We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2017 conversation with Jimmy Webb. ABOUT JIMMY WEBBJimmy Webb emerged as a superstar songwriter and arranger in 1967 when two of his songs – The 5th Dimension's “Up, Up and Away” and Glen Campbell's “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” - were among the five nominees for the Grammy's Song of the Year award. He went on to write a string of major hits for Campbell, including “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” "Where's the Playground Susie,” “Honey Come Back,” and many others. Additionally, he penned “MacArthur Park,” which was a hit for a diverse range of artists, including Richard Harris, Waylon Jennings, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, and Donna Summer; “The Worst That Could Happen,” which was a Top 5 hit for The Brooklyn Bridge; “Didn't We,” which was recorded by Thelma Houston, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, and Barbra Streisand; “All I Know,” which became a Top 10 hit for Art Garfunkel; “The Moon's a Harsh Mistress,” which has been recorded by Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt, and Josh Groban; and “If These Walls Could Speak,” which was recorded by Glen Campbell, Amy Grant, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin. Others who've covered material from the Jimmy Webb songbook include Diana Ross, Dusty Springfield, Nina Simone, The Four Tops, Roberta Flack, The Temptations, The Association, Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, Cass Elliot, Harry Nilsson, Nancy Wilson, Cher, Bob Dylan, The Everly Brothers, Nick Cave, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Sheena Easton, David Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Michael Feinstein, R.E.M., Aimee Mann, America, Aretha Franklin, Isaac Hayes, Peggy Lee, Bette Midler, James Taylor, Carrie Underwood, Dwight Yoakam, and The Highwaymen (consisting of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson), who took Jimmy's song “Highwayman” to #1, earning him a Grammy for Country Song of the Year. As an artist, he has released more than a dozen albums. One of the most celebrated songwriters on the planet, Jimmy is the only individual to win Grammy awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame. Additionally, he has received ASCAP's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Influential Songwriter Award from the National Music Publishers Association, and the Academy of Country Music's prestigious Poets Award. In 2015 he was named among Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. Jimmy's memoir, The Cake and the Rain, details his formative years and early career through 1973. It's available now from St. Martin's Press.

This is my own take on Johnny Cash's "Man in Black." A bit of context here....In previous incarnations, performing as Powered BY Satan and later as Flibbertigibbet, I let it all hang out in a low budget devil suit, often in redface, with horns and basketball sock codpiece. I was, and forever will be the Man in Red. So what goes through a middle aged scientist's mind as he finds himself once again standing in an inch of ick in a toilet stall of a low end venue struggling to squeeze his middle aged ass into unwashed red leotards for zero pay and mimimal groupies. THis song explains it.

Don't you hate it when an artist wastes everyone's time by dedicating verses or even entire songs to shouting out dozens of random cities? No? It's just us? Well too bad, we're talking about it anyway!Why do so many artists feel compelled to list off dozens of cities they may or may not have been to? Where did this phenomenon begin, and which songs are the absolute worst offenders of all? Join us for a quirky little study of one of the most annoying if unremarked-upon phenomena in music! FOLLOW US:Instagram: polishing.podcast Twitter/X: @polishing_turds email: polishingturdspodcast@gmail.com

Textbooks have long left out an important piece of labor history that happened here in the mountains --the Mine Wars. Now, there's a book out that's written for teenagers.Also, when flooding devastates a community, people can find solace through faith and through song.And we remember songwriter Billy Edd Wheeler, who passed away last year. Dozens of musicians have covered his songs, including Johnny Cash and June Carter.

