Cindy Bullens Sang With Elton, But Cidny Bullens Got The Moves Like Jagger There are more facets to Cidney Bullens than there are to the Hope Diamond… and they're all fascinating! The two-time Grammy nominee, who sang with Elton John and Bob Dylan, tells how and why he chose to tour with Elton and pass on Dylan. What a choice for a young rocker from Massachusetts to have to make. How he met Sir Elton, and how a momentary encounter led to the gig and friendship of a lifetime, and how youth, and addiction cost him said gig two plus years later. The friendship has endured all these decades. Sobering up in his early 20s, having already had extraordinary success, and then singing with Rod Stewart, long-time pal, Bonnie Raitt, and Don Everly, to name but a few, singing lead on three songs on the 8x platinum-selling Grease soundtrack, earning his first Grammy nod, and his second for Survivor off his first solo album, Desire Wire. He left the biz for a decade to raise a family, then returned with more solo work and formed The Reugees with Wendy Waldman and Deborah Holland. Soon after, Cindy became Cidny. That's a story… woven throughout his whole story. Cid told the story in his one-man show, Somewhere Between: Not An Ordinary Life, and in his sensational memoir, Transelectric. Cid's currently resurrecting Somewhere Between and will be touring with it, starting this summer. Has it ever been more relevant and important? Cid told us of always feeling male and how that translated to being a sister, daughter, wife, mother, grandfather, and husband. This is not a simple story, and a far more complex life, made more so by parental tragedy. Cid did not always live with grace, but lessons were learned, and the man who sat before us is wiser, stronger, and… softer. A friend for the last many years, I've had the good fortune to bear witness to Cid's many talents, as an actor in the brilliant new musical, The Civility of Albert Cashier, where Cid portrayed a true-life character whose life in some ways mirrored his own, in concert with The Refugees, and I was honored to be asked to blurb his memoir, Transelectric. Cid is a treasured friend with a story that screams to be heard, especially today. For all things Cid… his show dates, signed copies of his book, and all of his music, visit www.cidnybullens.com - what a life!

Renowned Danish chef Trine Hahnemann tells Sahar Zand how she combines the concept of hygge with her cooking. Hygge is a word that is embedded in the Danish language. It's about relaxing and taking time away from the daily rush to enjoy life's quieter pleasures. And yet, Trine finds the time to write cookery books (over 20 so far), and run cookery lessons from the kitchen in her family home in Copenhagen. She tells Sahar how she does it, as she prepares a comforting meal of freshly harvested vegetables, and explains how she started her culinary career by cooking for rock stars on tour, including Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Rolling Stones and Elton John.

