Adrian Belew has spent his career on the cutting edge of guitar sounds, inventing the most forward-thinking tones to ever appear on record. His work as a solo artist and with King Crimson would be enough to land him on every guitarist's radar. But that's just one facet of his musical life, and he's famously spent time with some of the biggest artists of all time: David Bowie, Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, Nine Inch Nails. He even appears in places you'd never expect experimental guitar, like Paul Simon's “You Can Call Me Al.”To talk about Adrian, we called up Blair White. As co-owner of Nashville's Eastside Music Supply, White and Belew struck up a friendship and they ended up working together to decode some of the tones that Belew needed for the much-lauded Beat tour and beyond. Blair gives us some insight into Belew's playing, his process, and helps us solve a mystery.Sponsored by Vega-Trem: vegatrem.comFollow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickmillevoiFollow Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jasonshadrickGet at us: 100guitarists@premierguitar.comCall/Text: 319-423-9734Podcast powered by Sweetwater.

DION DiMucci: The Bronx Legend Who Bridged Doo-Wop, Rock, and the Blues

A Breath of Fresh Air

Few names shine as brightly in the story of American rock and roll as Dion DiMucci. Known to fans worldwide simply as Dion, this Bronx-born legend isn't just another voice from the golden age of doo-wop—he's one of the few artists who managed to bridge the gap between early rock, blues, folk, and contemporary roots music. With a career spanning more than six decades, Dion has gone from street-corner harmony to global acclaim, influencing generations along the way.Born in 1939, in the Bronx, Dion grew up surrounded by rhythm, radio, and raw emotion. Those bustling city streets were alive with music—doo-wop groups harmonizing on stoops, gospel voices in local churches, and the pulse of rhythm and blues drifting from open windows. That mix became Dion's musical DNA.As a teenager, Dion formed Dion and the Belmonts, named after a Bronx street. Their blend of silky harmonies and streetwise swagger set them apart from other vocal groups of the era. Songs like “I Wonder Why,” “A Teenager in Love,” and “Where or When” became instant classics—defining the sound of late 1950s rock and roll and turning Dion into a household name.Breaking Out Solo with “Runaround Sue” and “The Wanderer”When Dion went solo in 1960, he didn't miss a beat. His breakout single “Runaround Sue” soared to number one, followed closely by “The Wanderer.” With its unforgettable swagger and sing-along chorus, “The Wanderer” captured Dion's street-smart confidence and has since become one of the most covered songs in rock history.These weren't just catchy pop tunes—they were the soundtrack of youth in postwar America. Dion's voice carried a blend of toughness and tenderness that spoke to millions. He was the rebel with heart, the Bronx kid who brought soul and honesty to early rock 'n' roll.Like many stars of his generation, Dion faced personal struggles as fame took its toll. The pressures of the road and the darker side of the music industry led to battles with addiction. But in classic Dion fashion, he turned those hardships into growth. After finding sobriety and rediscovering his faith in the late 1960s, Dion re-emerged with a deeper, more introspective sound.His 1968 hit “Abraham, Martin and John” marked a turning point. A moving tribute to Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Kennedy brothers, the song revealed a new side of Dion—soulful, reflective, and socially aware. It became one of the defining tracks of its era, reminding fans that Dion wasn't just a rock singer—he was a storyteller with something meaningful to say.Rediscovering the BluesThrough the '70s and beyond, Dion continued to evolve, diving deep into his earliest musical love—the blues. Albums like “Bronx in Blue” (2006) and “Son of Skip James” (2007) showed a raw, authentic artist at work. His 2020 release “Blues with Friends” brought together an all-star lineup including Bruce Springsteen, Billy Gibbons, Paul Simon, and Jeff Beck. The record earned rave reviews, proving that Dion's voice and songwriting remain as powerful and relevant as ever.Dion's influence stretches across generations. From Bob Dylan and Lou Reed to Bruce Springsteen, countless artists have cited him as a major inspiration. His ability to blend doo-wop sweetness, rock grit, and blues soul has kept his music timeless—and his storytelling authentic.In '89, Dion was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cementing his status as one of the genre's founding fathers. But more than awards or accolades, Dion's true legacy lies in his unwavering authenticity. He's never chased trends; he's chased truth.In an age where musical fads come and go, Dion's story reminds us what staying power really looks like. His career is a masterclass in reinvention. Whether he's singing about heartbreak, hope, or redemption, Dion remains one of rock's most honest voices.Six decades on, the Bronx-born rock legend is still doing what he's always done best—telling stories that sound like they were written just for you.

