Today on Let There Be Talk I've got a true guitar God in the house — one of the most technically insane, melodic, and joyful players to ever plug into a Marshall… the one and only Paul Gilbert. You first felt the shred attack with Racer X, where the speed was blistering and the musicianship was on another planet. Then came the arena-sized hooks and monster riffs with Mr. Big — yes, the band that gave the world "To Be With You," but also some of the fiercest guitar playing of the late '80s and '90s. Now Paul is back with a brand-new solo record, WROC — and as always, he's pushing himself, chasing tone, melody, and that endless curiosity that's kept him evolving for decades. We dive deep into: The making of WROC His practice philosophy and how he stays inspired Life in Mr. Big and Racer X Paul's not just a shred legend — he's one of the most positive, dedicated lifers in rock 'n' roll. Turn it up. This is Let There Be Talk.  Thank You  DDR   My tour dates can be found here - https://www.deandelray.com/tourdates  Join My Patreon here - https://www.deandelray.com/patreon  Watch my new Stand Up Comedy Special for free - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbeaApu4OP0 

Tre RussoTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Tre Russo. Tre is the bass player and front man for the new band out of San Diego, Soundivision. Tre is also the son of pop punk legend Scott Russo; but we really focus on Tre and his new band. In this episode, we chat about his getting into music, and what made him and his friends decide to put a band together. Then we talk about their writing & producing style, and some of the previous incarnations of the band before they settled on this lineup. Of course, Tre shares stories of growing up around his dad and Unwritten Law, and the impact that environment and the array of musicians that were always around. Soundivision consists of Tre Russo, Kerek Martinson, and DJ Hernandez. Soundivision's debut album "Invincible" is available everywhere, and Tre even lets le play my favorite track from the record. We go all over the place in this one, and Tre gives some peeks behind the curtain of what it is like to not only grow up with musical inspiration and support, but how that support manifests itself even into his adult years. Follow Soundivision on Instagram and catch one of their live shows if you have the chance.

Fresh off his February 16th premiere on American Idol, Jake Thistle joins me on Caught on the Mike to talk about his latest single, “Sleep On Me” — a bold, confident statement from an artist stepping into his moment. We break down the meaning behind the track, the edge and urgency in the songwriting, and how it reflects where Jake is mentally and creatively right now. With a sound rooted in classic '70s and '80s influence but sharpened for today, “Sleep On Me” feels like both a warning shot and a breakthrough. We also get into his Idol experience, working with powerhouse producer Butch Walker, and how national exposure collides with years of groundwork. This episode is about belief, timing, and what happens when the world finally starts paying attention.

Stephanie Sammons: Financial Planner by Day, Songwriter by Calling | Curious Goldfish with Jason EnglishHost Jason English welcomes Stephanie Sammons to Curious Goldfish in Nashville for a conversation about her dual life as a Dallas-based financial planner and an emerging songwriter. Stephanie explains her holistic approach to wealth management—combining financial planning, tax planning, and investment management—while emphasizing the importance of behavior, long-term perspective, and living fully rather than following rigid rules. She shares how she decided to “go pro” as a songwriter without leaving her career, motivated by a desire to avoid regret and stop waiting for permission to be herself, including encouragement from songwriter Mary Gauthier to claim the title of songwriter. Stephanie discusses her Southern Baptist upbringing in Missouri, how coming out created a decade-long family disconnect, and how reconciliation eventually developed into mutual respect, including her parents' relationship with her wife and their grandchildren. The episode explores themes of faith, nuance, fear, optimism, and how personal experiences become songwriting material, including her song “Faithless” and the origins of “Innocence Lost,” inspired by a childhood memory of shooting a bird with a BB gun and later shaped in a Mary Gauthier workshop. Stephanie notes she released her 2024 album “Time and Evolution” and is currently recording a second full-length album with Mary Bragg, expected in early 2026. The episode closes with Stephanie performing “Innocence Lost.”00:00 Music, Faith, and Finding a Hopeful Perspective01:01 Welcome to Curious Goldfish + Meet Stephanie Sammons03:15 Nashville Intro & Why Her Songs Hit So Hard04:07 Holistic Financial Planning: Retirement, Spending, and Mindset06:53 Market Chaos, Long-Term Optimism, and Tuning Out the Noise08:05 Day Job vs. Art: Going Pro Without Quitting10:57 ‘Build Your Own Adventure' + Claiming the Title Songwriter12:06 No More Excuses: Regret, Calling, and Making the Leap14:10 Faith Deconstruction in Americana Music (and Why It's Taboo)16:52 Southern Baptist Roots, Sexuality, and a Complicated Belief18:10 The ‘Billboard Sign' Lyric: Family Rejection and Its Aftermath18:59 Rebuilding the Relationship: From Pedestal to Reconciliation19:40 The Turning Point: Letting Go and Parents Coming Back Around21:33 Agreeing to Disagree: Family, Marriage, Kids, and Mutual Respect22:30 Will Sexuality Always Be the Headline?

