Podcast appearances and mentions of Lucinda Williams

In 1997 Annette Gordon-Reed published 'Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy.' Her work has inspired other historians to look beyond the traditional narrative when researching and writing about American history. We talk with Gordon-Reed about her contributions to historical scholarship and dedication to preserving complex American history. Then, we listen back to a 2024 conversation with musician Lucinda Williams about her memoir 'Don't Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You'. Williams is headlining the Iowa City Songwriters Festival in November. (Part of this episode was originally produced Aug. 20, 2024.)

Este mes la azotea sonora rinde homenaje a una de sus principales debilidades, el cantautor norteamericano Ryan Adams. En este extenso y completo especial, Him repasa su prolífica carrera artística desde sus inicios con los reveladores Whiskeytown hasta sus últimos y numerosos lanzamientos discográficos. Se detallarán importantes cuestiones relativas a su persona, desde su meteórico éxito inicial hasta su actual ocaso personal, recordando sus numerosos enfrentamientos con las discográficas en aras de defender el valor incorruptible de su obra, su lucha constante contra las adicciones, su proliferación creativa fuera de lo humanamente posible, su fascinante e inspiradísima etapa con su banda de acompañamiento The Cardinals, su relación con artistas como Elton John, Johnny Marr o Jesse Malin, su impetuoso y sorprendente romance con Lucinda Williams, sus inclasificables proyectos paralelos, sus tremendos problemas de salud causados por la enfermedad de Ménière hasta llegar a sus tormentosos infiernos derivados del escándalo denunciado por el movimientor MeToo por conductas y coacciones psicológicas abusivas lo que provocó su actual estado cercano a la ruina artística y personal pese a su constante intento de redención y talento innato del todo indiscutible. Un episodio único sobre un artista único.

Dan rides solo for this ride and plays a lot of interesting tracks that lack proper flow, but somehow still connect all the dots. Oh, and Hank has 'Ozzy" dad socks. Hear that story and more.

Hear "American Girl" or "Born in the U.S.A." and, like it or not, chances are you begin to hum along. The soundtrack of grocery stores, pool halls, bowling alleys, flea markets, chain restaurants, drug stores, and political rallies--heartland rock, while beloved by some and derided by others, is inescapable even today. As rollicking as the music it describes, acclaimed music critic Erin Osmon's Won't Back Down: Heartland Rock and the Fight for America (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026) tells the story of the origins, chart-topping development, and tangled legacy of heartland rock, the music that ruled the airwaves of the 1980s and remains instantly recognizable to millions. Spinning an entertaining and eye-opening account, Osmon delves into the complicated afterlife of heartland rock's classic albums and songs, including Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run," Bob Seger's "Against the Wind," John Mellencamp's "Small Town," and Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." She demonstrates the centrality of often-overlooked women like Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, and Lucinda Williams--explaining how some of the most popular music of the time was made beyond its white-male stereotypes. She traces the genre's connections to country and Americana, and reveals how legendary figures like Prince were inspired by and expanded heartland rock. And she shows how its success revitalized the careers of figures like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Through it all, she explores the '80s cultural developments that fostered the genre--such as the rise of MTV and the switch to CDs--and argues that the music played a vital role in opposition to '80s conservatism and in support of LGBTQ rights, labor issues, and the environmental movement. A fair-minded critic with an ear for a great behind-the-scenes story, Osmon makes clear that at its best, heartland rock connected with millions of overlooked people longing to be heard. Erin Osmon is a music journalist, critic, and author of books on John Prine and Jason Molina. Her writing appears in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Rolling Stone, and others.