1975 ergattert Paul Simon mit seinem Album "Still Crazy After All These Years" eine der begehrtesten Musiktrophäen überhaupt: den Grammy für das "Album des Jahres". Neben dem Grammy für das "Album des Jahres" konnte Paul Simon auch noch die Trophäe für die "beste männliche Gesangsdarbietung" abräumen. Besonders gefreut haben dürfte ihn aber auch, dass das Album bei seinen Fans so gut angekommen ist. Millionenfach hat sich die Platte verkauft. Ein Grund dafür ist womöglich einer der größten Hits des Albums, "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover". Vor seiner Solokarriere war Paul Simon bereits ein Star; als Teil des Duos Simon & Garfunkel hatten die beiden Hits wie "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Mrs. Robinson" und "Sound Of Silence". Als Solokünstler wollte Paul Simon weg von der Folkmusik und sich in anderen Genres ausprobieren. Das hören wir nicht nur auf dem Album "Still Crazy After All These Years", sondern auch auf den vorherigen Platten und ganz besonders auch auf dem späteren Album "Graceland", auf dem Paul Simon sich auch der Weltmusik zuwendet. Für SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig ist dieses Album vor allem ein Jazzalbum, wie er im Podcast erklärt. Und für den Jazz auf Weltklasse-Niveau hat sich der ehemalige Folkmusiker Paul Simon eine lange Liste exzellenter Gastmusiker ins Studio geholt. Außerdem hat Simon seine persönlichen Fähigkeiten erweitert. Vor dem Album hat er sich intensiv mit Musiktheorie und Harmonielehre auseinandergesetzt, und das merkt man dem Album an, erklärt Katharina Heinius im Podcast. Kurz bevor das Album entstanden ist, hatte Paul Simon sich von seiner langjährigen Beziehung getrennt. Gleichzeitig ist er mit seinem musikalischen Partner Art Garfunkel  zum Weltstar aufgestiegen – und das alles, obwohl er erst Mitte 30 war, als er das Album gemacht hat. Man kann also sagen, dass Paul Simon bis dahin schon viel erlebt hatte. Deshalb ist es auch nur passend, dass es auf dem Album "Still Crazy After All These Years" zu vielen Teilen um Erlebtes und um Erinnerungen jeglicher Art geht und man – so sagt es der Titel – immer noch verrückt ist. Wir hören auf "Still Crazy..." ganz viele verschiedene Musikstile. Es ist viel Jazz dabei, Soul und auch Gospel. Wir hören, wie Paul Simon sich vom Folk abhebt und sich in unterschiedlichsten Musikrichtungen ausprobiert – mit Erfolg. Dieses Album ist ein ganz wichtiger Baustein in der Entwicklung von Paul Simon, erklärt Katharina Heinius im Meilensteine Podcast zu "Still Crazy After All These Years". __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Still Crazy After All These Years" wird im Podcast gesprochen (13:15) – "Still Crazy After All These Years"(32:26) – "My Little Town"(41:48) – "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"(55:34) – "Gone At Last"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Still Crazy After All These Years" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/paul_simon_still_crazy_after_all_these_years __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about songs we hate to love.  Show notes: Surprised at how good the Who were in concert despite their advanced age Songs we hate to love, not necessarily guilty pleasures Things we were embarrassed to say we liked when we were in school Most of our picks were from when we were kids Jay: I liked hard rock and metal and would never admit I liked poppier stuff like Duran Duran Jay: In doing research, I discovered there was a "rock" version of the Lord's Prayer that was a minor hit in 1973 Phil: ABBA wrote some pop classics When REO Speedwagon had that one huge album AOR was huge in the early '80s Jay: I loved KISS's disco song, but never got into the band Phil: Listened to a lot of Manilow as a kid Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" captured that swinging '60s vibe The pop goodness of the Association Phil: The band Boston has been played to death in these parts, but they had their moment Controversial choice: Phil likes the worst Genesis song Dumb song, dumb video When Eddie Murphy became a pop star Phil also likes Crazytown's hit Released at the height of nu metal/rap rock Jay: Begrudgingly liked Animotion's big hit First album Jay had as a kid was by Glen Campbell Campbell wasn't a typical country singer Jay: Got into some of Paul Simon's mid-70s solo work Getting into early Loverboy deep cuts Billy Joel wrote a lot of bad songs, but a few good ones Jay: Always a big fan of "Rump Shaker" ABC was good at the foppish synth pop Jay: I hate everything about Smash Mouth except their first single Totally dig one George Michael song above all others Late '70s pop blast from M Foreigner struck gold with catchy rock jams To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through Apple Podcasts.

Carrie Fisher once dropped acid in the desert with Paul Simon. She did ayahuasca in the Amazon jungle, where she was attacked by a giant snake that may or may not have been real. She did so much cocaine that legendary partyman John Belushi told her to ease up. Her mood swings were such a dramatic part of her personality that she gave them their own names. And her personality was so galvanizing that it became an avatar for real-life resistance fighters.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring our own podcast host and trumpeter John Snell, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass.

