On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Lee Newton and Heidi Parton to talk about their new recording of the country standard “Silver Threads and Golden Needles,” a collaboration with Georgette Jones that brings together three very different singers around a song that has endured for generations.Lee shares how the project began almost by chance. After thinking that Georgette would be a perfect voice for the song, Lee unexpectedly crossed paths with her only a week later. Heidi soon joined the project, and what began as a single collaboration quickly revealed a natural musical chemistry among the three singers. We talk about why their individual voices remain recognizable while still blending so naturally and how singing harmony requires listening closely to phrasing, pronunciation, tone, and the other voices around you.Heidi also talks about growing up in the Parton family and finding her own artistic identity while respecting the musical legacy surrounding her. She discusses the importance of recognizing that there will only ever be one Dolly Parton, and that her responsibility as an artist is not to imitate that legacy, but to discover what makes her own voice distinctive.Along the way, Lee reflects on collaborations with artists including Pam Tillis, Leona Williams, Joe Bonsall, and Ben Isaacs, and how working with other singers has continued to challenge and develop her as an artist. We also dig into why “Silver Threads and Golden Needles” continues to connect with listeners, from Wanda Jackson's early recording to later versions by Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn.Most of all, this conversation is about what happens when singers listen to one another. Lee and Heidi talk about chemistry, friendship, harmony singing, learning from other musicians, and the possibility that “Silver Threads and Golden Needles” may only be the beginning for the trio they have begun calling the Rhinestone Darlings.Key TakeawaysLee Newton brought Heidi Parton and Georgette Jones together for a new version of “Silver Threads and Golden Needles,” despite having never previously worked with either singer.Their arrangement reaches back to the Wanda Jackson version of the song and restores a second verse omitted from several later recordings.Heidi explains how background singing requires careful attention to another vocalist's phrasing, pronunciation, enunciation, and musical personality.Lee discusses how collaborations with artists including Pam Tillis, Leona Williams, Joe Bonsall, and Ben Isaacs have challenged her and helped her grow as a singer.Heidi reflects on the expectations that come with the Parton family name and why finding her own warm, soulful vocal identity has been essential to her development as an artist.Lee and Heidi believe the lasting appeal of “Silver Threads and Golden Needles” comes partly from the honesty of its lyrics and the ability of singers and listeners to connect it to their own experiences.The chemistry developed between Lee, Heidi, and Georgette has led to conversations about future recordings—and possibly a larger project together as the Rhinestone Darlings.Music from the EpisodeSilver Threads and Golden Needles - Lee Newton, Heidi Parton, & Georgette JonesAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about the people who make music and the experiences that shape the way they make it.

Few Australian bands have enjoyed the extraordinary international success of Little River Band, and few people are better placed to tell that story than original drummer Derek Pellicci.In this warm, candid and deeply insightful conversation, Derek looks back on an incredible career that began with a young boy standing in a crowd watching The Beatles during their unforgettable '64 visit to Melbourne. That single moment changed the course of his life forever, inspiring him to become a drummer and setting him on a path that would eventually take him to stages all over the world.Derek shares his fascinating journey through Melbourne's thriving music scene of the late 60s and early 70s, performing with bands likeThe Music Express, The Plum and The Ash before receiving the phone call that would change everything. When Beeb Birtles invited him to audition for Mississippi, Derek found himself joining a group whose remarkable vocal harmonies would soon evolve into one of Australia's greatest recording acts.He recalls the transformation of Mississippi into Little River Band, the arrival of Glenn Shorrock, the vision of legendary manager Glenn Wheatley and the chance roadside moment that inspired the band's iconic name.The conversation explores LRB's groundbreaking assault on America, where they became the first Australian band to achieve sustained commercial success across the US. Derek explains how the band built its audience one city at a time long before MTV existed, touring relentlessly and opening for some of the biggest names in rock including Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Heart, Linda Ronstadt, Steve Miller Band and The Doobie Brothers. Those years of constant travel, endless overnight bus rides and unforgettable performances eventually led to thirteen US Top 40 hits and established Little River Band as Australia's biggest musical export of the era.Derek also offers remarkable behind-the-scenes stories about the making of some of the band's best-loved songs, including Reminiscing, Cool Change, Lonesome Loser and It's A Long Way There. One of the highlights of this episode is Derek's vivid recollection of working with legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin. For a musician whose career began because of The Beatles, collaborating with Martin was a full-circle moment. Derek explains the invaluable lessons Martin taught the band about simplicity, arrangement, discipline and always serving the song before serving the musician.The conversation then turns to Derek's life after Little River Band. Moving to Los Angeles opened the door to songwriting, and he reflects honestly on why he wishes he had begun writing much earlier in his career. His lifelong love of literature eventually found its way into his lyrics, leading to a new creative chapter that has become every bit as fulfilling as performing on stage.Today Derek is once again breaking new ground with his album Welcome to the Human Race. He speaks openly about using artificial intelligence as part of his songwriting and production process, why he believes creativity still belongs to the artist rather than the technology, and why audiences should judge music by what they hear rather than how it was created. His thoughtful perspective on AI provides one of the most fascinating discussions you'll hear about where music may be heading in the years ahead.Derek also reflects on friendship, success, the realities of life on the road, the tensions that inevitably arise inside successful bands, and why he has no desire to chase the past through endless reunion tours.Whether you've loved Little River Band since the '70s or you're discovering their music for the very first time, this episode offers a rare opportunity to hear one of Australia's most respected musicians tell his story with warmth, humour and remarkable honesty. It's an inspiring conversation about following your passion embracing change and proving that creativity never has an expiry date.
Send us Fan MailAhoy there mateys! This week is a listener pick, and our most recent submission is from loyal listener Jared, who said his mother made him watch this film every Christmas. (We are not sure if this was for enjoyment or punishment.) He has requested that we watch 1983's "The Pirates of Penzance;" a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta written in the late 19th century, which had a Broadway revival in the early 1980s and then made it to film. It does star Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt and Angela Lansbury, which sounds promising at face value. However. . . it was not well received by audience at the time or the MRT crew in the present . . .We also discuss the origins of the musical and what made Gilbert and Sullivan so popular in the Victorian era. And so dear listeners, with cat-like tread, upon this film we steal. . . and we also apologize in advance.

