Podcast appearances and mentions of Linda Ronstadt

This week Baxie talks with legendary bass player Tony Marsico! Tony was not only the bass player for The Plugz--one of the first predominantly Latino punk bands. The were also the band that scored the 1984 film “Repo Man”. After The Plugz the band rebranded themselves as the The Cruzados. The Cruzados were quickly signed by Clive Davis from Arista records and released two outstanding records until breaking up in 1987. But Tony hardly stopped there. Since the band's original break up Tony became one of the most in-demand session players in America. His list of credits includes the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Roger Daltry, Marianne Faithful, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, the Divinyls, Juliana Hatfield, Matthew Sweet, and many more. He also found time to release 25 solo albums, act in several feature films, write four books, and revive the Cruzados in 2021. Tony talks about all of that—and a whole lot more! Just amazing!

Fun show this week (except for the part where Brian thinks he's going to lose his house): Let's break down that 400 episodes, and it's some sad shit | sucking dick and balls from the back | Brian's natural enemy is an old man at Staples | the boys hate corporate speak | Jeff is getting his retirement plan together | a Secret Service agent was jerking off in a Miami hotel hallway | a school director was sentenced for running a fight club with autistic kids | white singers never sounded better than in the 1970s (Humble Pie, Linda Ronstadt, Orleans) | Brian read a book about the Bernie Goetz shooting | man sets world record (we think) for pulling a car with his cock, while on fire | Feel Good Story of the Week: Hundreds of dogs set world record for largest dog pool party | a guy walked onto the runway at the Denver airport, with predictable results | Epstein Injuries | Old Timey Guy drops by to discuss wing walkers | Lefties love trains the same way autistics love trains | and finally, the Rousey and Carano fight is this weekend.

The Flood band room is usually a rather raucous place — rocking tunes, loud talk, lots of laughter — but often that mood can turn on a dime to something softer, even almost fragile. We hadn't done this old Jackson Browne song for years, but something last week — about watching the beautiful spring evening come falling in, seeing those long shadows rolling down over the newly green leaves outside our windows — brought this song back to mind.About the Song“Jamaica Say You Will,” which Browne wrote in 1969 when he was just 20 years old, not only launched the singer/songwriter's career, but also even helped found the record company that would bring his music to the world.The story goes that artist manager David Geffen signed Browne in 1970 after listening to a demo of this specific song. Right away, Geffen started searching for a record contact for his new artist.At one point, he pitched Browne to Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun, saying, “You'll make a lot of money.” To that, Ertegun reportedly replied, “You know what, David? I have a lot of money. Why don't you start a record company and then you'll have a lot of money.”A year later, Geffen partnered with his old friend Elliot Roberts to create Asylum Records with the help of Ertegun, who put up the initial funds. Atlantic Records distributed Asylum Records with the profits split 50/50.Jackson Browne was one of first artists whom Geffen and Roberts signed for Asylum, and “Jamaica Say She Will” was the opening track of Browne's self-titled debut album when it was released in September 1972. Browne was quickly joined on the new label that same year by Linda Ronstadt, John David Souther, David Blue, Joni Mitchell, Glenn Frey and others.For more about the song's back story, see our earlier Flood Watch article by clicking here.“Jamaica” is one of several Jackson Browne songs in The Flood's repertoire. As reported elsewhere in Flood Watch, from its earliest days the band has played “These Days” from Browne's second album, For Everyman.

Interview with Anne Richmond Boston of Swimming Pool Q's. Anne was born in Louisville, Kentucky. She was a member of the church choir, took violin and ballet lessons all through elementary school. Her father was transferred to Winter Haven, Florida, for one year (where violin and ballet stopped) and then moved the family to Atlanta, Georgia. She was accepted into the high school chorus and was chosen to sing in a special chorus performing Leonard Bernstein's “Chichester Psalms.” Vocal harmonies were something she came to naturally. Perfoming “Going to the Chapel” with a band in the high school talent show was her first experience of being onstage behind a mic. She really dug it. It was about this time that the music of Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Sandy Denny, Linda Ronstadt, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Melba Montgomery, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, and The Supremes took up residence in her being. She became friends with local Atlanta phenoms Thermos Greenwood (original rock band) and was invited along with a chorus of people to sing on the song “Chocolate City” for their album Pinhead Teddy. Anne was invited to become a member of the newly formed band The Swimming Pool Q's in 1978 and sang on their recordings The Deep End, The Swimming Pool Q's, and Blue Tomorrow. They continue to perform today. As a graphic designer, Anne created much of the early Swimming Pool Q's promotional material, supervised photo sessions, and designed single and album cover packaging. Leaving the Q's in 1987, Anne and her then-husband recorded The Big House of Time which was released on DB Records in 1990. It contained many originals and several cover songs, including “When You Dance” by Neil Young and “Darling Be Home Soon” by John Sebastian. T he follow up was I Should Be Happy. Anne's has had the pleasure of singing either live with, or on recordings by:  Drive-By Truckers, Widespread Panic, Thermos Greenwood, Terry Adams (NRBQ), The Brains, Johnny Jenkins, Marti Jones, Syd Straw, Laurie Sargent, Julie Adams, Kelly Hogan