Country Artist • Songwriter • StorytellerDavid Serby September 1st | 7 PM EST Title: Broken Hearts, Honky Tonks & Finding Common Ground Tagline: Sometimes the songs born from trying, failing, and learning become the stories that connect us most. Description: On September 1st at 7 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Los Angeles country artist and songwriter David Serby for a conversation where music, storytelling, heartbreak, humour, and human connection all pull up a chair. David's album Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk brings the spirit of the classic roadhouse into modern Americana, drawing from the Bakersfield tradition while creating something distinctly his own. Through upbeat shuffles, introspective songs, flawed characters, and carefully crafted lyrics, David explores people searching for connection while trying to make sense of the situations they've sometimes created themselves. His career has taken him to the Stagecoach Music Festival twice and onto stages alongside artists including Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Wanda Jackson, Neko Case, Robert Earl Keen, and many others. Yet underneath the accomplishments is a storyteller who describes himself simply as curious. His favorite color is blue. He comes from Southern California and lives in Long Beach. His T-E-E carries a message particularly meaningful for today's world:Seeking Common Ground.And his story can be summed up in three honest words:Trying. Failing. Learning. Grab your cup as Miss Liz and David dig into the stories behind the songs, the beauty of imperfect people, and why sometimes a honky tonk is about much more than music. Welcome everyone to Teatime with Miss Liz, where we don't just talk about what someone has accomplished—we dig into the experiences, mistakes, lessons, and stories behind it. Tonight we're heading somewhere a little different. Picture a gravel parking lot, a glowing jukebox, a live band, strangers sharing a room, and somebody walking through the door carrying a broken heart. My guest tonight knows how to turn that world into a song. Please welcome David Serby, Southern California country artist, songwriter, and storyteller behind Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk. David has spent years creating songs about real people—the complicated, imperfect kind who try, fail, learn, love, lose, and somehow keep going. He's performed at Stagecoach twice and shared stages with some legendary names in American music, but tonight we're going beyond the stage. David describes himself as curious, and his T-E-E is Seeking Common Ground. His three words tell us exactly where tonight's conversation may take us: Trying. Failing. Learning. David, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. Grab your cup, and let's dig deep. Closing: Tonight wasn't simply a conversation about country music. It was about the people inside the songs. The ones who make mistakes. The ones nursing broken hearts. The ones searching for connection. And the ones who keep trying even after they've failed. David's story reminds us that failure doesn't have to be the final verse. Sometimes it's simply where the learning begins. And perhaps that's where his message of seeking common ground becomes especially important. We may come from different places, believe different things, and live very different lives—but heartbreak, hope, mistakes, laughter, music, and the desire to belong give us more common ground than we sometimes realize. Thank you, David, for bringing your music, curiosity, and stories to the table. David Serby is a Southern California country artist and songwriter whose music blends Bakersfield traditions with modern Americana. A two-time Stagecoach performer, he creates thoughtful songs about flawed, relatable people searching for connection. His album Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk celebrates storytelling, common ground, and life's imperfect journey.#TeatimeWithMissLiz#DavidSerby#BrokenHeartInAHonkyTonk#CountryMusic #SeekingCommonGround

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. This week on the show, we welcome Nashville-based music journalist, critic and author Erin Osmon, to discuss her tremendous book, Won't Back Down: Heartland Rock and the Fight for America, which chronicles how heartland rock, typified by artists like Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, and more, brought a populist, Americana-inspired sound to the airwaves of the radio and MTV. Along the way, Osmon shines a light on lesser heralded artists in the heartland canon, including Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, and Tracy Chapman, explores the impact of the shift from vinyl and tape to compact discs, the ubiquity of synthesizer technology, and the progressive undercurrent that propels this music.  Osmon's writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times, and she's the author of a 33 ⅓ book on John Prine and Jason Molina: Riding with the Ghost. With Won't Back Down, she traces the origins of heartland rock and its influence on artists like The War on Drugs and The Hold Steady, and best of all, offers deep insight into the complex characters of its most notable figures. Especially intriguing is the Indiana-born Osmon's focus on fellow Hoosier John “Cougar” Mellencamp, who emerges as one of the most fascinating characters, a hothead with a leftist heart and punk rock verve.  This year marks the 250th birthday of America, and this conversation was taped this conversation just a few days before the 4th of July. We haven't been feeling all that patriotic—maybe it has something to do with the fascists governing our country and their endless commitment to foreign wars and environmental destruction—but Osmon's book reminds us that this country has at its core something more noble, some promise that has not been stamped out just yet. As the Boss once sang: “Everything dies, baby, that's a fact/But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.”  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The sound of ocean waves, nighttime bugs in harmony, ice clinking in a glass of your favorite beverage, mosquitos buzzing and biting, the thick humid Southern air, the blistering sun beating down on you.