Vanguard Records is best known for its eclectic catalog of pivotal jazz, folk, rock and blues recordings by iconic artists like Joan Baez, Linda Ronstadt, Buddy Guy, Charlie Musselwhite, John Fahey, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and countless others. Most recently, Vanguard has carried forward the label's legacy of artistic excellence with a diverse roster including Barenaked Ladies, Indigo Girls, O.A.R. and Collective Soul.Riding the tail end of the popular boom of commercialized Folk Music, Vanguard's unexpected mega-hit "Walk Right In" soared to the top of the pop chart. Looking for a long forgotten treasure to mine, Erik Darling and Bill Svanoe, doing what many had done before them, updated an old string band tune, composed by Gus Cannon and recorded with his Jug Stompers in 1929. They arranged it for TWO 12-String guitars (one of which, a leftie model, had to be specially constructed for Bill), and adding the mellifluous tones of Lynne Taylor to complete the trio, the magic concoction was brewed to MOR perfection.And, just in time for Gus Cannon, too! He had recently pawned his banjo to pay his heating bill, and the royalties and national recognition breathed new life into a long dormant career.

A new documentary, ‘Peter Asher: Everywhere Man,' chronicles Asher's life in the record industry. He spoke with Terry Gross about his own band in the British Invasion (Peter and Gordon), discovering James Taylor and launching Linda Ronstadt.

We are still in the midst of our summer holiday. And oh, what a sweltering summer it is turning out to be! Because of this, rather than producing a brand-new episode today, I’m bringing you an episode from nearly six years ago which celebrated a landmark birthday of mine, which is a playlist of a few of my favorite pop divas, my association with some of whom stretches all the way back to my childhood. But what a motley assortment it is! Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Edith Piaf, Barbara Cook, Eartha Kitt, Juliette Gréco, ABBA, Barbra Streisand, Bonnie Raitt, Cyndi Lauper, Billie Holiday, Eurythmics, Jackie DeShannon, Dolly Parton, Laura Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Yma Sumac, the recently departed Nicole Croisille, Linda Ronstadt, Freda Payne, Joey Heatherton, Dinah Washington, Dalida, Aretha, and of course my beloved Dusty. This is a playlist worthy of any diva-loving late-middle aged homosexual that any lover of occasionally good music and usually fantastic singing can enjoy. The episode begins with a memorial tribute to the late Erie Mills. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly or yearly support at whatever level you can afford.

Can the folks at Pixar continue to extract gold from the "Toy Story" mine after over thirty years? As "Toy Story 5" deftly demonstrates, the answer is definitely, "Yes." This time out, the focus is on cowgirl Jessie and how she and the other old school toys are threatened by high tech devices. As we've come to expect the folks at Pixar spend most of their efforts on creating a compelling and heartfelt story. Take some tissues because "Toy Story 5" has the smarts and the feels. You won't find any Merry Men in the excessively dark, violent and dour revisionary drama, "The Death of Robin Hood." Hugh Jackman stars as an aging and tired Robin Hood who, as it turns out, was a selfish bandit who robbed from the rich…and kept it. After numerous injuries, all he wants to do is die, but a nun at a rural sanctuary played by Jodie Comer insists on nursing him back to health. Despite a great cast and atmospheric production, “The Death of Robin Hood” is brooding, bloody and boring. “Peter Asher: Everywhere Man” is an involving documentary about the life of the pop star who arrived in the U.S. as part of the 60s British Invasion duo Peter and Gordon and stayed to become a phenomenally successful record producer steering the careers of superstars like Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Carol King and many others. Asher tells his own story through a unique live concert mixed with extensive film clips as well as observations from his many famous pals, including mentor Paul McCartney. “Peter Asher: Everywhere Man” is a snappy pop music time capsule.

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!

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.

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). This is living history, kids! Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