“That kind of put soccer on my radar as a sport. I saw how deeply it meant to people, in a way I didn't appreciate prior to that. And then I was in London when the World Cup began, and I saw the opening match — Argentina and Cameroon, with Cameroon winning in an upset. Just the whole spectacle of it gave me an appreciation for the game.” — Brian Bunk, on Ireland, Italia '90, and the moment everything changed Not long now. Only seven days until the World Cup begins. Just enough time to read Brian D. Bunk's new The Shortest History of Soccer: From Ancient Kicking Games to the World's Most Popular Sport. History isn't Bunk with Brian. He looks a bit like Elton John, which is appropriate given that old Rocket Man was chairman of Watford and bankrolled the tiny English club to almost winning the league. Pop stars like Ed Sheeran (Ipswich) and Robert Plant (Wolves) love football, Bunk notes. Probably because it reminds them of where they came from. Bunk's thesis is that soccer's global dominance is not accidental. Born in the industrial communities of nineteenth-century England, the game gave workers a new identity, new evidence of their collective power, proof they'll never walk alone. That same logic explains why middle-aged men all over America religiously gather at their local bars to watch English teams with strange names like Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Such is religion in our globalised post-industrial age. “Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that,” the great Liverpool manager Bill Shankly quipped. That's the shortest of short histories of football. What the working-class Shankly meant was that it gives us social meaning — which is, indeed, more historically significant than the life or death of a single individual. Or even God. Football saves our souls, Brian Bunk concurs with Bill Shankly. Enjoy the World Cup. Five Takeaways • Soccer Was Born in Industrial Communities for a Reason: The game emerged in industrial Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century not by accident but because industrialisation had shattered traditional community life. Mass migration to cities, technological disruption, the loss of familiar rhythms — all created a need for new kinds of identity and belonging. Soccer filled that need. It gave factory workers a team to follow, a ground to gather at, a shared identity that transcended ethnic and class lines. Bunk's argument: this community function is baked into the game itself, which is why it has replicated across every culture it has touched. • Why Americans Love the Premier League: Bunk identifies the 1990s as the pivotal decade for American soccer. The 1994 World Cup on home soil. The women's World Cup. The formation of MLS. The arrival of the FIFA video game. The Premier League broadcasting deals with ESPN and Fox. All of these combined and snowballed. Add to that the NFL owners investing in English clubs, the celebrity ownership wave (Ryan Reynolds, Elton John), and the cultural footprint of shows like Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham. The result: a generation of Americans for whom following the Premier League is a primary source of community. • Maradona: All the Contradictions of Football in One Man: Asked which historical match he would most want to attend, Bunk chooses Mexico City, June 1986: Argentina vs England. Not for the Hand of God goal — which was cheating — but for the second goal, the one where Maradona picked up the ball in his own half, went past five English players, and scored what is generally considered the greatest goal in the history of the game. Bryon Butler's BBC radio commentary: “turning like a little eel.” Andrew's verdict: if any single figure captures all the genius, joy, turbulence, and tragedy of football, it is Maradona. • The World Cup Returns to North America: In seven days, the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — the first time the tournament has returned to North America since the USA hosted in 1994. The timing of Bunk's book is deliberate. Soccer is more popular in America than at any point in history, and the home World Cup is the event that could push it into the first tier of American sports culture. The Premier League, MLS, women's soccer, and now the World Cup: the game's US footprint is larger than it has ever been. • Andrew's Game: Tottenham vs Benfica, April 1962: Andrew's own fantasy match, offered unprompted at the end: the first leg of the 1962 European Cup semi-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Benfica at the Est00e1dio da Luz in Lisbon on March 20, 1962, with Eusebio and Jimmy Greaves on the same pitch. Spurs lost 320131 on the night, went out 420132 on aggregate. Two clear penalties not given. Andrew's conclusion: had Spurs won that match, the history of European football — and possibly his own life — would have been different. He notes that he has a son, and that he should have called him Jimmy. About the Guest Brian D. Bunk is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he teaches courses on world history, modern Europe, and the global history of soccer.

On this episode of Escaping the Drift, we sit down with Dr. Robb Kelly: former Abbey Road session musician, PhD in psychology from Oxford, and the man often called the Gordon Ramsay of the addiction world.Before becoming one of the most sought after addiction specialists in the country, Robb played bass alongside Bowie, Queen, and Elton John, then watched it all disappear into a two bottle a day vodka habit that cost him his children, his homes, and twice cost him his life on the streets of Manchester.In this episode, Robb opens up about the rain soaked night that changed everything, the stranger named Derek who appeared 30 seconds after a desperate prayer, and the mentor named John who taught him the framework he still uses to heal patients today.We dive into why alcoholics are born and addicts are made, the three parts of the brain that operate differently in true alcoholism, and why he believes depression, PTSD, and addiction can be cured rather than just managed. He also breaks down the phone and dopamine epidemic destroying connection in homes everywhere and how to claw it back with simple boundaries.If you have ever felt like the world has written your story for you, this conversation will rewrite the page.

In 1979, Sister Sledge changed the sound of wedding receptions forever with “We Are Family.” Believe it or not, the Chic-penned banger never made it to No. 1. Steely Dan helped invent Yacht Rock with 1977's jazzy bop “Peg.” (They would have loved it better if it had cracked the Top 10.) And in 1972, Elton John told a timeless tale of a blue-jean baby, a “Tiny Dancer.” Casey Kasem never counted it down.Today on Hit Parade: Chris Molanphy celebrates “near misses”—now-ubiquitous hits that missed the mark on the pop charts, stalling out at No. 2, No. 11, or No. 41. In this episode, Chris zooms in on near-misses from the 1970s, including songs from Paul McCartney, the Spinners, Jackson Browne, Cat Stevens, Diana Ross, and Michael Jackson.

"The more that things change, the more they stay the same... Nevertheless, we have to keep pushing forward. We have to keep moving that line forward in order to make a better tomorrow for all of us." - Sharon JohnsonWelcome to 80s TV Ladies The Winds of Ch-ch-ch-change!In this special episode—the first half of an epic two-part spectacular—hosts Susan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson are joined by their fabulous producer Melissa to talk about the massive personal transitions currently unfolding in all of their lives.

