Bobby also explains why “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” still gets him emotional, the duet that helped pull him back into country music, and why “Whiskey Lullaby” takes the top spot. Then Bobby brings Eddie in to get his reaction and give his most memorable country duets of all-time! Watch The BobbyCast on Netflix!

Melissa Etheridge called into The Preston & Steve Show to discuss her latest studio album Rise. She is also going on the "Raised on Radio" tour with a stop at Longwood Gardens on September 2nd. She talked about returning to songwriting after nearly a decade, staying out of her own way creatively, and writing deeply personal songs inspired by both lifelong dreams and heartbreaking loss. Melissa also shared stories about her connection to Johnny Cash, collaborating with Chris Stapleton, her thoughts on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and why inspiring people through her music has always been her ultimate goal.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Twenty-five years is a long time to stay ahead in electronic music, especially considering how quickly genres mutate and scenes evolve and collapse. So I sat down with North Carolina-born beatmaker Travis Stewart, better known as the inimitable Machinedrum, to ask what his secret is.Across records like Room(s), Vapor City and now the new mini-album BL00MS, Stewart has melded influences like jungle, footwork, UK bass, ambient, juke, techno, hip-hop and R&B into his own distinctive sound, and always managed to sound fresh and exciting. Along the way, there have been collaborations with Azealia Banks, A$AP Ferg, Tinashe, Dawn Richard and Hudson Mohawke, plus an insane catalogue of remixes: Solange, Boards Of Canada, The Glitch Mob, Bonobo and Johnny Cash (yes — THE Johnny Cash).We talk about the cities that shaped him, from North Carolina to New York to three formative years in Berlin. We unpack how “gateway” sounds can lead people into deeper listening (and possibly — begrudgingly on both our parts — how brostep may have acted as a catalyst for deeper listening), and how he's kept his work connected to his root influences without getting trapped by any one lane.The second half goes deep on independence and the modern music business. BL00MS is his first self-released project after years with Ninja Tune, and he's thinking hard about direct-to-fan release strategies, touring systems, and treating streaming like marketing rather than a lifeline. We also get into authenticity on social media, how to promote music without turning it into a clown show, and why self-imposed limitations inside Ableton Live can be the difference between endless tweaking and finishing a record.So, it's great to be back. Lost and Sound is now monthly. I started making episodes way back in 2018, and it's gone on a real journey since then. Now totally independent, I rely on listeners like you to help keep the project growing.If you enjoyed the episode, follow Lost and Sound on Substack and me on Instagram, subscribe to the RSS Feed, and share the episode with someone who'd be into it. Independent journalism and independent podcasting still run on word of mouth.BL00MS on Bandcamp.

David Senra: Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Rick Rubin grew up on Long Island obsessed with music — arena rock at 13, punk by high school, then hip-hop when it was still a street movement you could only hear at one club in New York City. The records coming out didn't sound like the club. They were made by professionals who didn't go to the club. So at 18, while a freshman at NYU, he made one himself — "It's Yours" with T La Rock. It sold 100,000 copies in 18 months. He put his dorm room address on the sleeve. This launched Def Jam Recordings. LL Cool J's first record came next. The Beastie Boys after that. His credit on those records didn't say "produced by." It said "reduced by" — a theological statement as much as a job title. His method has never changed: strip everything down until what remains has no place to hide, then protect whatever magic appears. He's applied it to Jay-Z, Johnny Cash, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, The Strokes, Metallica, Kanye West, Tom Petty, and many other top artists.  He describes himself as a lazy workaholic. The Zen exterior is real. So is the guy who spent the first 25 years of his career in a dark room 16 hours a day, seven days a week, waiting for a miracle to show up.

"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."

"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."

"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."

Hello and welcome back to All One Song, a Neil Young podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with your host Tyler Wilcox. We've covered a lot of Shakey ground so far during seasons one and two, leaping from decade to decade, from era to era, from album to album. It's easy to do when you're dealing with a body of work that is so vast, spanning 60 years now. But somehow, we've yet to talk about any songs from Zuma. Neil fanatics — like our hero — can be an ornery, contrarian bunch. It would be tough to get them to agree on anything. But I think I'm safe in saying that everyone loves Zuma. If you don't … well, you're crazier than Crazy Horse.   Here to help us unpack "Barstool Blues," one of the album's high points, is Matt Sweeney. Sweeney is one of those guys who is impossible to sum up. He's a musician who has been a part of so many great bands, projects and records over the years — Superwolf, Chavez, Guided by Voices, the Hard Quartet, Iggy Pop, Current 93, Cass McCombs, Andrew WK … the list goes on and on. He's a consummate collaborator, perhaps the only person alive to have played with both Johnny Cash and Endless Boogie…with both the Dixie Chicks and Baby Dee … with both Adele and Six Organs of Admittance. Matt also hosts the excellent Guitar Moves web series, which gets into fascinating discussions with a wide array of guitarists. Definitely dial it up when you get a chance; even if you don't play, it is always a blast. So pull up a stool and belly up, here's Matt Sweeney on "Barstool Blues."