Best listened while outside with the sunset in view, imagining you're at an outdoor music venue (such as the titular Pavilion) - buying rounds of beers that don't cost $20!Then we turn to Lucinda Williams' 1998 breakthrough, "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road." A masterclass in songwriting, with production that sounds great on ANY speaker. Car radio, phone, Turtlebox Ranger™, the speakers at your local record store. These songs allow you to get lost in their rich detail and intense personal and/or semi-biographical storytelling - all while grooving along with a particular flavor of rock and roll that encompasses the blues, zydeco, folk, and punk.LINKSAnimal Collective - Monkey Riches / Brother Sport - Pitchfork Music Festival 2011Lucinda Williams Austin City Limits 2007Send us a text message!You can follow us here:InstagramTwitterTiktokCheck out our preview episodes to stay caught up with what we're listening to!Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you!

Episode 364: As Avery Hellman came of age in California, she took advantage of her good fortune of being from the family that established the game-changing Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in San Francisco. It exposed her to standard-setting songwriting and artistry in folk and roots music, and with a bit of reluctance, she became an artist too under the name Ismay. Her two albums, Desert Pavement and the new Half Truth, are alive with a poet's ear for language and eye for landscape, plus a crafty marriage of melodies and chords. She's also the filmmaker behind the exploratory documentary Finding Lucinda, about Lucinda Williams.

It's raining cats and "Dogs" is something we could have said but didn't when discussing Nina Nastasia's Dogs with Josaleigh Pollett, who much more adeptly walked us through their love of the record, plus shared a WORLD PREMIERE PROBABLY of a new song off their upcoming album, “If I Let It Quiet.” If we three hosts were let to be quiet this podcast might become listenable.Also up for quiet reading hour discussion: Utah is the home of bees and also its own iconic pride flag, it's hard to hear a Zoom from Japan over all the breakfast sandwich mayonaisse, and we are forming a Sly and the Family Stone cover band that plays mozzarella music.Bands referenced in this ep: Wilco, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Bill Callahan, Tin Hat, Lucinda Williams, Sly and the Family Stone.Get a little more of a sneak peek (is it a sneakier peek?) at Josaleigh's new music on Bandcamp: The Witness, Like a River10/10 You're Great is presented by The Alternative.

 We had the best time chatting with Avery Hellman—Ismay—about how ranching and how that was the segway into their music career. We talk about re-writing folk songs, the Woollystar music festival (curated by Avery), and of course Ismay's latest album “Half Truth”  Avery Hellman has been a rancher, an alt-country musician, and, always, a dreamer. But they recently found themself once more while looking for Lucinda Williams. In 2023, Hellman was hard at work on an album, podcast, and documentary delving into the psyche of the country singer-songwriter when they discovered how much poetry played into Williams' general talents. “That was a really big shift for me,” Hellman says. “I was like, ‘Well, why don't I learn how to write poetry?'” Add another job to that resume.    In 2026 Avery helped to launch Fossil Records with Margo Cilker, an indie label whose aim is to capture the expression drawn from seasons of work on ranches and in rural outposts.  ​ Currently, Avery is based in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. ISMAY also curates a music festival called Woollystar.    Be sure to check Ismay out here:   Website: ismaymusic.com  Bandcamp: Ismay  YouTube: Ismay  Instagram: Ismaymusic  FB: Ismay  Fossil Records: fossilrecords.com   Woollystar: Woollystar.com  

This week on Deeper Roots, we're celebrating the women who helped shape Americana music. From pioneering artists who blazed trails through country, folk, blues, and gospel to the remarkable performers carrying those traditions into the 21st century, we'll spend two hours exploring voices that transformed the sound of American roots music. We'll begin with some of the giants of the genre—artists such as the Carter Family, Patsy Cline, and Dolly Parton—women whose talent, determination, and vision helped create the foundation upon which generations would build. Then we'll follow the road they paved through the work of contemporary Americana artists including Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, Margo Price, Sierra Ferrell, and others who continue to redefine and expand the genre today. Join us for a journey through the past, present, and future of Americana music, celebrating the women whose stories, songs, and spirit remain at the very heart of the American musical experience.