The ladies kick off Part 1 of their definitive countdown of the 20 Most Revolutionary 80s Music Videos, diving into the first 13 incredible videos on their list. They explore how the golden era of MTV transformed visual storytelling, artist autonomy, and pop culture forever. From groundbreaking feminist rap anthems and synth-pop milestones to a full-blown Madonna masterclass and jaw-dropping stop-motion animation, this conversation is a sparkling, nostalgic reflection on turning the page to the next chapter.THE CONVERSATION- THE WINDS OF CHANGE: Sharon, Susan and Melissa discuss the nature of personal and professional transitions—navigating the "two steps forward, one step back" rhythm of life and why we must keep pushing forward for a better tomorrow.- THE FOREIGN COUNTRY OF THE PAST: Susan opens up about packing up her home after 19 years, three kids, a house full of pets, and how digging into old boxes feels like visiting a foreign country where “they do things differently there.”- MOVING ACROSS THE U.S.A.: Sharon shares the bittersweet reality of leaving Southern California after 42 and a half years to move back to the Midwest, explaining how she is judiciously sorting through her life to downsize into her mother's home in Indianapolis.- CUE THE ROBIN, DEER, AND EAGLE: Producer Melissa shares an incredibly moving, cinematic story about losing her mother and brother Dougie, and a persistent red robin that visited her window in Pennsylvania alongside a herd of deer and a majestic bald eagle overhead.- LOVELY PARTING GIFTS & PRECIOUS VHS TAPES: The ladies talk about finding new homes for nostalgia, including Sharon giving away her classic Mark and Brian radio memorabilia on Facebook and her absolute refusal to let go of her original Star Wars trilogy on VHS—because the prequels simply do not exist!- FRESHMAN YEAR AT THE COLISEUM: Susan reminisces about discovering her oversized 1984 Bruce Springsteen Born in the U.S.A. concert souvenir tour program from her freshman year at USC, back when legendary stadium tickets were only $25.

This was quite literally the album and song when Ms. Jackson declared her independence over her career after leaving her new husband, James DeBarge, and firing her manager (and father) Joseph Jackson. A revolutionary move and every song speaks to finding her voice.- I'M STILL STANDING (Susan's Pick): A deep dive into Elton John's ultimate comeback anthem, exploring his personal resilience and the hilarious realization by the ladies that Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli is one of the featured neon dancers in the video.- LOVE SHACK (Sharon's Pick): Sharon and Susan takes a trip down the Atlanta highway looking for the B-52s' legendary "Love Shack" and celebrating its pure, joyful energy.- LADIES FIRST (Susan's Pick): Susan pays tribute to Queen Latifah's revolutionary 1989 feminist rap anthem "Ladies First" (featuring Monie Love) from her debut album, All Hail the Queen.- THE MADONNA TWO-FER (Sharon's Picks): Sharon talk about her favorite two Madonna songs and music videos, "Crazy for You" and "Express Yourself" and the groundbreaking visual style of the 80s Pop Queen.- STUNNING ANIMATION (Sharon's Pick): The ladies marvel at Peter Gabriel's award-winning stop-motion animation masterpiece "Sledgehammer" created by Aardman Animation.- PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER (Susan's Pick): Susan closes out Part 1 by honoring Patti Smith's powerful, timeless 1988 anthem "People Have the Power."AUDIO-OGRAPHY
For the 100th episode of their show "How We Heard It," the podcast team is giving you the music artists who give 100 percent. Musicians are like any other group of workers. Some are tireless - endlessly productive, relentlessly creative or both. Others fill the status quo, doing what might be expected, sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less. Still others are just plain lazy, pushing their work off on others, making excuses why they can't do more and invariably disappointing their supporters, time and time again. It's not about talent, it's about effort. This week "How We Heard It" is all about effort. While other artists might knock out a new album every few years, these artists are producing twice that output. Or while other artists are sticking to their established style (same themes, same sound), these super-producers are constantly exploring new ways to express themselves, tweaking and reinventing their art as they go and challenging their followers to keep up. The same goes for live shows: Some artists are constantly on tour, giving their all on stage night after night. Others rarely tour - and when they do, they just phone it in. Not surprisingly, effort and success don't exactly overlap. (Life is never fair, is it?) Some of the most ordinary artists generate the biggest sales, draw the most fans and win the most awards while some extraordinary artists struggle on the edge of obscurity. Yet every now and then, the brightest and hardest working artists will be among the most popular. Where do your favorites rank? "How We Heard It" takes a look at everyone from Bob Dylan and Elton John to Kenny Chesney and Adele to Taylor Swift and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Their conclusions might surprise you.