Cornell West says America is obsessed with problems but denies catastrophe — and the moment you reduce the catastrophic to the problematic, you have already deodorized the discourse, sanitized it, and started looking at the wasteland from the air-conditioned office of upper management. That line has been working on me since I sat with his Gifford Lectures, and this reflection is what came of it. I want to make one claim and trace it through two unlikely conversation partners. The claim is that the resurrection is apocalyptic blues — catastrophe lyrically expressed, the tragic named without evasion, despair stubbornly refused the last word — and that a church which cannot stay in the room with what is true is not capable of the gospel, because the gospel is a blues song. The conversation partners are Cornell, who has been telling us this in technical philosophical language for forty years, and episode three of The Last of Us, "Long, Long Time," where Bill plays Linda Ronstadt on the piano and his voice cracks, and sixteen years of love inside the apocalypse becomes a kind of theology no committee meeting and no strategic plan and no air-conditioned think piece about the future of the church will ever produce. We have routinely skipped past Good Friday to get to Easter because we wanted resurrection to be a problem solved rather than a song sung from inside the wreckage. The blues will not let us. Neither, I suspect, will the moment we are actually living in. Come keep thinking with us — Theology Beer Camp 2026 This is exactly what we will be sitting with at Theology Beer Camp this October 8–10 in Kansas City. Our theme this year is the God-podcalypse. Cornell West is coming. So are a lot of your favorite theologians and podcasters and six hundred of your soon-to-be-favorite people. We are going to think together about what it means to be a people of faith in catastrophic times — without deodorizing the catastrophe, and without giving despair the last word. Early-bird pricing ends April 30. Don't wait. → TheologyBeer.Camp JOIN ⁠⁠THE CLASS - Theology for Troublemakers: Christian Social Ethics from the Margins⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This 6-week online course, led by Dr. Gary Dorrien and Dr. Aaron Stauffer, recovers the radical tradition of Christian social ethics — from Reverdy Ransom and Reinhold Niebuhr to James Cone and the Welfare Rights Movement — and asks what faithfulness demands of us right now. Weekly lectures, live Q&A conversations, guest lecturers, and an online community included.

Hey Now! Here is the music of The Grateful Dead, Little Feat, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan and more Dead. Enjoy. 

Think about your favourite records. Go ahead. Chances are, one of the first things that popped into your head was the album cover. And it makes sense...who hasn't studied an album jacket while listening to a record?  Or scanned the track listing, or read the liner notes or credits?  How many of you have bought an album solely based on the cover art? The artwork colors how we hear the music, and, likewise, the music informs how we interpret the artwork.  Either way, when done effectively, the two are intertwined. But don't take it from us.  This week, we have one of THE greatest creative art directors in music history joining as our Third Lad.  There's a near certainty that you have the iconic work of John Kosh sitting in your record collection - and it's absolutely staggering list of credits since the late ‘60s.  For starters, how about his work as with The Beatles' Apple Records, like Abbey Road, Let It Be, or John & Yoko's Wedding Album? Or how about Who's Next?  Get Your Ya-Ya's Out?  Hotel California?  Out Of The Blue, featuring his familiar ELO spaceship logo?  In fact, he is the only Art Director to have worked with The Beatles, The Stones, and The Who.  That's not enough for you?  Among the hundreds of album covers Kosh has designed, there are also familiar sleeves for Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet, Donovan, Aerosmith, Family, The Moody Blues, Badfinger, 10,000 Maniacs, T. Rex, and so, so many more.  And, oh yeah, the four decade string of gorgeous covers he did for Linda Ronstadt, three of which have earned him Grammys. Aside from album covers, there's artwork for singles, books, TV, film, posters, and billboards - like, for example, the simple but incredibly effective John & Yoko campaign declaring WAR IS OVER…if you want it.  Listen as Kosh recounts stories from his fabled career and discusses his Top 5 Album Covers (other than his own).