Holy shit. Welcome to episode 171 of the Gnar Couch Podshow, the very special “Revel Bikes hostage rescue operation,” a.k.a. the episode where every former industry bro, current stoke vampire, and accidental HR case decided to restart one of the most revered MTB bike brands and discuss it with us for some reason. Has your bike ever cost more than your car but handled like it was actually made out of expired condoms? Us too. That's why tonight we've packed your digital clown car with more mountain bike icons than a private equity firm's bankruptcy spreadsheet. (We say this in the most loving way, as you'll find out.) Cheef here, fresh off a Dairy Keen soft serve bender and contemplating my place in this late-stage capitalist hellscape we call mountain biking. Boston Rob's still dripping in dad rock and peanut butter cup stains, JP's been busy mansplaining Johnny Cash's genre to oblivion, and Jimmy's just out here rage-connecting all of us with big podcast stepdad energy. Chris Canfield is in studio, ready to pivot—literally, with his damn suspension kinematics and figuratively with his HR-compliant mustache. And, not to be outdone, we've dragged Adam “I just bought my own company back because fuck you, that's why” Miller, Mike “Too Steezy For Your Face” Giese, Deano the XC Nerd, whose med device stories will ensure you never trust French boobs or European healthcare again, and another round of your unhinged Oral Connections calls. Strap on a bib (or a thong, if that's your flavor), crack a Mezcal, and get ready for almost two hours of raw, unfiltered shit-talking about private equity stupidity, bike spec foreplay, soft serve-sized trauma, and what it actually feels like when your carbon dream bike files for Chapter 11 before being resurrected like the bicycle Jesus it actually is. We're more country than Austin, less country than Nashville, prouder than a Fox News viewer at a Willie Nelson concert, and about as reliable as a monkey with a PowerPoint deck. Listen, because we might actually answer a bike question, but mostly we'll just revel in Dad jokes, derailleur puns, and the existential dread of modern consumerism. Welcome, you sick bastards. Let's get seriously weird and weirdly serious together. Guest profiles: Revel Bikes Adam Miller Chris Canfield Mike Giese (steezygiese765) Check out our store for sick shirts.

Today I welcome Katy Horan to the show to discuss her new book, MURDER BALLADS. She painted each powerful illustration in the book and spent years researching these folk songs, which often depict young, beautiful, murdered women floating ethereally down a river. We discuss her process and background and, for my own curiosity, focus on songs by Johnny Cash, PJ Harvey and Nick Cave, and Nirvana's famous Unplugged performance. All links and show notes are on my website at https://www.sheworeblackpodcast.com/

There was a song about working, but you'll have to hum a few bars before we can join in! Welcome back to another episode with your Brothers in Arms! Tonight we begin murdered and soiled, en vogue confused with the Switch 2, the flight suit that acts as Jammie's, Johnny Cash's, men's tropical white service uniform, well it's only saltwater, if anyone makes sense I make them run a lap, sir are you making sense right now?, with great power comes a lot of great opportunities, salty tan-lines, the broke ones that co-captain the team, Holee Crap. You're Loud, hunting in bibs and a t-shirt, not that kind of ‘out', punctuation saves grandma, don't be sorry - be better, covenant week and a visit with Mom, you were the rabbit's foot, a glutton for punishment, the hotter it gets the more indecent it gets, and a few Dad jokes that are borderline mid.