Jon goes solo with a blunt, unfiltered episode from the middle of rice-planting chaos: work exhaustion, hunting talk, sponsor shoutouts, gear drama, and his "Johnny Cash" theory about fandom and hoarding. He also covers conservation efforts, worries about Oregon hunting restrictions, military pride, and what it really means to be a rice farmer and hunter.

We've got ourselves a musical breadcrumb trail show featuring songs connected by titles, themes, characters, occupations, relationships, Cajun culture, tattoos, grace, summer romance, and a healthy dose of American eccentricity. We'll be taking our journey from country to rockabilly, some Howlin' Wolf, classic doo-wop, folk, gospel, swamp pop, and everything in between. It's a scenic route through a century of American music. Starting with John Prine's "Nine Pound Hammer," we'll follow a trail that winds through the Louvin Brothers, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, The Band, Johnny Cash, John Lee Hooker, Sam Cooke, and many others. Join us for another Friday morning two hours winding through the back roads. Because that's where the roots run deepest. 

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

We join Jon as he negatives through the Boston Airport to talk about The Mekon's new album HORROR and HORRORble the Dub companion album!   Mekons, who will be celebrating their 50th year in 2027, will be touring in support of the upcoming re-release of their 2025 album HORROR on June 12 in conjunction with a an entire new album of Dub remixes, entitled HORRORble (mekons Vs.

Among Langford's musical side projects have been the Three Johns (with John Hyatt and John (Phillip) Brennan), who released several albums of drum-machine-fueled punk in the 1980s; the country-punk Waco Brothers (with Dean Schlabowske, Tracey Dear, Alan Doughty, Mark Durante, and Mekons drummer Steve Goulding), who have been recording since 1995; the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, a revolving assortment of Chicago musicians who have backed both Langford and other musicians such as Kelly Hogan; and Ship and Pilot. He became a father figure to the local music scene, encouraging many of his labelmates on Bloodshot Records and championing anyone he thought worthy of scrutiny, often lending his services as a musician or visual artist or inviting local musicians to guest on his releases. Langford's first official solo album, Skull Orchard, a look back at his hometown of Newport, Wales, was released in 1998. He followed it with All the Fame of Lofty Deeds, in 2004, Gold Brick in 2006, and Old Devils in 2010. Langford is an accomplished artist and is renowned for his multi-layered paintings of famous and forgotten figures from the dawn of country music. Nashville Radio, a collection of his artwork and writings, was published in 2006. In January and February 2009, Chicago's Walkabout Theater Company and Collaboraction premiered a stage adaptation of Langford's Goldbrick that featured a live band, two actors and video projections. In November and December 2009, The House Theatre of Chicago staged a production of “All the Fame of Lofty Deeds”, written by rock journalist Mark Guarino and based on Langford's art and 2004 solo album. Collaborations with other musicians Langford initiated a project, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, which performs the music of other country music groups. Several alternative country musicians have guested on these recordings. Langford has guested on numerous recordings, including with Dutch punk band the Ex, The Old 97s, Chip Taylor, as well as Austin, Texas legend Alejandro Escovedo, and has recorded joint albums with Sally Timms, Kevin Coyne, Richard Buckner, Kat Ex and Rosie Flores.

Remembering country music. Why do people fight so crazy nowadays? Anger at home and in schools. Drop anger: drop "you."