“I don't think we thought about anything. We just did it!” - Genny Schorr, about her groundbreaking LA punk band Backstage PassBack in February, we had an awesome chat with musician, stylist, and “All Roads Lead To Punk” author Genny Schorr (AKA Genny Body.) With her band Backstage Pass, she was one of the original LA punks; blending punk with glam rock as they terrorized the Sunset Strip and challenging gender roles. Then she was stylist to the stars at the legendary Strait Jacket boutique, dressing the likes of the Bangles, the Go-Gos, Linda Ronstadt, and so so many more. (Check out Kathy Valentine wearing custom Strait Jacket on slide 6!) Genny is a lifelong music and fashion lover and devoted mom. Through it all, she's embodied the punk spirit: doing it yourself and not giving a hoot what anyone else thinks! She's not just “Genny-body,” she's a trailblazer with a story to tell. Plus: Emma recounts the mystery of the multiplying shelf screws? “Backstage Pass: An Interview with Genny Schorr” is available now wherever you stream your podcasts

This week's episode finds the heart of rock ‘n roll; that recipe of a rhythm and blues with just the right pinch of just about everything else. Chuck Berry's legacy stands as one of the most important stories in rock ‘n roll's 75 or so years. His music, particularly in those early years, was covered ad nauseum but it was always done best in an artist's own voice. Why? Because the music speaks for itself. We'll share music from Sleepy Labeef to Nina Simone, Linda Ronstadt to Peter Gammons (!), and Conway Twitty to the late, great John Hammond. Covers include You Never Can Tell, Sweet Little Sixteen, Nadine, and No Money down with another dozen, all honoring the King (or is it the Prime Minister) of Rock ‘n Roll whose 100th birthday will be celebrated later this year. 

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 344, where we trace how “The End of the Innocence” by Don Henley captures a cultural turning point at the close of the Reagan era, even taking a pointed lyrical swipe at Ronald Reagan. But the story loops back further than you'd expect, long before the Eagles, a young Henley crossed paths with Kenny Rogers, who helped launch his early band Shiloh and set him on the road to stardom. Another key boost came from Linda Ronstadt, whose backing band became the breeding ground for the Eagles' formation You can listen to all our episodes at our website at: https://pod.co/miss-heard-song-lyrics Or iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and many more platforms under Podcast name “Miss Heard Song Lyrics” Please consider supporting our little podcast via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/MissHeardSongLyrics or via PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MissHeardSongLyrics #missheardsonglyrics #missheardsongs #missheardlyrics #misheardsonglyrics #podcastinavan #vanpodcast #SongLyricsFails #MusicPodcast #PodcastLovers #MustListen #DonHenley #TheEndoftheInnocence #Eagles #KennyRogers #LindaRonstadt   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOy5KSrwHGw https://www.songfacts.com/facts/don-henley/the-end-of-the-innocence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_Innocence_(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_Innocence_(song) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Henley

Neil Young's New Streaming ServiceWhisp and Geoff kick off the morning buried in useless classic rock trivia, detours through Whisp's Cool It Down 102 era, and a listener topic so aggressively pointless that even The Hawk struggles to justify airing it. Rock News eventually surfaces with updates on Pearl Jam, the Eagles announcing additional dates at Val Verde's Big Ball, and Neil Young's new high-fidelity streaming platform, Mule. The segment's unexpected authority on the subject: the anthropomorphized coke rock from Neil Young's left nostril, who has thoughts.Also this week:Good Rock Facts. Whisp presents his thesis that Def Leppard's "Rocket" is secretly a song about salmonella — specifically, Robert "Mutt" Lange's food poisoning. The evidence is circumstantial. The conviction is total.Cool It Down 102. Whisp goes deep into his New York radio archives, dusting off airchecks from 1989 and 1990, and spends a dangerous amount of time wondering if the entire Hawk format should be rebuilt around an era when radio was still good and he was still young.How Tight Them Pants. Val Verde callers are asked one simple question. None of them answer it in under a sentence. Geoff and Whisp sit with it as the calls spiral into extended monologues about short pants, Linda Ronstadt, and the sightlines of a community theater.Let's Get Real for a Second. Geoff observes that the members of The Band may have assembled the strangest collection of human faces in rock history. This opens a door. Neil Young's coke rock walks through it, ready to discuss self-snorting, bad investments, and the lossless audio promise of Mule.Listen. Subscribe. Join the Rock Battalion at 1089thehawk.com.