RHLSTP #610 - Cake in a Graveyard - Richard is excited about the breaking news (at time of recording). Broken years ago by this podcast and treats the audience to his poem about the disgraced Randrew Andrew. His guest is a woman with a life that feels like it has been moulded by Greek Gods fighting with a genie, the very open and frank and incredible Jameela Jamil. And she is not alone. She brings two further guests, one of whom has been vomiting blood. All in a day's normalcy for Jameela. They discuss he brilliant podcast Wrong Moves with Jameela Jamil, kicking a stunt man in the dick, running into a force field with a cake, the bee-based car accident that nearly killed her, but led to the best year of her life (she claims), the lies she's told to get jobs and the incredible and unbelievable truths that have accompanied her on her journey, how a school bully led to her becoming an actor (but long after they'd left school), her imminent 40th birthday, how our respective gigs for Elton John went, an incredible story about paying for someone's IVF that should completely be a sitcom and how Richard might just be a peripheral side character in the simulation that is Jameela's impossible life. This is up there with Brian Blessed, but I think this time, it's all true.Listen to Jameela's podcast Wrong Turns here (or wherever you get your podcasts) - https://open.spotify.com/show/48QtcFDDyQzKIc4B0fo4V7Listen to the full unredacted Sofie Hagen episode here (Randrew Andrew chat begins around 1:08:00) - https://open.spotify.com/episode/7rKIkLAmgEOtOrbpNJVZ6hCome and see RHLSTP live - http://richardherring.com/rhlstp.

Quando uscì, nel 1971, "Tiny Dancer" non sembrava destinata a diventare uno dei brani più amati di Elton John. Ma nel 2000, con l'uscita del film "Almost Famous" di Cameron Crowe, lascena leggendaria di una band in tour, che viaggia di notte su un autobus e inizia a cantare la canzone, fa del brano un grande successo.

Though the pair initially were hesitant to record the song, the hit marked a major turning point in their career, reaching No.1 onBillboard's Easy Listening and No. 2 on the Hot 100 charts. The monumental new track will feature an exclusive music video with never-before-seen clips of Seals and Coley together once again, honoring the duo's most popular tune. "Some songs seem to take on a life of their own," says John Ford Coley, adding, "the song 'I'd Really Love to See You Tonight' seems to be one of those iconic songs. Dan and I have not sung together since 1980, and it's interesting that the song that appears to have brought us back together was the one that launched our career as a duo. It never occurred to me that this song would still be as big today as it was 50years ago." "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight" will appear on Dan Seals & Friends: The Last Duet, releasing August 28.Coley still performs across the globe as a well-respected solo artist and has appeared with top musicians Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Lou Gramm, Stephen Bishop, and many more. The critically acclaimed singer/songwriter is also a classically trained pianist, guitarist, producer, and actor whose talents continue to influence new generations.

