That has nothing to do with record sales. It happens when the audiences get what we do. They feel it. And we do to. Now, if we don’t feel it, then we should stop doing this. But I’m going to do this as long as I can.”(Felix Cavaliere) For more information about our amazing sponsor, Other World Computing, go to MacSales.com or OWCDigital.com, where you’ll find hardware and software solutions and tutorial videos that will get you up and running in no time.

This week Rock N Roll Archaeologist Christian Swain hunts down Songwriter Hall of Famer Chip Taylor, to talk about his new album ‘Whiskey Salesman’, as well as a fifty year career writing many huge and influential hits. Riding high on the just released album and breakout single ‘Fuck All the Perfect People’ 2016 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Chip Taylor has been writing and performing for nearly 60 years and shows no sign of slowing down. The New York Times says it best: 'If you only know him as the guy who wrote 'Wild Thing' and 'Angel Of The Morning' - you don't know him! Chip Taylor is making some of the most distinctive acoustic music around today.' 'Whiskey Salesman,' his latest in a remarkable string of recent albums, is at once both personal and universal. It is an album filled with timeless, intimate love songs - poignant, meditative odes to life. And drinking (in moderation) songs. Their spirit is perhaps best captured by the videos Taylor has created for each and every song (included on a dvd). Filmed at his own apartment and local bar, and starring his wife and friends, Chip welcomes everybody into his warm, heartfelt world. 'Whiskey Salesman' was co-produced by keyboardist Goran Grini and bass player Tony Mercadante. It also features master-guitarist John Platania (Van Morrison). https://www.amazon.com/Whiskey-Salesman-DVD-Chip-Taylor/dp/B07R552HK9/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2AVB4X2ZRMZ02&keywords=chip+taylor+whiskey+salesman&qid=1562010740&s=gateway&sprefix=chip+taylor%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-4 https://www.trainwreckrecords.com https://www.facebook.com/Chip-Taylor-40438231724 We love Vermont CBD!

Often called "The Godfather of Americana", Chip Taylor's songs have been recorded by such musical legends as Frank Sinatra, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin, Linda Ronstadt, and many many more.  A 2016 Songwriter Hall of Fame Inductee, Chip's songs are feature in over 115 movies and TV shows.  His career spans over 5 decades and includes iconic hits like "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning".  Since 2000, he has released nearly one album a year and has 2 new albums ready for release, in addition to the 27 albums already out.  Along with friends Kris Kristofferson and John Prine, Chip was one of leaders of the Alt-Country movement in the 1970's.  Early in our conversation I mistakenly commented, "so, you write poems and put them to music".  Taylor quickly stopped me to explain that was not, in fact, the case.  He shared that, since the first time he realized he felt music more than most people, at age 5, when he experienced what he calls, “The Chill Factor,” he has continued to follow that innate instinct.  He hears a tune, works through it, and eventually discovers that words will magically work their way into the tune.  Instincts run through the veins of Chip and his brothers:  brother Barry invented the formula that predicts when volcanoes erupt and Jon (Voight) is an Academy Award-Winning actor known for his instinctual character portrayals.  What ensued was a riveting conversation about trust in one's own instrument, refusal to try to "guess the market" in the arts and allowing one's self to produce an enormous volume of high-quality work by nurturing the soul and providing the space in one's life to always be able to create.  SHOW NOTES:   3 boys, 3 unique talents, (8:42). Parental encouragement, (10:38). “Right before school, my dad said, ‘What is this day going to bring us now? Let’s find out.’”, (10:50). “The Chill Factor”: using inspiration to write and perform, (14:34). Signing with King Records at 16, (18:53). “The real lesson is to not take no for an answer.”, (23:02). The power of being told he is ok for who he was, (35:05). Following your gut instead of the market, (42:30). “The writers that I liked best over time were intuitive.”, (44:10). Rituals and habits practiced while writing, (46:53). On being prolific: releasing 27 albums overall, (49:40). Writing a duet album with Carrie Rodriguez, (53:00). “When somebody says something, I usually don’t let it fall off the table.”, (56:16). Combining the beauty of people and attractions, (1:07:34).  SHOW LINKS:  Website: http://trainwreckrecords.com/artists/chip_taylor.html  IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0852118/  Duet Album with Carrie Rodriguez: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/red-dog-tracks/1049337059  Time Waits for No Little Girls Uncovered Album:   https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/time-waits-for-no-little-girls-uncovered/1436724971  Artie Tobia Website: http://www.tobiamusic.com/  If you like what you hear, please Subscribe, leave an iTunes review and spread the word.