867 Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road

Having already penned much-heralded books on both John Prine and Jason Molina, author Erin Osman is now tackling the wide genre of heartland rock — which she defines more by a spiritual and ideological geography, rather than a literal one. And while Bob Seger, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and John Mellancamp round out the Mount Rushmore of sorts for this soundtrack of working class 80's middle-America, Osmon casts a needed spotlight on the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Tracy Chapman, Lucinda Williams and Bruce Hornsby within the pages of 'Won't Back Down,' available now wherever you get literature. On this week's show, Osman expands upon the relationship between art and province, and why the subject matter of 'Won't Back Down' stretches across generations. Plus, details on her current role on the editorial staff of the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Nashville, and how her two decades as a music journalist have led her there. Visit erinosmon.com for more info, past works and a killer playlist of tunes featured in 'Won't Back Down.' Music on this episode is from The Pretty Flowers, available digitally or on vinyl at theprettyflowers.bandcamp.com or forgeagainrecords.bandcamp.com.

This week we're talking to Mike Ness who has led SoCal punk icons Social Distortion since 1978. The band just released Born to Kill which is their first album in 15 years. It's been a long time coming, delayed further by Covid and Mike's cancer diagnosis and successful treatment.   Mike discusses the making of Born to Kill, the '70s inspirations behind it, and working with producer Dave Sardy and collaborators Lucinda Williams and Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. We also talk about how beating cancer energized his desire to make even more music, Social Distortion's upcoming tour with The Descendents and The Chats, early Social D documentary Another State of Mind, playing Little Steven's Underground Garage Cruise, five records he thinks everyone should own, and more.  -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein

Americana/Folk artist Ismay (Avery Hellman) was in a Lucinda Williams cover band started by their father early in her adult life. As a singer-songwriter herself, the musician, rancher and self-identified “dreamer” went looking for more understanding of the legendary singer-songwriter and produced an outstanding documentary called Finding Lucinda. The film documents their journey of more self-discovery than anything else, but their interviews and path to learn more about Lucinda led them to understand Williams grew up the daughter of, and surrounded by poets. The result, besides the beautifully done film, was Hellman decided to learn to write poetry. Those learnings and evolution in their artistry led to their next big project – a new album called Half Truth, due out June 12th on Fossil Records.  Frank and Falls chatted with Hellman about the film, Lucinda Williams, poetry, and the new album on this week's episode of Roots Music Rambler. The trio also discussed Fossil Records, a new label co-founded by Hellman and friend of the show Margo Cilker (see Episode 35). There was a lot to cover and unpack with Hellman's journey and art.

The bluegrass revival of the early 2000s has it's roots in music that was bubbling just under the surface years before. In the 90s there were artists laying the groundwork for what would become this musical phenomenon. Gillian Welch, Uncle Tupelo, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and many other artists were forming the sounds of what was to come. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings put out their album Revival in 1996 and it is not only a stalwart record, it also introduced the world to this new sound. A sound that would serve as a template for so many artists to come. So join me as I take a look at this incredible piece of art. I hope you dig it! 

Americana, Roots, Folk, Blues and Country music.SOUNDS OF THE OVER 70'S. All artists are aged over 70.This all  female  special  includes Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Joni Mitchell and  more.(Ep. 200 is all male  artists.)

