This episode was recorded on August 18th, 2024 at the Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center. The lineup includes Paul Thorn, Raul Midón, Wood Box Heroes, Eden Brent, and Jett Holden. https://bit.ly/4dJSWAq

After releasing a pair of early albums, he got married, and became a father, and while he eventually returned to the business he'd founded, he remained as dedicated as ever to his craft. In 2014, he recorded his third album, Two Truths and a Lie, which introduced him to Avatar Studios (a New York landmark previously known as The Power Station, where icons like Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, David Bowie and Bob Dylan had recorded). Upon learning the studio was under threat of being sold, Pete Muller decided to use his resources in partnership with the City of New York and the Berklee College of Music to save, renovate, and re-launch the space as a world-class recording and educational facility. He would go on to record his next two albums—2019's Dissolve and 2022's Spaces—there, launching a whole new chapter of his career that would find him sharing bills with artists like Joan Osborne, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Tayler, and Paul Thorn in addition to landing festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux.  His newest album More Time, Pete Muller has harnessed this passion and infused it into his most striking and bold set of songs to date and the focus of our discussion today. Ladies and gentlemen, Pete Muller's newest album More Time was recorded in Memphis with producer/engineer Matt Ross-Spang, the collaboration with Muller is apparent across the entire record. Together they crafted a collection of a looser, grittier slice of rock and soul without sacrificing the open-hearted, expansive nature of Pete's songwriting. No less prominent is the all-star band assembled for the sessions, including celebrated bassist Dave Smith (Al Green, Wilson Pickett), famed Texas guitarist Will Sexton (Joe Ely, Roky Erickson), Memphis organist Rick Steff (Lucero, Cat Power), longtime Wilco drummer Ken Coomer, and a host of local legend horn players and background vocalists. Pete Muller's album More Time is exactly what it gives the listener. More time to enjoy the authentic vocals and sounds that come from real musicians bringing sheet music to life. His collections of songs has something for everyone. If you rock, soul, blues, jazz, easy listening, then your ears will be filled with joy and put a smile on your face. You find his new album More Time on Spotify so check it out. #petemuller #morganstanley #powerstationstudio #rockandsoul #rockmusic #easylistening #brucespringsteen #paulsimon #davidbowie #duranduran #bobdylan #newalbum #newmusic #interview #talkshow

These colorful songbirds look more like they're preparing to rob a bank or go on a secret mission rather than hunt for insects or a mate.  Or, how about the double-crested Cormorant? With a wing span averaging nearly four feet across, this water bird is among the largest found in West Virginia.  Visit the WVDNR online to learn more about bird of West Virginia and how to make your property more bird friendly.

Mississippi Today's Bobby Harrison and Geoff Pender take a break from political world (kind of) to talk with Mississippi singer/songwriter Paul Thorn about his music and his diverse life's experiences. Thorn grew up in a conservative church before making a mark as a boxer and then a storyteller, writing and singing songs about Americana. 

Corey Hunley is a natural-born entertainer, just a guy passing through life with a guitar in his hand and a song in his head. He has been fortunate enough to share the stage with renowned musicians like Marty Stuart, Darrell Scott, Will Hoge, John Hiatt, Paul Thorn, Colbie Caillat, Uncle Kracker, and a few other cool folks. As a singer-songwriter, Corey possesses the ability to captivate his audience. He's not only a good singer but also a helluva songwriter and an all-around fine guitarist. Corey's music has a way of making you want to drink harder, love stronger, and live longer.

"There's no rules when it comes to art - it's what you want to do." That quote helps paint a picture of our conversation with the incredible songwriter Paul Thorn. Join us for this episode as Leslie Lee delves into musician Paul Thorn's deeply rooted Mississippi upbringing, where the collision of country western and rhythm and blues influences shaped his music, while he navigates the changing landscape of the music industry and grapples with the challenge of capturing listeners in an oversaturated digital era. Paul's relatable lyrics and soul-touching melodies not only make for unforgettable tunes but also establish him as an artist that pushes boundaries - a trait evident in his exploration of visual art, that includes creating collages from things he finds on his travels. You won't want to miss this episode!