We're getting ready for big Mid-America Trucking Show next month, March 26-28 at the Louisville Convention Center, and ready to host our Trucker of the Year and cover all manner of the various goings on at the event. It's a big undertaking, from set-up to roll-out of the custom-truck show in the Paul K. Young Memorial competition to federal and state regulatory panels, trucking-business discussions and all the rest happening at the huge event: https://overdriveonline.com/tag/mats Yet we've got help from a bit of a not-so-secret weapon who this year happens to be an integral part of the official MATS programming. He's the player of and songwriter behind much of the music you hear under the voices on Overdrive Radio week-in-week-out, the man we've featured here too many times to count and whom regular readers will also know from his stories and tall tales, interviews, oral histories of OTR drivers of all stripes, and so much more all published under the Overdrive Extra banner at OverdriveOnline.com: https://overdriveonline.com/14865330 That writer, that performer, that veritable sage of the road, Long Haul Paul Marhoefer, will feature with others during the Friday night concert at MATS this year. He's got a couple of records upcoming, too, set for release in the coming weeks: One is archival from 1994, previously unreleased material from an embryonic stage of LHP's evolution as a songwriter he's calling "1994: The Lost Tapes." Then "The After Party Sessions" features live recordings from night shows at various trucking events over the last several years, most held in the custom-outfitted venue trailer of Brandon Carpenter that is the Old Iron Bar. Off the top of the podcast, a bit of taste of that live record via a track that is the very first of Marhoefer's we ever heard at Overdrive, when he competed in Overdrive's Trucker Talent Search music competition more than 10 years ago now: https://overdriveonline.com/14888649 He'd go on to place second that year. And his star rose so quickly among owner-operators and drivers in the aftermath that he never competed again -- no doubt in our minds he'd have won it had he. But he became a real fixture in performances around the competitors after that, alongside copious writing and reporting he's done for Overdrive since, all with a clear desire to tell the stories of others with care, with faith to the their voices and no small sense of empathy for the struggles we all endure. LHP brings all of that to his songwriting as well. He's endured plenty himself in life and trucking, as he memorably chronicled as host of our Over the Road podcast back in 2020, which saw air in partnership with the Radiotopia podcast network: https://www.overdriveonline.com/t/4405867 Don't miss his performance at MATS, yet if that show's just not in the cards for you this year, know that he'll be out at a variety of other events throughout the year, though somewhat limited compared to prior years given his father, near Madison, Wisconsin, has needed home care that he and his siblings and other family members have been coordinating. The "long haul" in LHP remains a reality for Marhoefer, if he does call his trucking career at this stage a kind of semi-retirement. He still hauls for Ohio-headquartered Moeller Trucking and lives with his wife, Denise, in Losantville, Indiana, the pair an undisputed force in trucking music and culture. In the podcast, he talks through tracks from both the new records as well as 2023 and 2024's “Legends of the Lost Highway” and “Floodwaters and Fires” records, respectively. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Hope to see you at MATS. New records should be available around the time of MATS: https://www.longhaulpaulmusic.com/ Marhoefer's chronicle of his near-death encounter with a set of runaway duals in 2023: https://overdriveonline.com/15304967 More at the head of our Music to Truck By playlist: https://soundcloud.com/overdriveradio/sets/music-to-truck-by-no-1

After nearly a decade of touring and a record deal cycle already come and gone, Kiernan McMullan moved to Nashville 15 years ago to dig into the craft of songwriting, and began laying the foundations of a long and successful career in music. While spending every year on the road full time, Kiernan had released a plethora of music surrounding the heavy topics of love, life, loss, and the introspection that comes with a life on the road. He's toured with, and opened for, a laundry list of artists and bands, and has played all over the US, Ireland, and the UK for the past 20 years. Born in Hong Kong to an Irish father and Australian mother, his love of travel and culture is rooted deep within his music and soul. His music can be characterized by his intense attention to lyrical detail and a fluid, yet structured affinity for rhythm found in his guitar playing, singing, and writing.