Felix Cavaliere has had an illustrious 50-year career that includes the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriter Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and Grammy Hall of Fame.  He joins me to talk about how his legendary band The Rascals got started and we venture into what it was like performing back when they got started in the 1960s and what it's like now.  Felix and Gene Cornish are re-uniting to go on tour with Rock and Roll Hall of fame drummer, Carmine Appice for a new tour.  The Rascals had many top hits including chart toppers Groovin' and Good Lovin'.  

The message has always been to stand for peace, love, and happiness. For legendary singer songwriter, Felix Cavaliere, making people feel good is primary to his illustrious 50-ayear career that includes the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriter Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and Grammy Hall of Fame. Few artists can claim they defined a generation; Felix continues to remind us to keep listening for the world’s beauty. Early in 1965, Felix Cavaliere formed the ‘Young Rascals’ with Dino Danelli, Eddie Brigati, and Gene Cornish. That October, they caught the attention of promoter/manager Sid Bernstein with their high-energy set at Long Island’s elite club, Barge. Signed to Atlantic Records, and now called The Rascals, the mega hit “Good Lovin’” struck No. 1 in February 1966. They followed suit with a string of hits like “I’ve Been Lonely Too Long,” “Groovin" (No. 1 in 1967), “How Can I Be Sure,” “A Girl Like You,” “A Beautiful Morning,” and “People Got to Be Free” (No. 1 in 1968). The Rascals are considered the best ‘blue-eyed soul’ group to come out of the 1960s, as well as one of the groups with the most record sales. By the early 70s, The Rascals experimented with more jazz-influenced sounds, and moved to Columbia Records. The Rascals disbanded in 1972. Felix's solo career thrived during this decade. He released his self-titled debut album with Todd Rundgren at the producer helm. His follow-up albums were Destiny (1974), Castles in the Air (1979) (Castle in the Air produced another Top 40 hit – “Only a Heart Sees” reached No. 2), Dreams in Motion (1994) and in 2008 he collaborated with Stax guitar legend, Steve Cropper, on the Grammy-nominated Nudge it Up a Notch and again in 2010 with Midnight Flyer. Felix calls Nashville home base, where he is constantly collaborating and writing new material. He’s also finishing his memoir and has an active tour schedule with FELIX CAVALIERE’S RASCALS. The legendary Felix Cavaliere's Rascals are celebrating 50 years of music. Visit FELIXCAVALIEREMUSIC.COM.

Behind a hit song is a hit songwriter. Tim Nichols is the writer of monster cuts like Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying”, Dustin Lynch’s “Cowboys and Angles”, Jo Dee Messina’s “Heads Carolina, Tails California”, Keith Whitley’s, “I’m Over You” and “Brotherly Love”, Billy Dean’s “Tryin’ To Hide A Fire In The Dark”, and so much more that it’s impossible to mention all of them. But we try in the conversation. From the days of sweating out gigs at Opryland, to to catch a music industry predator we cover a lot in this conversation. Tim not only pens hit songs, he also publishes them with his venture THiS Music with Connie Harrington (no relation) and Rusty Gaston. On top of that, Tim is on the Board of NSAI and the Executive Committee leading the charge of correcting ancient laws in a modern, digital age that prohibits songwriters to make a living wage.