Lieder leben, Lieder sterben, das möchte wohl keiner bestreiten. Falls aber doch, postulieren wir das einfach mal. Wenn das also unsere Annahme ist, können wir wohl auch annehmen, dass jedes Lied irgendwann noch einmal wiedergeboren werden möchte. Je häufiger, desto besser, denn umso mehr lebt es. Manche Lieder haben Glück und landen bei Sinéad O'Connor, Aretha Franklin oder Johnny Cash. Andere landen bei Esel. Das Cover ist nicht das Lied. Es ist ein anderes, oft merkwürdiges Wesen. Es steht vor dem Original und sagt: „Hallo, ich bin du, aber anders.“ Vielleicht sagt es auch: „Ich bin besser, ich stehe ja auf deinen riesigen Schultern.“ Oder es sagt gar nichts, obwohl es eigentlich nur „Bitte verzeih mir, ich wollte dich nicht beleidigen!“ hätte sagen sollen. In dieser Folge widmen sich Esel und Teddy der Kunst des schlechten Coverns. Also jener Kunstform, bei der man ein bekanntes Lied nicht zerstört, sondern nur so weit beschädigt, dass jemand anderes noch erraten kann, was es früher einmal war. Esel spielt Akkorde. Teddy erkennt Lieder. Oder erkennt zumindest die Absicht hinter den Akkorden. Das ist vielleicht noch schwieriger. Am Ende bleibt die Erkenntnis: Auch ein schlechtes Cover ist eine Wiedergeburt. Nur eben eine, bei der der Arzt kurz das Zimmer verlässt.

Roll down the windows and put that pedal to the metal because we've got two hours of wild rhythms and deep cuts this coming Friday. We'll be digging into those slap-back echo, train-beat rhythms and wild-eyed energy of rockabilly music — that explosive blend of country, blues, boogie and early rock 'n' roll that rattled America in the 1950s and helped redraw the cultural map for a generation of teenagers looking for something loud, fast and a little dangerous. Now sure, everybody knows the giants — Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis — but tonight's show leans into the side roads and back highways of rockabilly history. Alongside a few familiar names, we'll spend two hours with the obscure cats, regional stars, one-hit wonders and forgotten firebrands producing some of the wildest sounds ever pressed onto vinyl. From Sonny Fisher and Ronnie Self to Roy Duke, Sonny Burgess, Johnny Garner and Laura Lee Perkins, this is the sound of American youth culture before it was polished, corporate or safe.

Matt Maher steps into the BlurryCon 3 spotlight and connects dots most people never see. The Grammy-nominated artist behind "Lord I Need You" reveals the story behind his fascinating life and the blurry thread running through it all. From a charismatic grandmother in Newfoundland who prayed in tongues and warned him about fairies to holding a stone from the cave of St. Michael the Archangel and watching a room flood with unexplainable white light. Matt connects creativity, consecrated land, and the thin veil between heaven and earth. Matt walks through the story of writing his song "Only Good Will Grow" on his first night in a house next to Johnny Cash's old Hendersonville property. Cash told a grieving Roy Orbison that only good would grow on that land. When the families lost ownership, everything died. When a Catholic priest came and blessed the ground, everything came back. Matt talks about how Diana Pasulka's research confirmed what he always felt as a songwriter. Songs arrive like downloads from somewhere beyond the veil. He lands on the connection between sound and light on the same spectrum and delivers a line that will stay with you. When God said, "Let there be light," the Logos was moving so fast that it turned into the visible spectrum. A sunset is a song. He talks about quantum retrocausality, how forgiveness might not be a metaphor, and the blood of Jesus might actually move backward through time. Matt makes a compelling case that the Christian life was always meant to be blurry and that wonder is not the enemy of responsibility.

"This is a requested topic from a friend. He wondered if we had ever discussed steel drums. We had not so we did a show. We have some history and some discussion of tuning and prices. There are also a lot of songs that use the steel drum you may not have noticed before."

This week, Justin and Bec put on their dancing shoes and boogie back to the week of June 5, 1976 (just a hair under 50 years ago) to see what was happening in the world of American music and where Elvis' latest single "Hurt/For the Heart" ranked on the pop, easy listening and rock charts, before delving into what surrounded "Hurt" as it reached its highest peak at #6 on the Country chart - and RCA's Elvis compilation "Sun Sessions" was nearing the top of the country LP chart, too! What they're surprised to find is not only a popular culture swept up in both disco and 1950s nostalgia, but a snapshot of a time when connections to Elvis seep into most of the rest of the genre of country music, with songs like "Suspicious Minds" and and artists who ALSO once recorded at Sun Records like Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty and Narvel Felts or have other Elvis connections (Elvis movie demo singer Glen Campbell shows up too!) bringing their own stylistic throwbacks to the Top 10. For Song of the Week, Justin solves a mini-mystery surrounding what 1962 movie scene specifically inspired Hank Cochran to write the country classic "Make the World Go Away," which featured prominently on "Elvis Country" and Elvis was filmed performing during the making of "That's The Way It Is" in 1970. Then finally, Bec touches briefly on Elvis' studio and live versions of Kris Kristofferson's "For The Good Times."  If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.