L'un chante, l'autre pas. Mais les 2 musiciens jouent de la guitare. Jesse Harris et Quentin Dujardin se succèdent dans la #SessionLive.  Notre premier invité est le songwriter américain Jesse Harris pour le nouvel album If You Believed in Me Bright Eyes, Lana Del Rey ou encore John Zorn, Jesse Harris est l'un des songwriters les plus respectés de sa génération. Après plus de vingt albums, il ouvre aujourd'hui un nouveau chapitre avec If You Believed In Me, son tout premier album enregistré avec un orchestre symphonique, sous la houlette de l'arrangeur et chef d'orchestre brésilien Maycon Ananias. La trajectoire de Jesse Harris est tissée d'aventures musicales hors du commun. Songwriter avant tout, ses chansons voyagent depuis plus de vingt ans, portées par certaines des voix les plus marquantes de la scène internationale. Révélé au monde entier en 2003 lorsque «Don't Know Why»,sa chanson interprétée par Norah Jones, reçoit le Grammy de la chanson de l'année, il s'impose comme un auteur-compositeur prolifique et recherché. Depuis, il a publié une vingtaine d'albums en son nom et collaboré avec des artistes aussi divers que Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, CatPower, Feist, les Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, Smokey Robinson, Bright Eyes, John Zorn ou encore Maya Hawke. Malgré cette richesse, un territoire restait inexploré : celui de l'orchestre symphonique. L'étincelle vient à l'automne 2024. Son ami brésilien Maycon Ananias, arrangeur de cordes, l'appelle depuis Tallinn où il travaille sur une célébration des 95 ans d'Arvo Pärt, «si jamais tu as besoin d'un orchestre»...

Jesse Harris et Quentin Dujardin se succèdent dans la #SessionLive.  Notre premier invité est le songwriter américain Jesse Harris pour le nouvel album If You Believed in Me Bright Eyes, Lana Del Rey ou encore John Zorn, Jesse Harris est l'un des songwriters les plus respectés de sa génération. Après plus de vingt albums, il ouvre aujourd'hui un nouveau chapitre avec If You Believed In Me, son tout premier album enregistré avec un orchestre symphonique, sous la houlette de l'arrangeur et chef d'orchestre brésilien Maycon Ananias. La trajectoire de Jesse Harris est tissée d'aventures musicales hors du commun. Songwriter avant tout, ses chansons voyagent depuis plus de vingt ans, portées par certaines des voix les plus marquantes de la scène internationale. Révélé au monde entier en 2003 lorsque «Don't Know Why»,sa chanson interprétée par Norah Jones, reçoit le Grammy de la chanson de l'année, il s'impose comme un auteur-compositeur prolifique et recherché. Depuis, il a publié une vingtaine d'albums en son nom et collaboré avec des artistes aussi divers que Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, CatPower, Feist, les Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, Smokey Robinson, Bright Eyes, John Zorn ou encore Maya Hawke. Malgré cette richesse, un territoire restait inexploré : celui de l'orchestre symphonique. L'étincelle vient à l'automne 2024. Son ami brésilien Maycon Ananias, arrangeur de cordes, l'appelle depuis Tallinn où il travaille sur une célébration des 95 ans d'Arvo Pärt, «si jamais tu as besoin d'un orchestre»...