This week, Kate and Christina talk about Kate's whirlwind birthday trip to Tucson, Linda Ronstadt's favorite haunts, Sonoran hot dogs, and main-character-energy nopales salad.

He has been referred to by Billboard Magazine as "One of Music Row's greatest veteran tunesmiths.” A multi-award-winning songwriter, he has had over 580 different songs recorded and his songs have sold in excess of 19 million records worldwide. He was a co-writer on a song that Chris Stapleton won a GRAMMY for last year for “Best Country Performance of the Year.” This past Friday he released a new album that is a gospel-bluegrass project, plus he has a GRAMMY nomination on his résumé as a producer in the Gospel Roots category. Internationally, he has written no less than nine Number 1 Country hits in Australia! He is even an eight-time Dove Award nominee in the country, bluegrass, and southern gospel categories. As an artist, he has performed worldwide and has had the honor of performing as a soloist many times on the world-famous Grand Ole Opry. Plus, he has sung as background vocalist for Linda Ronstadt on Late Night with David Letterman and NBC's Today Show.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, we feature the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series: it's Chuck's chat with legendary songwriter/singer Jimmy Webb.  This beautiful little interview serves as the perfect palate cleanser before Discograffiti launches into our unprecedented 21-episode Love Series, which kicks off next week. Winning the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the age of 21, Webb has written multiple platinum-selling songs, including ”Up, Up and Away”, “By The Time I Get to Phoenix”, “MacArthur Park”, “Wichita Lineman”, “Worst That Could Happen”, “Galveston”, and “All I Know”. He had successful collaborations with Glen Campbell, Michael Feinstein, Linda Ronstadt, The 5th Dimension, country supergroup The Highwaymen, The Supremes, Art Garfunkel, Richard Harris, and Carly Simon. He's the only artist ever to receive Grammy Awards for music, lyrics and orchestration. Here's just a few of the many things that Jimmy discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: What George Martin had told Jimmy about Pet Sounds; The importance of multi-track recording for works like Pet Sounds to even exist; Magic Alex and the freeing possibilities of recording potential during the 1960s, which we now take for granted; Jimmy's favorite song off Pet Sounds; And the fascinating story about Jimmy's prospective project with Frank Sinatra, which unfortunately never got off the ground.

Today, we're slowing it down a bit with one of the greatest singer-songwriters, Karla Bonoff — a writer and performer whose songs helped define a generation of West Coast folk-rock and soft rock, even if a lot of people first fell in love with them through other artists. In this bonus pod, we talk about Karla's songwriting, the stories behind some of those timeless songs, and what it's like to have music live so many different lives over the years. Her catalog has been recorded by artists like Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt, but hearing these songs from Karla herself is a completely different experience — intimate, honest, and beautifully direct. And on March 19 at 8:00 p.m., she's bringing that music to Annapolis for one night at Rams Head On Stage. We get into the craft, the career, and what fans can expect from a night with one of the most enduring voices in American songwriting. Have a listen!

I sat down with Janie Barnett, a singer, songwriter, arranger, and educator whose career reflects a steady commitment to saying yes to what fits and no to what does not.We begin with her roots in the Greater Washington area, where summers at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and early exposure to roots music shaped her ear. Moving to New York was a shock. The city carried a gritty, post-Patti Smith energy and felt like a long search for a new urban Americana sound. Janie found her footing through community, especially friendships with Robin Batteau and Kenny White. Session work, including jingles, gave her financial stability and the freedom to keep her songwriting honest rather than chasing a paycheck through her own music.We talk about life behind the scenes and what it taught her about leadership. Janie shares stories from sessions with Linda Ronstadt and a career highlight singing background vocals on Saturday Night Live with Rickie Lee Jones, one of her musical heroes. Being on the team shaped how she leads her own bands, creating rooms where musicians feel respected and invited to contribute.She also reflects on how becoming a parent changed her artistry. Her songs deepened, her priorities clarified, and the work stopped feeling precious in the face of real life.We spend time on her project Under My Skin, a reimagining of Cole Porter through an acoustic Americana lens. What began as a guitar idea for I've Got You Under My Skin grew into a pandemic-era collaboration with an extraordinary group of musicians, including Carmela Ramsey and Jerry Douglas, many of whom recorded from home studios. The album proves Porter's writing is timeless, and Janie's voice brings it all together.We close with her work at Berklee, where she mentors singer-songwriters and leads ensembles. She speaks candidly about the pressures of constant content and social media, and the importance of building real community and a live musical life. Looking ahead, she is planning a vinyl release of the Cole Porter project, aiming for a show around Porter's birthday in June, and working toward a new record of original songs with a clearer strategy for getting it into the world.Music from the Episode:LIfe Is Long and Then It's Not (Janie Barnett)Delaware Bridge (Janie Barnett)If You Were Here (Janie Barnett)I've Got You Under My Skin (Janie Barnett)Night and Day  (Janie Barnett with Keith Sewell)You're the Top (Janie Barnett with Catherine Russell)Thank you for listening.