Today on the show I speak with 'The Daywalkers' band leaders - Alex Harris MacDonald (vocals/washboard) + Janson Lohmeyer keyboardist/vocals.This was a tough interview for me to post because unfortunately Janson Lohmeyer tragically passed away, only a few days after we had this conversation. I wrestled with myself as to whether or not I should still put it out, but ultimately decided I would - as I believe it could serve as a nice reminder to all of us that knew Janson, as to what a kind soul he truly was. Over the decades 'The Daywalkers' (who fuse Louisiana Roots Music with Cajun, Pop and Zydeco) have developed a reputation as a high quality live band, attracting visiting from all over the world to see the group while visiting the city of New Orleans.Among many notable accolades, the band have released three albums of original material and individually, Janson has appeared on releases by Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), Lucinda Williams and Susan Cowsill. While Alex has held residencies at various Blue Note Jazz Venues with Joe Sample in Japan, has been inducted into the Zydeco Blues Trailride Hall Of Fame class and toured extensively with Louisiana favorite Dwayne Dopsie.During our conversation, we talk about the Bourbon Street scene, hurricane Katrina, musicians healthcare, touring and an array of other topics.For more information on 'The Daywalkers' please visit www.thedaywalkersneworleans.com or visit the band on Facebook.Once again, my deepest condolences to the Lohmeyer family and all of Janson's bandmates and family for the massive loss experienced by his passing.For further information on Travis Marc or 'Musicians-Mentor' website, please visit www.musicians-mentor.com As usual, thanks for checking out the channel and if you're getting anything useful from my content, please feel free to comment, like, share and subscribe, thank you.

Theater director, playwright, and multimedia artist Jared Mezzocchi joins Rhett for a conversation about what it means to make ambitious, technology-forward work without losing the human heart of the story. Mezzocchi shares how he's drawn to projects that seem “impossible” on paper—from a pandemic-era play about content moderation, to a site-specific production about the 1944 Hartford circus fire. He explains why impossibility isn't a deterrent, but an opportunity for experimentation. The conversation moves into the emotional reality of creative life: the grief of letting go after opening night, the dangerous pull of people-pleasing, and the long work of strengthening what Mezzocchi calls a “sense of self.” He reflects on losing his father at 19, how that shaped his relationship to theater and film, and why mortality, impermanence, and presence sit at the center of his work. Rhett and Jared also talk about AI, technology anxiety, and why friction between machines and humanity may actually clarify what makes art—and people—matter.  Follow Jared @jaredmezzocchi Follow Rhett @rhettmiller Wheels Off is hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

Ever heard a song that has a shimmering, "angelic" jangle that sits perfectly above a mix? Or how Buddy Miller creates those haunting, rootsy textures on songs like Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," or Daniel Lanois on Emmylou's Wrecking Ball album?The answer isn't a mandolin, it's the Octave 12-string guitar (often called a mando-guitar). In this video, we're diving into the world of these high-tuned wonders, exploring the gear, the tuning, and the legendary players who made them a staple of modern atmospheric production.Support the show

Rodney Crowell, often called a “songwriter's songwriter” and a foundational voice in Americana, joins Rhett for a conversation about intention, craft, and the long game of staying creatively alive. Crowell shares hard-won lessons about process: how spending time on memoir pages puts him in a “workshop of words,” so that when he turns back to the guitar he's already thinking in language. He talks about patience as the difference between forcing a song and letting it reveal itself, his approach to collaboration, the discipline of revision, and how creative confidence is built the unglamorous way: by showing up for the work, again and again. His new album “Airline Highway” is available now. Follow Rodney @rodneyjcrowell Follow Rhett @rhettmiller Wheels Off is hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

Today's Song of the Day is “The World's Gone Wrong feat. Brittney Spencer” from Lucinda Williams' album World's Gone Wrong, out January 23.

Writer David Fleming joins Rhett to dig into craft, career pivots, and the true story behind A Big Mess in Texas—the wild rise-and-fall of the 1952 Dallas Texans (owned by Rhett's grandfather). Fleming talks about finding meaning in real life, learning to “disappear” as a writer, managing deadlines without losing your mind, and why the work (not the label) is what matters. It's a candid, funny, and generous conversation about storytelling, identity, and doing your best work—whether you call it sports writing or just great writing. David Fleming is a Peabody-nominated correspondent for Meadowlark Media, longtime ESPN senior writer, author of Who's Your Founding Father?; Breaker Boys; Noah's Rainbow; and, A BIG MESS IN TEXAS - The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and The Craziest Untold Story in NFL History.
