un tema con tintes de country blues que el músico neoyorquino compuso junto a Matt Szlachetka y que grabaron juntos en el estudio de Ted. Es una de esas muestras evidentes de que es lógico que sea un músico y compositor en el que siempre se puede confiar. Eilen Jewell, una de las mejores representantes de los últimos años de ese término llamado Americana, en el que se refugian los estilos básicos de la música popular, parece romper esa extraña tradición que aleja en cierta forma a las mujeres de las canciones de la Creedence Clearwater Revival. Desde luego, salvo honrosas excepciones, como Emmylou Harris, no es muy habitual que ellas canten al grupo californiano. Eilen Jewell es una cantautora jovial y positiva nacida en Boise, en Idaho, que aprovechando estos tiempos de pandemia y alejamiento ha querido recordar sus veranos pasados en el Green River Festival, que se celebra anualmente en Greenfield, Massachusetts, grabando esta versión de “Green River”. Aquella canción de John Fogerty dio nombre al tercer Lp de Creedence Clearwater Revival, allá por 1969, y tiene que ver con un lugar donde Fogerty solía ir de niño en Putah Creek, cerca de Winters, en California. El nombre de "Green River", lo tomó, al parecer, de la etiqueta de una botella de gaseosa con sabor a lima. Con la sensación de que es un impasse debido a esta situación provocada por la pandemia, Molly Tuttle va a publicar un álbum de versiones que abarcan desde los Rolling Stones a Harry Styles, pasando por The National o Cat Stevens. También ha escogido un tema de Grateful Dead como “Standing on the Moon”, que formó parte de Built to Last, el último disco de estudio de la banda californiana allá por 1989. Molly grabó las canciones en su casa y se las envió al productor Tony Berg, que reclutó a algunos músicos de sesión para que añadieran instrumentos desde sus propios hogares. También pudo contar con los apoyos vocales de Ketch Secor de Old Crow Medicine Show y de Taylor Goldsmith de Dawes. A este último podemos oírle en esta canción de los Dead. Refugiarse en las canciones en las que siempre se puede confiar ha sido una de las reglas no escritas de este tiempo de pandemia. Y han sido muchos los artistas que han aprovechado en confinamiento para recrearse en grandes clásicos incuestionables. Emma Swift es uno de estos casos. La artista australiana residente en East Nashville ha completado el álbum Blonde on the Tracks, una reinvención de canciones de Bob Dylan que se publicará a mediados de agosto. El trabajo empezó a gestarse hace tres años, pero quedó incompleto y ahora era el mejor momento para terminarlo. Las canciones de Dylan, además, siempre han sido una buena manera de enfrentarse a los momentos difíciles. “Queen Jane Approximately” es la canción de apertura de Blonde On The Tracks con una tonalidad de folk rock muy propia de la mitad de los 60. Precisamente pertenece en origen al álbum de Dylan de 1965 Highway 61 Revisited. Una canción con ciertos tintes de misterio sobre su protagonista y que el bardo nunca cantó en directo hasta un concierto con Grateful Dead celebrado más de 20 años después de grabarla y que quedó reflejada en el álbum Dylan & The Dead. Michaela Anne, la artista del barrio neoyorquino de Brooklyn con residencia en Nashville, sigue siendo una de nuestras favoritas desde que la conocimos acompañando a su buen amigo Sam Outlaw en una de sus visitas a España. Tras el éxito del álbum Desert Dove durante el pasado año, hemos conocido muy recientemente una nueva canción, "Good Times", que aporta un toque positivo al momento actual. De nuevo Sam Outlaw está a su lado en esa aventura de ampliar horizontes estilísticos. Demasiado mediatizado por el complicado divorcio de Natalie Maines, The Chicks han publicado este pasado viernes Gaslighter, su primer álbum en 14 años, que ha contado con la producción de Jack Antonoff, también demasiado mediatizado por su trabajo junto a Taylor Swift o Lana del Rey. El resultado es un trabajo cuya consistencia se focaliza en los ataques enfurecidos de Natalie a su ex pareja, el actor Adrian Pasdar, pasando por encima de todo lo demás. Eso no parece hacer ningún favor a una de las formaciones femeninas más consistentes de los 90 y 2000. El álbum estaba planeado para cumplir su contrato con el sello Sony de una forma sencilla. De hecho, pensaban reunir distintas versiones. Pero llegó el divorcio y todo cambió. Gaslighter tiene textos tan poderosos como “March March” o “Julianna Calm Down”, con letras explícitas, y canciones como “Sleep at Night” hablar sobre dejar a un marido infiel que tiene una doble vida. 2020 está siendo un mal año para todos y de forma muy especial para la ciudad de Nashville, que sufrió un tornado mortal en marzo y que ha visto cómo le seguía la pandemia del coronavirus. Miranda Lambert ha querido que su nuevo single "Dark Bars" refleje la dependencia de la cultura de la vida nocturna de la conexión humana. Los bares cerrados, los taburetes y las sillas sobre las mesas vacías, los escenarios sin músicos son una especie de corazón sin latido. Hoy queremos cerrar el tiempo de TOMA UNO con la esperanza de que todo volverá, de la misma forma que se ha reconstruido el Basement East de Nashville, que quedó arrasado por el tornado hace unos meses.

In a moment of history where pissed off women are rising up, Queen of the Sadcore Bangers Emma Swift returns to the show to talk about Marianne Faithfull's brittle, confronting classic 'Broken English'. Faithfull started her career being exploited as a folk-pop starlet, hitting rock bottom with drugs and homelessness and then taking control of her life and identity with this album. Emma and I talk about the cock forrest of the punk / new wave scene, how women are often written out of pop history, the inappropriate way Emma discovered the album, how it's influencing the shift in her music from despair to rage, and more.

I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with the amazing Robyn Hitchcock, one of my all-time favorite songwriters. This was originally posted back in October, but I cleaned up the sound, and I remembered to put the Emma Swift song at the end that I talked about and then completely failed to include the first time. Robyn and Emma were such generous and lovely people. Be sure to check them out live when you can, and look for Robyn's eponymous album available from Yep Roc April 21st. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