A litte bit of info on Paul Thorn and a whole lot of randomness.

This week's show is a free form romp featuring Tommy, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant, Bill Kirchen, Corb Lund, Bob Wills, Paul Thorn, and a couple dozen others.

So what do you do if you are an emerging female country artist in Nashville, and also happen to be the granddaughter of musical icon, Willie Nelson? You hook up with an independent producer and veteran of the rock/punk scene, write some songs that are part Loretta Lynn, part Cheap Trick, and form the Raelyn Nelson Band. "I don't really have any desire to be a  'solo-artist'. Everyone in my family who plays music has always placed a lot of importance on band chemistry, on stage, off stage and in the studio. Our band can almost read each other's minds. Why would I mess with that? We try to keep it simple: Write songs we like, record them, make a video, then go out and play them for people."- Raelyn NelsonOLIVIA FAYEOlivia Faye is a country/pop singer/songwriter and actress who hails from Murray, Kentucky. Growing up in a family of music lovers, her musical stylings pay homage to many of the early icons of country music, blues and classic rock. Olivia moved to Nashville at 19, and quickly acclimated to a life in Music City as a songwriter and performer. Her smooth, bluesy vocals and catchy tunes have won her numerous invitations to perform throughout Nashville and beyond, her favorite being Puckett's of Leiper's Fork, Tennessee where she is a regular.

The Morning Dish interview with Paul Thorn. He toured with the likes of Sting, Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt and Jeff Beck, and I think the most underrated musicians of our time. I love his music and you will too!

SUMMARYOur guest is critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter Paul Thorn, who has carved out an independent career from his home base in Tupelo, Mississippi, that has earned him legions of dedicated fans. His latest release is a highly personal album titled Never Too Late to Call. PART ONEPaul and Scott chat about the Grammy Awards, somehow find a way to make it all about them, and figure out that being a guest on Songcraft is a great way to get a Grammy nomination. PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Paul ThornABOUT PAUL THORNTupelo, Mississippi, native Paul Thorn started out as a professional boxer before being discovered by Miles Copeland and signing a recording contract with A&M Records. Thorn eventually struck out on his own and formed the independent Perpetual Obscurity Records with manager and songwriting partner Billy Maddox. They've gone on to release nine studio albums, four of which have hit the Billboard charts. All Music writes that Thorn's catalog has “balanced blues, rock, gospel, country, and soul in a singular strain of Americana with songs that embrace the human condition with their humor, irony, pathos, tenderness, heartbreak, grief, anger, and joy.” Though his songs have been recorded by Shenandoah, Tanya Tucker, Toby Keith, Sawyer Brown, Kim Richey, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jerry Jeff Walker, Diane Schuur, and others, nobody delivers a Paul Thorn song with the same touch as the man himself. From “It's a Great Day to Whup Somebody's Ass” to “Pimps & Preachers” to “I Don't Like Half the Folks I Love” to “Mission Temple Fireworks Stand,” Paul's diverse catalog has built a dedicated audience who love his unique sense of the craft and his mesmerizing skills as a performer. His latest album, produced by Matt Ross-Spang in Memphis, is Never Too Late to Call.

I am Steven Phillips with Lake 97.7 WJUL Radio. I do a live talk show every morning from 8-9 eastern time called “The Morning Dish”. I won the 2017 and 2020 best On-Air Personality of the Year for the state of Georgia. Our station is rated #1 five years running and my show is the biggest and at 9 years, the longest running show in the North Georgia and Western North Carolina mountains. With the Nielsen ratings in this year 23,900 out of 88,700 total people listen to us each week. That's amazing, considering how many people listen to satellite or internet radio and don't listen to AM/FM. I have interviewed lots of people in these 9 years. It is more comedy than serious; we like to call it “unfair and unbalanced”.Some of the people that I have interviewed are Mark Farner, Paul Roberts (Sniff “n” the Tears), Tommy Emmanuel, Chuck Leavell, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Paul Teutul Sr, Matt King, Stuart Margolin (Angel Martin on Rockford Files), Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke), Charles Bernstein, Scott Innes (the official voice of Scooby Doo), Markos Papadatos, Josh Morningstar, John Schneider, Barry Corbin, Rodney Justo, Barton Gilliam, Reno Collier, Adam Boyer, T Graham Brown, Jon Reep, Brande Roderick, Georgette Jones, Cindy Wills, Thomas Gabriel, Bo Hopkins, Don McLean, Ronnie Millsap, Kyle Bush, Dean Miller, Gigi Garner, Sonny Sawyer, Whitney Miller, James Gregory, Gary Chapman, Sid Davis, Paul Thorn, who regularly calls into the show and some people we would be ashamed to mention and the list keeps growing. It is a good time with dedicated listeners.You can listen in live every morning at wjulradio.com or listen to past shows on the YouTube Channel “Steven Phillips with The Morning Dish”.