If rock 'n' roll ever had a true outlaw—equal parts velvet-voiced crooner and headline-grabbing hellraiser—it was P.J. Proby. Born James Marcus Smith in 1938 in Houston, Texas, P.J. Proby has lived a life that most musicians could only dream of—or wouldn't dare to. With a vocal range that soared across genres and a personal life that veered toward the chaotic, PJ became a rock 'n' roll legend not just for his music, but for his sheer unpredictability.Raised in a religious Southern family, PJ grew up listening to gospel choirs and traditional country music. His talent was apparent early on—he could mimic voices, pick up melodies by ear, and possessed a stage presence that drew attention. He attended a military college where his rebellious streak began to bloom. By the late '50s, PJ had made his way to LA where he worked as a songwriter and demo singer. It was here that his persona was born. The name had been suggested by his songwriter friend, Sharon Sheeley—P.J. Proby was the name of her old boyfriend. In the early '60s, PJ found success writing songs for artists like Elvis. He sounded so like Elvis that some of his demos were mistaken for The King. PJ's big break came in the UK when he was brought over by a television producer. It was a move that would change the trajectory of his career. With his jet-black hair, tight trousers, and smouldering charisma, PJ became an instant sensation. His haunting, dramatic cover of "Hold Me" climbed the UK charts and established him as a vocal powerhouse.But it wasn't just his voice that got people talking—it was the way he wore his pants. In early performances, PJ's skin-tight trousers famously split on stage. It sent the British press into a frenzy. The BBC banned him. Venues grew wary. But the controversy only fuelled his fame. He was dubbed a bad boy, a provocateur, a rock rebel with no regard for propriety—and audiences loved him for it.P.J. Proby was never one to stick in one lane. He jumped from rock and roll to pop, country, and even Broadway-style musical theatre. One of his albums featured a little-known band called Led Zeppelin backing him in the studio.Despite his raw talent and unique voice—PJ's career was never a straight line. His fiery temper, love affairs, and on-and-off battles with alcohol and self-destruction kept him at the fringes of mainstream success. He clashed with record labels. He alienated promoters. He became infamous for being difficult to work with—and yet utterly magnetic on stage.Through the '70s and '80s, PJ dipped in and out of the public eye. He starred in Elvis: The Musical. He worked with producer Marc Almond, and toured Europe with rock revival shows. All the while, the myth of P.J. Proby continued to grow. Was he a genius? A madman? A misunderstood star? Depending on who you asked, he was all three.In the '90s and 2000s, PJ leaned into his status as a cult figure. He released new music, reissued his classic tracks, and embraced the adoration of die-hard fans. Always the controversial figure, he didn't shy away from the spotlight—even if it cast shadows. He was never the type to play by society's rules. Today, P.J. Proby remains a living legend, albeit a polarizing one. He's part of that rare breed of musicians who lived the rock ‘n' roll lifestyle to its wildest extremes and survived to tell the tale. With a career spanning over six decades, Proby has worked with the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Cilla Black, Marc Almond, and even Led Zeppelin. He's played both packed stadiums and dingy pubs, belted ballads and growled blues. He's been idolized, criticized, banned, adored, and everything in between.From his humble roots in Houston to the swinging stages of London, from chart-topping hits to tabloid trainwrecks, P.J. Proby is a survivor. A rock ‘n' roll original. A voice like velvet and a life like a tornado. He's the embodiment of that old saying: never boring, always Proby.

Benmont Tench, founding keyboard player from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, returns to our program to talk about his recently released second solo album, The Melancholy Season, in stores now from Dark Horse Records. He shares what he has learned about making records from his various producers from Denny Cordell, Jimmy Iovine, Rick Rubin, and Glyn Johns, to his recent sessions with Jonathan Wilson. Along the way, Tench reveals intimate details of recovery and healing, and of his development as a songwriter in the shadow of esteemed colleagues such as Petty and Mike Campbell, and in sessions with Bob Dylan, John Prine, Johnny Cash and others. Tench's unbridled appreciation for music, poetry, love, and life itself radiates throughout this very special conversation.

In one of the most personal and powerful episodes yet, Cam Heyward and Hayden sit down with Jelly Roll — the Grammy-nominated country star with hip-hop roots and a story that hits deeper than most. In this episode:

Will Wesley and Florian Fox Live At Luckenbach.Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I traveled 30 minutes from my house to Luckenbach, Texas to see previous guest of the show Will Wesley perform with his buddy Florian Fox. When Will was on the show last time, he mentioned that he & Florian would be playing Luckenbach a few months from then. So, true to his word, Will reached out to me as the date got nearer, and once again invited me to come see the show, and record another episode. This time, he introduced me to his good friend and tour mate, Florian Fox. Florian is a country singer all the way from Zurich, Switzerland! When Florian is in the U.S., he and Will tour together. When Will is in Switzerland, he and Florian tour together. What a great partnership! So my wife and I went to see them play together at The Thomas Michael Riley Music Festival, live at Luckenbach, Texas! My wife and I had never been there before, and this was one hell of a reason to go. In this episode, we get to know Florian, and how he was introduced to, and fell in love with country music. The two of them share the story of how they met, and why they instantly took a liking to each other. They share some tour stories, they explain why their different musical styles work well together, and they talk about some of the similarities in their music. Naturally, they wrote a song together, and they both graciously agree to let me play it! Both of these great country artists play across America, as well as across Switzerland and Europe. If you ever have the chance to see either, or both of them, DO IT! These gentlemen are a ton of fun to talk to and listen to! ******This episode was recorded LIVE at an outdoor music festival during a torrential rainstorm. I cleaned up the audio as good as I could, I hope you enjoy the episode!*****