Many of you have met him in person over the years, and with our increasing number of video episodes, you have a better sense for what he's like.   Yet his story has only emerged in bits and pieces over all that time and all those episodes, and warrants the spotlight just as much as any of the wonderful guests who have stopped by the podcast since 2013.   And who better to interview John than the gregariously awesome Vinnie Ciesielski, who was himself a guest on The Other Side of the Bell, Episode #93 back in September of 2021.   Vinnie and John chat about how John grew up to follow in the footsteps of his professional trumpet-playing father, Keith Snell, yet forged his own path through his education, musical styles and interests, before a sudden complete career U-turn that proved to give him another solid professional foundation, alongside his continued passion for music.   And behind it all, for the past 20+ years, there's been Bob Reeves Brass. John talks about first meeting Bob and being taken under his wing, before returning with a law degree in hand to rescue the business, provide stability for Bob and his wife into retirement, and maintaining Bob's principled approach to business and customer service.   Thank you to Vinnie for encouraging the idea and bringing this episode to life, and thank you to all of our wonderful listeners and viewers for your continued support.   Don't forget to share this and other episodes with your friends in the trumpet world and beyond, and send us your thoughts and feedback!

Barry and Abigail discuss Navy Blues by Sloan and sample three Canadian beers: Labatt Blue from Labatt Brewing Company, Moosehead Canadian Lager from Moosehead Breweries Limited, and Life in the Clouds from Collective Arts Brewing.The delightful can art of Life in the Clouds was designed by Joe Boyd.Navy Blues was entered into our Jukebox long ago by Paul Zawacki during our episode Bonus: A Dozen Updates (The Procession Reunion Special). He described Sloan as the Canadian Beatles, comparing One Chord to Another to the White Album (we have officially gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album!) and Navy Blues to Abbey Road.In preparation for this episode, Abigail listened through Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Love by The Beatles.Revolver is one of Barry's favorite Beatles albums. He compared the throat clear at the beginning of She Says What She Means to George Harrison's counting on Taxman, the opening track of Revolver.Barry then compared C'mon C'mon to Good Day Sunshine, also off Revolver.…He then compared Iggy & Angus to The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana) by The Banana Splits.…Then, collectively, they compared Sinking Ships to Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney.Barry "complained" about the sirens in Money City Maniacs, which reminded Abigail of the sounds of cars whizzing by underlying Lonely Boy by The Black Keys.Abigail had confusion over Seems So Heavy, which by title alone seems to be a rip-off of/tribute to I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles. Later, she would compare the opening couple of notes of Suppose They Close the Door to the opening couple of notes of I Want You (She's So Heavy).Abigail shared that one of the best meals she ever ate was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, from where Sloan originated. She ate sea-cuterie at Waterfront Warehouse.Barry compared the piano in Chester the Molester to the piano in Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by The Beatles.We briefly discussed James Taylor's eponymous debut album, which was released on The Beatles' Apple Records (the first non-British artist on the label), was recorded at Trident Studios concurrently with the White Album, and features Paul McCartney and George Harrison on bass guitar and backing vocals, respectively! But Barry had part of the story backward - Something in the Way She Moves inspired the opening line of Harrison's Something, not the other way around.

This week…. An encore of our 2016 conversation with legendary musician Paul Simon.  Paul Simon first gained prominence in the 1960s as one-half of duo Simon and Garfunkel. Their hits included The Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, and songs from their fifth and final album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. Simon expanded his music beyond traditional American folk rock in a highly successful solo career that included platinum selling albums like Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints. He was twice inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.On June 6, 2016, Simon came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to writer Dave Eggers about his painstaking process, in which he has sometimes taken more than two years to finish a single song -  and about the physics of sound. At the time this program was recorded, Simon was touring and had just performed two concerts at Berkeley's Greek Theater.  In 2018, he announced he was retiring from public performance, in part because of hearing issues. but in 2025, at the age of 83, he returned to the stage with “A Quiet Celebration Tour”.

The forceful music that rolled out of Muscle Shoals in the 1960s and 1970s shaped hits by everyone from Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin to the Rolling Stones and Paul Simon. Christopher M. Reali's in-depth look at the fabled musical hotbed examines the events and factors that gave the Muscle Shoals sound such a potent cultural power. Many artists trekked to FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound in search of the sound of authentic southern Black music—and at times expressed shock at the mostly white studio musicians waiting to play it for them. Others hoped to draw on the hitmaking production process that defined the scene. Reali also chronicles the overlooked history of Muscle Shoals's impact on country music and describes the region's recent transformation into a tourism destination. Multifaceted and informed, Music and Mystique in Muscle Shoals (University of Illinois Press, 2022) reveals the people, places, and events behind one of the most legendary recording scenes in American history. Dr. Christopher Reali is an assistant professor of music at Ramapo College of New Jersey. Emily Ruth Allen (@emmyru91) holds a Ph.D. in musicology from Florida State University. Her current research focuses on parade musics in Mobile, Alabama's carnival. Learn more about your ad choices.