Steven Phillips and the Midnight Express is a group of musicians that have come together and formed one of the best country/southern rock bands you've heard in a long time featuring a wide variety of original songs including “Lightning Road” and “Brayton Mountain” which are getting high ratings. Steven also is with Lake 97.7 WJUL Radio. He does a live talk show every morning from 8-9 eastern time called “The Morning Dish”. He won the 2017 and 2020 best On-Air Personality of the Year for the state of Georgia. Our station is rated #1 five years running and my show is the biggest and at 9 years, the longest running show in the North Georgia and Western North Carolina mountains. With the Nielsen ratings in this year 23,900 out of 88,700 total people listen to us each week. That's amazing, considering how many people listen to satellite or internet radio and don't listen to AM/FM. I have interviewed lots of people in these 9 years. It is more comedy than serious; we like to call it “unfair and unbalanced”.Some of the people that he has interviewed are Mark Farner, Paul Roberts (Sniff “n” the Tears), Tommy Emmanuel, Chuck Leavell, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Paul Teutul Sr, Matt King, Stuart Margolin (Angel Martin on Rockford Files), Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke), Charles Bernstein, Scott Innes (the official voice of Scooby Doo), Markos Papadatos, Josh Morningstar, John Schneider, Barry Corbin, Rodney Justo, Barton Gilliam, Reno Collier, Adam Boyer, T Graham Brown, Jon Reep, Brande Roderick, Georgette Jones, Cindy Wills, Thomas Gabriel, Bo Hopkins, Don McLean, Ronnie Millsap, Kyle Bush, Dean Miller, Gigi Garner, Sonny Sawyer, Whitney Miller, James Gregory, Gary Chapman, Sid Davis, Paul Thorn, who regularly calls into the show and some people we would be ashamed to mention and the list keeps growing. It is a good time with dedicated listeners.You can listen in live every morning at wjulradio.com or listen to past shows on the YouTube Channel “Steven Phillips with The Morning Dish”.

Some years ago I happened to see Paul Thorn performing on an outdoor stage at a street festival in the heart of a small Mississippi town. Suddenly, in mid song, Thorn stopped playing and looked down at the upturned, sugar-splattered face of a fan on the front row. “I sure would like me a funnel cake,” Thorn announced. The crowd exploded with laughter. By the end of the next song, someone in the audience had responded, and soon Thorn was happily munching on the doughy confection.And that, dear people, is one more shining example of how Paul Thorn is able to breathe in the air around him, everyday and commonplace, and exhale something original and often side-splitting funny. It's a kind of genius, and it's there plain to see, in his music, his art and through his performances, which not only showcase his chops as a singer-songwriter, but as a pitch-perfect improv comic.His audiences love it. And they come back for more because no two Paul Thorn performances are alike. For further confirmation of this, check out Thorn's YouTube videos, though I warn you. You will find yourself a long time in this rabbit hole.We live in a world where the terms “artist” and “genius” have been rendered meaningless through overuse. To use either in describing Thorn, though, is not overreach. Pick up any of his dozen or so CDs. The evidence is plain to see. Just listen.The scenery of Thorn's rural South is changing. The trailer parks, gravel roads around Tupelo and high school beauty queens flicker in the rear-view mirror.