Youtube InstagramSpotifyBioAbe Yellen's latest single, “South of Italy,” unfolds like a vivid dream an emotionally rich meditation on heartbreak, longing, and the slow journey toward healing. Anchored by layered harmonies reminiscent of The Beach Boys and a hauntingly intimate chorus, Yellen captures the raw vulnerability of love lost. As the song builds, swelling drums and orchestral arrangements expand the sonic landscape, guiding listeners from introspection toward emotional release.The track's gradual ascent reflects the reality of moving through grief, mirroring the experience of a scenic train ride  one that inspired the song during Yellen's own travels to Positano on Italy's Amalfi Coast. “When something hard happens, we want to move on as quickly as possible,” Yellen explains. “But it's okay to sit in sorrow, let it run its course, and take your time before moving forward.”Music runs deep in Yellen's family lineage, with Grammy-winning relatives and an uncle who tours as guitarist for country superstar Kenny Chesney. His earliest performances took place in church, where he first learned to play guitar, laying the foundation for a lifelong dedication to music.Professionally, Yellen began his career as a roadie for his brother Winston's indie folk band, Night Beds. Thrust unexpectedly into the role of drummer during a live performance, Yellen rose to the challenge  a defining moment that launched his evolution as a musician. He later transitioned to guitar, developed into a sought-after full-time producer, and formed his own band in Austin, Texas.Now based in Los Angeles, Yellen is turning his creative focus inward, channeling years of production experience into his own artistry. This renewed direction culminates in his forthcoming album, The Long Goodbye, set for release later this spring. The project explores themes of love, loss, reflection, and renewal, further establishing Yellen's voice as both intimate and expansive.“South of Italy,” released January 30 with promotional support from Starlight PR, is available across all streaming platforms. Fans can anticipate upcoming music videos and live performances throughout Southern California.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

This week, a special road trip episode featuring award-winning Owensboro, Kentucky bluegrass singer/songwriter Rick Faris and his band recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Rick Faris is a Kansas Music Hall of Fame Member who was recently awarded the “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2024 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards making him an 8-time IBMA Award winner. In addition Rick won the coveted “New Artist of the Year” in 2022. Faris also spent 11 years with Special Consensus while the band earned two GRAMMY nominations before embarking on his chart topping solo career. The Rick Faris Band, is an International touring Bluegrass outfit playing in the US, Mainland Europe, the British Isles and Canada. They bring sibling harmony and comedic relief with brother JimBob Faris on bass and a youthful snap to their original brand of music with a couple of bluegrass thoroughbreds, Henry Burgess (who grew up with fiddle legend Byron Berline) and Gibson Davis (who is a third generation bluegrass musician following father Chris Davis and his Grandfather Danny Davis). Rick recently moved to Owensboro, Kentucky the Bluegrass Music Capital and has opened his Faris Guitar Co. - https://rickfaris.com/press-kit In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1988 archival recording of gospel music legends The Chuck Wagon Gang performing the 1934 J.R.

Since January 2024, few days have gone by without carving out some time to indulge in Sam Haft's work. Every aspect of Hazbin Hotel on Prime Video is wow-worthy, but Haft and Andrew Underberg have a magnificent knack for crafting one earworm after the next. Oftentimes, one of their songs is the last thing I hear in my head before drifting off to sleep, and it's the very first thing that comes to mind when I wake up the next day. I'm willing to bet many can relate because the Hazbin Hotel Season 1 soundtrack reached #13 on the Billboard 200, and now it's happening all over again. The Hazbin Hotel Season 2 soundtrack managed to hit a high of #8 on the Billboard 200.The success of the soundtracks beyond the main series is a remarkable achievement, but one of the most staggeringly impressive aspects of Haft and Underberg's work is how heavily, and successfully, their songs contribute to the Hazbin Hotel storyline. Yes, the songs can simply be a blast to listen to, but they're also brimming with brilliant narrative subtext.With Hazbin Hotel Season 2 out in full, Haft took the time to swing by the Collider Forces studio to break down his journey to the hit Prime Video series, and also to dig into the creation of many of the Season 2 songs. He offered up a peek behind the curtain of much-talked-about tracks like “Gravity,” “Piss (A Love Song), and “Love in a Bottle,” but he also made a point to zero in on one particular aspect of “Live to Live" because he thinks it's actually “the most important musical moment of the entire show.” Hosted on Acast.

Text us about this show.In just a short five year span, Michael Grabner has become one of Wisconsin's most prolific singer-songwriters. From his first album, Restart (2021), to his solo acoustic sophomore effort, A Story I Can't Tell (2023), through the nine singles he's dropped since, Michael's growth and maturity as a songwriter is all on display. Those nine singles are combined with three new tracks for a new album called The Rock Garden Recordings and it's Michael's best collection of songs to date. Every song is performed by the trio of Michael on vocals and acoustic guitar, drummer Ric "Spatula" Armstrong, and Rock Garden Studio producer Marc Golde on everything else. Now Michael has assembled The Ghosts of Electricity, his band that brings these gems to the stage and they more than do these songs justice.