"So" gehört nicht nur zu den erfolgreichsten Alben von Peter Gabriel, sondern ist auch noch ein Meisterwerk der 80er Jahre. Es erschien am 19. Mai 1986 und verkaufte sich über zehn Millionen Mal. Auch einige seiner größten Hits wie "Sledgehammer", "In Your Eyes" oder "Don't Give Up" sind auf dem Album vertreten. Nach seiner Zeit bei Genesis arbeitete Peter Gabriel 1976 an seiner Solo-Karriere. Bereits 1977 erscheint mit "Peter Gabriel" sein erstes Solo-Album. Auch die drei folgenden Alben tragen denselben Titel, was in den Plattenläden immer wieder für Verwirrung sorgte. Erst mit seinem fünften Album "So" veröffentlichte er erstmals ein Album mit einem anderen Namen. Der Titel "So" klingt zunächst eher minimalistisch. Musikalisch verbindet das Album jedoch Artrock, Soul, R'n'B, Pop, Progressive Rock und Weltmusik zu einem vielseitigen Sound. Peter Gabriel setzt dabei auf die damals noch relativ neuen Synthesizer-Klänge und nutzt moderne Studiotechnik. Für die Produktion arbeitet er mit Daniel Lanois, der zusammen mit Toningenieur Kevin Killen das Album entscheidend prägt. "Sledgehammer" wurde zum größten Hit von Peter Gabriel und war zugleich sein erster Nummer-eins-Hit in den USA. Im Juli 1986 verdrängte der Song "Invisible Touch" von Gabriels früherer Band Genesis von der Spitze der US-Charts. Musikalisch orientiert sich "Sledgehammer" an Soulmusik der 1960er Jahre. Besonders der Einfluss von Otis Redding ist deutlich zu hören, dessen Musik Gabriel auch stark geprägt hat. Bei einem Auftritt von Redding entdeckte er 1966 den Trompeter Wayne Jackson, der später die markanten Bläser auf "Sledgehammer" einspielte. "Don't Give Up" ist das legendäre Duett von Peter Gabriel und Kate Bush. Der Song wurde für viele Menschen zu einer wichtigen Quelle der Hoffnung. Elton John sagte, das Lied habe ihm geholfen, seine Alkoholprobleme zu überwinden. Auch ein bekannter US-Komiker erzählte Gabriel, der Song habe ihm in einer schwierigen Zeit das Leben gerettet. Mit "So" hat Peter Gabriel ein Album veröffentlicht, das die Musik der 80er Jahre weit über seine Entstehungszeit hinaus geprägt hat. Obwohl es mit Erscheinen dieser Meilensteine-Episode seinen 40. Geburtstag feiert, klingt es noch erstaunlich modern und aktuell. Das Album verbindet unterschiedlichste Musikrichtungen und zeigt auch immer wieder Gabriels große Begeisterung für Weltmusik. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "So" sprechen wir im Podcast (04:30) – "Red Rain"(16:47) – "Sledgehammer"(35:56) – "Don't Give Up"(49:58) – "Mercy Street"(58:25) – "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)01:08:00) – "In Your Eyes" Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "So" findet ihr hier: linkhttps://1.ard.de/peter-gabriel-so __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast where host James Cox blends personal storytelling with the transformative power of music. In today's episode we sit down with Billy Ray Rock – a self‑proclaimed “King of Funk Rock,” a ghost producer, and an independent artist who's carving out a bold new sound at the crossroads of funk, rock, techno, and a splash of '90s nostalgia.Billy shares the journey that took him from a small town on the Washington‑Idaho border to sold‑out shows, a cameo on Yellowstone, and a fresh anthem, “Four Fingers Get Up.” We'll hear how his upbringing on limited radio stations forced him to absorb everything from Elton John to Rick James, shaping his relentless commitment to keep funk alive while injecting it with rock‑grade grit and modern flair.Expect candid conversation about:The mindset behind blending genres and why “imperfect” moments can become musical gold.What it means to be a ghost producer—crafting hits from the shadows while staying true to the art.How Billy's live shows strive for raw, inclusive energy over studio perfection, and why the bass guitar is his lifeline.Upcoming tour dates (May 13 at the Roadhouse Saloon in Idaho Falls) and a sneak peek at his latest releases on Apple Music, Spotify, and beyond.If you ever felt stuck in a bout of depression, or simply love a track that makes you want to get up and move, this conversation is for you. Tune in, let the rhythm guide you, and discover why, as Billy puts it, “when words fail, music speaks.”Website:http://billyrayrock.com/

In entertainment, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have released their first-ever duet, Dua Lipa is suing Samsung over alleged unauthorized use of her image, and “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is topping the box office again. Meanwhile, Canadian households are filing for bankruptcy at the fastest pace in over 16 years, highlighting growing financial pressure.
[Full Episode] The squad attempts an intervention for Roger, a former "hustler" turned stay-at-home husband who feels like a "low-key prisoner" because his high-powered wife treats him like an employee and refuses to feed him when they argue.

We're diving into the legendary story of Eminem bridging the gap with Elton John by gifting him and his husband matching gold "rooster rings" on their wedding night., The Homie Helpline gets intense as Roger reveals his high-powered wife treats him like an employee, controlling his meals and banning beer after 15 years as a stay-at-home husband. We're also breaking down the viral clip of a kid in the Dominican Republic who trolled streamer IShowSpeed into thinking he had cancer, only for his mom to "blow the bag" by revealing it was just lice. Don't You Know I'm Local, so we are investigating why lice seems to be a "Hispanic thing" and reacting to rumors of Anderson .Paak getting cozy with Mariah Carey. Finally, we look at the "Studious Fools" breakdown on why deadbeat dads might actually be victims of "systemic poverty" instead of just being heartless. Whether it's "tripod" sizing or "mosquita muerta" family drama, the crew is keeping it a hundred on everything going viral in the streets! [Edited by @iamdyre