Live With Danny Kortchmar - Don Henley, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt Kootch tells the story of how his and Don Henley's monster hit, Dirty Laundry was born, how his and Jackson Browne's, Somebody's Baby was birthed, and how Running On Empty was recorded Live. This legendary guitar hero, songwriter, and producer, who's been integral to more hits with more iconic artists than just about anyone I can think of, shared about all of them… James (or Jamie as he calls him), Taylor, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, the aforementioned Don Henley, and Jackson Browne. Kootch talked about his first producing gig - Louise Goffin, and the killer band he put together for her, which included Steve Lukather and Kenny Aaronoff, saying he learned from observing Peter Asher, who produced so many of the albums Kootch played on. He talked about producing Jon Bon Jovi, Toto, and Billy Joel, and the controversy that surrounded that gig. We got a few of his favorite memories through the years, and his shattering heartbreak, losing Lisa Roy, the love of his life, the sad for fans, and the boys themselves, seeming end of his dream band, The Immediate Family, both leading to his leaving LA and relocating to Rhode Island to be near his blood family. We got the hows and whys with little hope of resurrection. We also got his newfound joy playing with his new band, The Back Burners, whom I can't wait to hear. The band features frontman Rocco DeRosa, Marty Ballou on bass, Vinny Pagano on drums, and Joel Latulippe on harmonica. A departure for Danny, it's groove-driven soul and blues. Playing small clubs in the thriving local music scene and preparing to record, Kootch is feeling at home with his new band and his new digs. I've been blessed to know Kootch for some years. Thanks to Steve Postell, Danny played at my book launch for Don't Jump almost a decade ago. He was a pretty serious man of few words for most of the time I knew him. Thanks to Lisa and the bliss of banding with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkle, his fellow mates of The Section, 50 or so years in the playing, and Waddy Wachtel, whom he's gigged with for almost as long, as well as Steve Postell, with whom he's done innumerable projects in more recent years, and appearing in the Denny Tedesco award-winning documentary about them, Kootch was lighter, brighter, and happier than I'd seen him. I hope this move eases recent losses and brings creative and personal fulfillment. I also hold hope that we'll see Kootch, Lee, Russ, Waddy, and Steve reunited, someday in some way. Danny, thanks for your enormous contribution to the soundtrack of my youth. Danny Kortchmar Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, February 18th, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET Streamed Live on my FB, YouTube & LinkedIn

This week, we tip our hats to the trailblazing all (or mostly) girl bands of alternative rock. Speaking of the trailblazers, today's ceremonial Third Lad certainly is one. As a musician and songwriter, Genny Schorr (aka Genny Body) was a member of one of the first mostly female punk bands in LA, Backstage Pass, along with past O3L guest Marina Muhlfriedel (aka Marina Del Rey), Joanna Spock Dean, and Holly Beth Vincent, later of Holly & The Italians (of “Tell That Girl To Shut Up” fame).  They were critical in the launch of legendary LA punk club The Masque.  They landed a track on Rhino Records' seminal LA punk comp, Saturday Night Pogo.  They played with, and their story intertwines with, a jaw-dropping list of punk, new wave, and rock heroes.  After Backstage Pass, she was invited to be in the Go-Go's.  She owned the influential rock n' roll clothing boutique Strait Jacket with Stiff Records' impresario Jake Rivera, which launched a long career as a wardrobe designer and stylist to the stars.  Many of those stylish videos, album covers, and magazine shoots you love from the ‘80s?  Genny had a hand in sculpting the look.  She lived with and toured with Linda Ronstadt as her personal wardrobe stylist as the singer transformed her image from new wave darling on the Get Closer tour to sophisticated starlet stepping in front of Nelson Riddle's big band.  She styled and toured with the Bangles at their peak.  But ultimately, All Roads Lead to Punk - which just happens to be the title of Genny Schorr's incredible new memoir of sex, drugs, rock n' roll and fashion fromHoZac Books.  It's not only a fantastic page-turner, but the photos and ephemera make it an indispensable time capsule of the era.  If you think the stories Genny shares on O3L are incredible...just wait til you read the book!