(featured photo shows David, his wife Yvonne, and son, Joey, when young) Meet the Incredible Dr. David Antonuccio, Part 2 of 2 Shrink, Songwriter, and Hero Today we continue our conversation with my dear friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. David Antonuccio, a true scholar, clinician, researcher, musician, and champion of scientific transparency. The Nicotine Patch Study David revisited his landmark research on the nicotine patch, a costly trial involving roughly 600 participants who were randomly assigned to receive either a real nicotine patch or a sham patch. The goals were to assess safety and efficacy. The safety data looked reassuring. However, the efficacy findings were unexpected: the placebo patch worked just as well as the active nicotine patch in reducing smoking. The sponsoring company published the safety data but refused to publish—and refused David access to—the efficacy findings, which showed no advantage for the nicotine patch. You can check the link to the NEJM article here.  David writes: "Notice the 48 week follow-up data were excluded in this paper despite the fact that they were available. That really annoyed me. I also now believe that the original version of the paper was ghostwritten and ghost analyzed by the industry folks.in other words.  I'm not sure that the authors ever had access to the "raw" data before they were analyzed." This was important because there was a decrease in smoking DURING the study among those wearing the patch, and getting their "fix" of nicotine that way. . . but what happened AFTER the study?  David writes: "Here is the link to the follow up paper that emphasized efficacy and included the 48 week follow-up data." Notice that this paper was not published until three years later, when the Nicotine Patch had already been heavily advertised and sold on the market. This early experience in his career revealed the tension between marketing interests which focus on sales, and scientific interests which focus on truth and transparency—a daunting and frustrating pattern that would emerge again and again in his career. Expert Testimony in a Tragic Criminal Case David then described expert testimony he provided in a deeply troubling legal case. A 72-year-old woman, happily married for 50 years and a respected kindergarten teacher, had recently been prescribed Paxil, along with Ambien and Ativan. She abruptly, and without memory, woke up in the middle of the night and stabbed her husband 200 times and was subsequently arrested for homicide. There was no jury trial; instead, a plea bargain was used to determine sentencing. Dr. David Antonuccio was called as an expert witness in her defense. He described Dr. David Healy's research documenting a significant increase in both suicidal and violent urges among some patients taking SSRIs, especially Paxil. He argued that this woman's bizarre behavior was consistent with a drug-induced dissociative or fugue state. Based in part on David's testimony, the charge was reduced to manslaughter, and the judge sentenced her to time served, allowing her to return home to her children. For more on this topic: David Healy's Research on SSRIs and Homicidal Urge SSRIs Called on Carpet Over Violence Claims Black Box Warnings and Patient Rights David also emphasized the urgent need to revise Black Box warnings to reflect the full range of possible toxic or dissociative effects of psychiatric medications—not just suicidality. He has long advocated for a Patient Bill of Rights to ensure scientific transparency and informed consent. A Surprising Conversation with Dr. John Nash David shared a fascinating personal story about calling Dr. John Nash, whose life inspired the award-winning film A Beautiful Mind. In the movie, Nash's recovery from schizophrenia  is portrayed as medication-dependent. However, Nash told David directly that this was not true—the medication narrative was added to the script, possibly out of concern that portraying his recovery without meds might discourage viewers from taking prescribed medications. Nash said: "What saved me was the support of family and friends." Music, Truth, and "Buzz" David is also a talented songwriter. One of his songs, "Buzz," addresses the emotional and ethical issues surrounding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The inspiration came from a man in the Midwest who was legally ordered to undergo ECT against his will. A widespread public outcry ultimately convinced the judge to rescind the order. Forgiveness and "In the Air Tonight" One of David's favorite songs is Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," which he sees as a deeply spiritual musical meditation on forgiveness—a theme David considers one of the most powerful psychological forces we possess. David explains that the Phil Collin's song is about forgiveness, but more indirectly and specifically about the songwriter's inability to forgive. And yes—David sang it live for us on the podcast! You might be interested in this chapter that David coauthored on the science of forgiveness Thank you for joining us today. And heartfelt thanks to you, Dr. David Antonuccio, for your gifts of enlightened skepticism, ethical courage, incisive scientific thinking, and soulful musical talent. David, Rhonda, and David