Bob Spitz has written major biographies of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, and now the Rolling Stones — but also, somehow, Ronald Reagan and Julia Child. In rock, his credentials were hard won: he started out hustling gigs for an unknown Bruce Springsteen for six years, moved on to handling Elton John's American business, and spent long enough in the world to find himself jamming with Paul McCartney and chatting with Bob Dylan on a stoop in the Village. The Reagan and Julia Child books are harder to explain, and perhaps that's the point—Spitz seems to do his best work when he has no business writing the book at all. Tyler and Bob discuss how the Stones became so great so quickly, what they added to the blues, how their melodies stack up against the Beatles', whether Exile on Main Street deserves its canonical status, which songs are most underrated, what Charlie Watts actually got out of playing in a rock band, the rise and fall of Brian Jones, how the Stones outlasted nearly everyone, the influence of Mick's London School of Economics training, why popular music has lost its cultural influence, what we should still be asking Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, whether the Beatles' breakup was good for the world, how senile Reagan really was in his second term and whether he was ever truly a communist, how good a cook Julia Child actually was, his next book on Lennon's second act, and much more.

Canadian passengers have departed the Canary Islands as part of a high-stakes evacuation of a cruise ship hit by a fatal hantavirus outbreak. Canada's spy chief warns the upcoming Alberta sovereignty referendum is a "ripe" target for Russian disinformation. Israel's ban on Palestinian workers has hit the two-year mark, leaving the West Bank economy in a tailspin as foreign labour fills the void. Vancouver is the latest city to test autonomous food delivery robots — a move sparking a fierce debate over sidewalk accessibility and the future of service jobs. Sir Elton John was celebrated in Toronto last night as the latest Glenn Gould Prize Laureate, joined on stage by a lineup of Canada's top musical talent. A brutal avalanche season is forcing backcountry skiers to rethink their relationship with risk — as shifting winter patterns make the mountains more unpredictable.
In less than 24 hours, passengers aboard the cruise ship at the centre of a hantavirus outbreak will finally be back on terra firma. But their confinement has yet to end as health officials race to contain further spread of the respiratory virus. You'll hear how health officials are preparing, and how the four Canadians still onboard will be brought home.Also: Nova Scotia is rolling out a new digital health records system this weekend. The goal is to give all providers treating a patient access to the same information. But for weeks, critics have called for the launch to be delayed. They the system has already led to patient harms in one Halifax hospital.And: Elton John is being celebrated tonight in Toronto with an award that bears the name of another legendary pianist. John will receive The Glen Gould Prize tonight - for both his long music career and his humanitarian activism. Plus: Political turmoil for the U.K. Labour party, Job losses for Indians working in the Persian Gulf, and more.
What happens when you rescue a forgotten studio that once shaped American music history - and bring it roaring back to life?This week, I sat down with Teresa Knox, the powerhouse entrepreneur and preservationist behind the rebirth of The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma - the legendary home of Leon Russell, the early Shelter Records family, and the roots of what became known as the Tulsa Sound. Teresa shares the entire arc of this wild journey: from collecting Leon Russell Slurpee cups as an 8-year-old kid, to buying the abandoned church sight unseen, to rebuilding it from the ground up and restoring it as a world-class studio, museum, archive, and engineering school. We talk about the stunning history embedded in the building - the 1915 hand-built sanctuary, the 1972 Leon-era renovations, and what it really takes to preserve a place where so many iconic recordings were born.We dig deep into the music: Leon's time in the Wrecking Crew, his explosion after Mad Dogs & Englishmen, recording with George Harrison at the Concert for Bangladesh, and his early influence on players like Elton John and Glen Campbell. Teresa shares stories from the Shelter Records years - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers arriving as Mudcrutch, J.J. Cale, The Gap Band, Phoebe Snow, Willis Alan Ramsey, Freddie King, and even Bob Marley & The Wailers turning the place into a Jamaican party. She walks us through the official Church Studio playlist, the discovery of original artifacts inside the walls, and why preserving the stories of these musicians matters just as much as preserving the building itself.Finally, we talk about the reconstruction: shoring up a collapsing foundation, solving electrical noise and RF issues, preserving historic architecture while building a modern studio, restoring a Neve 8068, installing two EMT 140 plates, and designing a hybrid analog/digital workflow. Teresa also explains how The Church Studio now trains new engineers through its hands-on vocational school, hosts sessions with top artists, runs a nonprofit to support musicians, and continues the legacy of Leon and the Tulsa Sound through events like CarniFest. Her passion for preservation, community, and world-class sound makes this one of the most inspiring studio stories I've ever heard.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ The next program starts May 11, 2026 https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK30 to get 1 month free of NI 360!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6BLaSUX1juRYH6jHHTfa6k?si=nZtNPzHDSXi0bVQnpSU43AIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/557