In this episode a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz sit down with legendary music producer and bestselling author Rick Rubin to explore the origin of his unexpected new creation: "The Way of Code"*Blending ancient philosophy and modern AI, The Way of Code reimagines the 3,000-year-old Tao Te Ching for the age of artificial intelligence, software, and “vibe coding.” What began as a viral tweet quickly evolved into a creative manifesto—part book, part tool, part spiritual operating system for the future. Joined by a16z General Partners Anjney Midha and Erik Torenberg, the group dives deep into: How Rick became a meme for Vibe Coding —and then quickly wrote "The Way of Code"Why AI is just another artistic toolRemix culture, creativity, and collective consciousnessWhy great founders and artists need to stay true to themselvesWith shout outs to punk rock, the collective unconscious, and Johnny Cash's famed acoustic sessions, this conversation is a sprawling, soul-searching journey across music, philosophy, tech, and truth.

"Back in March of 1979 the movie The China Syndrome came out. Weeks later the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster occurred. This lead to musicians setting up MUSE and holding the NO Nukes concerts, albums and film. We have the entire story including the first time Bruce Springsteen was recorded live."

Legendary music producer Rick Rubin joins NLW on The AI Daily Brief for a singular conversation about creativity, technology, and how a meme turned into something much deeper. After unexpectedly becoming the internet's unofficial mascot of “vibe coding,” Rubin leaned into the joke—and emerged with a profound new collaboration: The Way of Code, a Tao Te Ching–inspired, interactive living book co-created with Anthropic and Claude.Read "The Way of Code" - https://www.thewayofcode.com/They explore why Rubin, famously a non-technical producer, sees alignment between ancient philosophy and generative AI; how vibe coding democratizes creativity and expands taste; and why he believes AI won't replace artists—but might help us see differently. The conversation spans Jay-Z and Johnny Cash, orchestration and intention, and how great art often begins where certainty ends.If you've ever wondered what the future of creative collaboration looks like—or what happens when Rick Rubin writes a book about something he doesn't understand—this is the episode for you.Get Ad Free AI Daily Brief: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/AIDailyBrief⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months Vertice Labs - Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://verticelabs.io/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the AI-native digital consulting firm specializing in product development and AI agents for small to medium-sized businesses.The Agent Readiness Audit from Superintelligent - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://besuper.ai/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to request your company's agent readiness score.The AI Daily Brief helps you understand the most important news and discussions in AI.

Stephen Sol is an indie musician based in Washington, D.C. His music blends classic rock, folk, and indie influences, drawing inspiration from the likes of Mac DeMarco, My Morning Jacket, and The Beatles.His latest single, Eternal Peace, a deeply introspective track that explores life, the beyond, and the serenity that awaits us all.Blending classic rock, folk, and contemporary indie influences, Sol delivers his signature soulful vocals and intricate guitar work, crafting a song that meditates on the unseen forces that guide us. The chorus—“The sound of nothing calls to me, the sound of eternal peace”—resonates as a soothing mantra, embracing the beauty of silence and the vast unknown. Through evocative lyrics like “Now I can breathe, life runs in me, my body feels vibrations, baby, and my spirit is free”, the track channels the essence of a spiritual awakening.“Eternal Peace is about the connection to something greater than ourselves—the timeless energy that binds us all,” says Sol. “I wanted to create a song that feels like a bridge between this world and the next, offering a sense of peace that never fades.”His musical journey began at 14, inspired by his grandfather "Boots," a fan of Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. Lately, he's drawn inspiration from Zach Bryan's raw storytelling, especially with a personal connection—his cousin, Read Connolly, plays banjo and pedal steel in Bryan's band. Stephen's recent performance highlights include two sold-out headlining shows at Galactic Panther in August and October 2024. He's also played at SoFar Sounds shows alongside acts such as LB199X and Dreemy Alpha. Looking forward, Stephen is set to release a string of singles, including "Hum of Love," "Toxic," "Águila, "and "Eternal Peace," with his debut album released in 2025.Website stephensol.comwww.youtube.com/@StephenSolmusic

"Dockery Farms is said to be the place where the Delta Blues began. That is a bold statement but once you hear the research I have gathered it will be hard to argue.