Unless you closely follow the Americana music circuit, the name Paul Thorn may sound more like an elegant fashion brand rather than one of the more distinctive singer-songwriters out today. But the Mississippi-raised Thorn – a former championship caliber professional boxer who once fought the great Roberto Duran – has one of the more unique styles today blending blues, folk, funk, gospel, country and rock that pack quite the punch. Think Lyle Lovett with a voice more along the lines of Marc Cohn. Thorn is the son of a preacher whose uncle was once a pimp, and he brings a tangible passion to everything he does – you feel it in our conversation. There's an intensity behind every word, every thought, every feeling. And it makes for a compelling conversation with Paul Thorn. Enjoy.

The son of a preacher man, Mississippi-raised Thorn spent much of his childhood in church, participating in multiple weekly services with his father as well as at neighboring African American congregations, where he became entranced with the music whose infectious spirit is captured on the new album.Don't Let the Devil Ride collects soulful songs originally cut by black southern gospel groups and features guests the Blind Boys of Alabama, The McCrary Sisters, the Preservation Hall Jazz Horns, and Bonnie Bishop.The album was recorded at three temples of sound: the Sam C. Phillips Recording studio, whose namesake gave another son of Tupelo his start; at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, where Thorn worked as a songwriter for legendary producer Rick Hall early in his career; and at Preservation Hall, where horn players from the celebrated jazz venue lent songs a New Orleans vibe.The new release marks Thorn's first time recording gospel music after a dozen albums in roots-rock mode, though his upbringing has previously been reflected in his creation of a body of strikingly original songs. In his own songwriting, Thorn often addresses the foibles of human relationships, although he doesn't favor the sacred over the profane.As an accomplished painter, former professional boxer, and seasoned skydiver, Thorn has never shied away from new challenges, but cutting a gospel record was just like going home.Thorn's father Wayne was a bishop in the Church of God of Prophecy, a Pentecostal denomination, and Thorn was just three when he began singing and playing tambourine at services. Congregational participation was valued more than skilled soloists, and Thorn also found a showcase for his talents at Saturday night "singings."But his most memorable musical experiences were at an African American branch of his father's church, the Okolona Sunrise Church of Prophecy. "There might be ten people playing the tambourine, but the rhythm was locked in, and they'd let me play bass. I loved the Appalachian gospel of my parents' church, but it was a treat to play with those musicians. They worshiped in a different way and the music was different, and I feel blessed to have been in that church setting."The sermons in Church of God of Prophecy churches warned sinners of fire and brimstone and it wasn't uncommon for congregants for congregants to speak in tongues. But the lasting legacy for Thorn wasn't a strong sense of guilt as it was for many others who grew up in Pentecostal churches. "I think that they use guilt to intimidate you, but I don't buy into that anymore. There ain't no love in that."Instead he continues to be inspired by the strong sense of communion that was fostered by musical fellowship. "One of things that I take a lot of pride in is that I love everybody, and what I learned in church paid dividends. When I'm up there entertaining it's also a glimpse of what my life has been and how gospel music has molded me into who I am."Thorn's parents wouldn't allow him listen to secular music at home (in his teens, he had to hide his only two LPs - Elton John and Huey Lewis - from his father), so he listened at friends' houses to Kiss, Peter Frampton, and the bawdy "chitlin' circuit" comedy albums that he credits with inspiring the dark sense of humor that pervades his lyrics. But gospel music remains Thorn's most abiding musical touchstone, the sound that first stirred his soul.He was just 14 when sometime gospel artist Elvis Presley died - "The world stood still in Tupelo," he recalls - and while the King's records weren't a major influence, Thorn emphasizes the similarity of their early experiences."Elvis literally went to a lot of the same churches I did. It's almost identical how we started. When they filmed him from the waist up it wasn't vulgar, it was the moves he learned in church, dancing in the   Read more at www.paulthorn.com

Paul Thorn is an accomplished songwriter with an array of artists who have cut his songs. Tanya Tucker, Billy Rae Cyrus, and Jerry Jeff Walker have all covered his tunes. That's incredible enough, but he's also made a name for himself as a performer as well. He has a dry southern wit that informs his lyrics, and a laid back style that draws you in and makes you feel at home. His latest album is an exploration of these influences and I had a chance to chat with him recently about it. I hope ya dig it.