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring Mariachi trumpet performer and recording artist José Hernández, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "José Hernández trumpet interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here   Few people have had a greater impact on Mariachi music over the past 50 years than José Hernández, and today José joins us to share his musical upbringing, his influences and education, his passion for education and some very interesting insights on balancing a professional music career with business ventures, such as his restaurants.   José is a composer, arranger, performer and recording artist, including being a key musical coordinator on Linda Ronstadt's landmark 1987 Spanish album, Canciones de Mi Padre, where he helped guide her pronunciation and the Mariachi direction of the music.   Plus, he continues to inspire younger generations through his educational programs, and founding two world-famous ensembles: Mariachi Sol de México®, and Reyna de Los Ángeles®, America's first all-female professional mariachi ensemble.   José is, relatively speaking, just down the road from us here at Bob Reeves Brass in Valencia, CA, so if you're in LA make sure to drop by both our shop and the Casa del Sol Cocina down in Irvine, for amazing food and entertainment! On Saturdays, the master could be there himself! About José Hernández: José Hernández is an internationally renowned Mariachi musician, composer, educator and cultural ambassador. He is the founder and musical force behind Mariachi Sol de México, the trailblazing Mariachi Reyna de Los Ángeles, the Mariachi Heritage Society and the Mariachi Rams, in partnership with the Los Angeles Rams.   Born on August 27, 1958, in Mexicali, Baja California, José comes from a proud lineage of mariachis and musicians, with family musical roots tracing back to the 1700s. He was named after his grandfather, José Hernández, a musician born in 1901 in Jalisco, Mexico, who helped lay the musical foundation that would inspire future generations.   In 1981, José founded Mariachi Sol de México® with a bold vision: to expand the boundaries of mariachi music and elevate the genre beyond its traditional roots in ranchera and golden-age Mexican cinema. Under his leadership, the ensemble has become a global ambassador for Mariachi, known for its musical excellence and genre-blending innovation.   Throughout his illustrious career, José has been nominated for four American Grammy Awards and nine Latin Grammys. He has collaborated with a remarkable roster of artists, including Vicente and Alejandro Fernández, Luis Miguel, Marco Antonio Solís, Lola Beltrán, Celia Cruz, Selena, Vikki Carr, Linda Ronstadt, Arturo Sandoval, José Feliciano, the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and The Beach Boys.   Today, José Hernández continues to perform, compose, and educate while working on his highly anticipated autobiography, which will reflect on his 50-year career and the profound impact of mariachi music on American culture and the global stage.

This week we're sharing a series of episodes that capture one of our favorite themes on Second Act Stories: the moment when life changes key. These Key Changes episodes feature people whose lives have been shaped by music: some who left it behind for something new; others who found their way to it later than expected. Together, they're the stories we return to when we want to show how reinvention really works, not as a clean break, but as a shift in rhythm, perspective, and purpose. Whether you're a longtime listener or just discovering the show, these episodes reflect the heart of the podcast: bold pivots, unexpected harmony, and second acts that still have plenty to say. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter is a rock and roll legend. He was the founding lead guitarist in Steely Dan, and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Doobie Brothers. As a hired gun, he's played with a who's who of music royalty, including Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Dolly Parton, Carly Simon… the list goes on and on. From the time he was a child, the mechanically inclined Baxter loved taking things apart to see how they worked and putting them back together. He became an expert guitar repair technician and built custom guitars. He traded a custom white Fender Stratocaster he built in the 1960s to Jimi James, who would later re-emerge as the legendary Jimi Hendrix. In the 1980s, Skunk parlayed his more-than-casual interest in all things technical into a career as a missile defense consultant. After writing a paper that was quickly classified, he received the necessary clearances and now regularly consults with the U.S. government, the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs on topics including counterterrorism and wargaming. Skunk just released a new solo album, his first, called Speed of Heat. Please enjoy our exciting deep dive into the second act of one of rock's greatest guitarists. ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here.