In this legendary episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we saddle up with four of country music’s most iconic outlaws—Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson—as we spin their unforgettable 1985 debut as The Highwaymen. Aptly titled Highwayman, this album wasn’t just a collaboration—it was a supergroup moment that brought together decades of grit, wisdom, and storytelling into one timeless record. The title track, "Highwayman," became an instant classic, featuring each artist taking a verse as a reincarnated soul traveling through time and history. From the haunting delivery to the poetic lyrics, it set the tone for an album that explores the American spirit, redemption, rebellion, and brotherhood. Other standout tracks like "Desperados Waiting for a Train" and "The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over" offer equal parts reflection and rowdiness, with that unmistakable outlaw flair. In this episode, we break down the formation of the group, the chemistry between these four legends, and how Highwayman became a defining moment not just for them—but for country music as a whole. It’s an album that honors tradition while forging its own trail across the dusty highways of Americana. Join Dem Vinyl Boyz as we celebrate Highwayman, an album where four rebel hearts came together and reminded the world what real country sounds like—raw, honest, and unforgettable.

Over the last 5 years, we have had the privilege of bringing you stories of Pioneering musicians such as Bill Monroe, Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash, Lead Belly, Dolly Parton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Pete Seeger, Jean Ritchie and so many more.However, a recently shift was forced upon the American Songcatcher program. Our distributor, Spotify for Podcasters/Creators, has taken down 1/4 of our episodes on all platforms, with more likely to follow, as they have began to crack down on the rights and usage of songs. Although this program is strictly education-based, and we don't sell products or produce any notable revenue from these episodes, they don't see what we do as fair use. It's a big blow, as over a year's worth of our work is now gone from the convenient places to listen to them.And so, our standstill for the last 5 months has been one of great pondering, and a lot of work with our nonprofit ReString Appalachia, where we have just surpassed 700 instruments given to those who had them taken away from natural disasters. It's been decided that from now on, American Songcatcher will strictly focus on traditional song history, field recordings, and interviews. We embrace our new direction, and we hope you will too. All of the episodes will be available on our website, AmericanSongcatcher.com in the next month. We'll be back with some new content soon, thank you for your patience, see you next time on American Songcatcher.__Support Educational Programming:⁠Tax-Exempt Donations⁠Join the⁠ Patreon Community⁠One-time donations:⁠ Venmo⁠ or⁠ PayPal⁠Follow ⁠American Songcatcher⁠ on ⁠Instagram⁠ Credits: Nicholas Edward Williams - Production, editing, recording and distribution

"First you need to know there are no swear words in this show. It was this week back in the 60s when the FBI released a letter stating that there were no curse words in the song Louie Louie. But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."

The 1990 self-titled album by Social Distortion marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing a more refined and mature sound compared to their hardcore roots. Frontman Mike Ness emerged from a turbulent period in the 1980s, including a stint in rehab that deeply influenced the album's themes of struggle, redemption, and personal reflection. The album saw the band evolve from hardcore beginnings into a more melodic blend of punk rock infused with rockabilly, country, and roots rock. Tracks like “Ball and Chain” and their cover of Johnny Cash's “Ring of Fire” highlighted this shift, combining punk's edge with a distinctly American roots sensibility. The album's lyrical content often reflected Ness's battles with addiction and the search for meaning, giving it a gritty authenticity that helped the band reach a larger audience and keep them on the charts throughout the 90s.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Sick Boys 19:35 - Ring of Fire 29:10 - Ball and Chain 35:00 - Story Of My Life 40:49 - Drug Train Outro - She's a Knockout   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
