Podcasts about Syd Straw

It was a wonderful experience talking with someone I've admired for so long. I love her songs, I love her voice. And she's just incredibly cool. In additional to her solo work, there's such a long list of great bands and artists she's performed with.A list that includes – Pat Benatar, The dB's, The Del-Lords, Dave Alvin, The Golden Palominos, Marshall Crenshaw, Van Dyke Parks, Vic Chesnutt, Wilco, Richard Thompson and many more. Syd's debut solo album Surprise featured a lot of her pals from that list and her second album, War and Peace was backed by none other than that fantastic and much-loved band from Springfield, The Skeletons.

It's September 4, 1986. And Deirdre has just met a kindred spirit in singer Syd Straw. Like Deirdre, Syd traveled in good company. You could pick out her voice on records by Los Lobos, Rickie Lee Jones, Was (Not Was), and more. As an early member of the indie supergroup The Golden Palominos, she was a feature on Deirdre's playlists long before she became a regular guest. Most artists that appeared on “SNAP!” will tell you how comfortable Deirdre made them feel. That absolutely resulted in fantastic on-air performances. But Syd and Deirdre took that to a whole new level. If Deirdre had an official partner-in-crime, it was Syd Straw, who appeared on the show five times. She would sing with a band, or over backing tapes that she brought with her, or she would just guest DJ. And no topic was off limits. They had their own wild chemistry: funny, fearless, and more than a little bent. In 1989, Syd struck out on a solo career which eventually took her to New York City. But even now, Syd is rich with memories of the pioneering DJ and friend whom she called “The Godmother.”

This week, we got to chat with the wonderful Lizzie Edwards, frontwoman of Lizzie and the Makers! We chatted about the band's origin, their upcoming album and recent single "Mermaid", what it's like to write a song after a heartbreak, and the two New Yorkers discuss the perfect bagel order.

On lead guitar, Greg McMullen describes his music style as "sonic deconstruction onelectric/acoustic/resophonic/lap/pedal steel/bass guitars, and other devices..." Trying to bridge the gap between Arto Lindsay and Joe Walsh, Greg has played with Chris Whitley, Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie/The Cure), Meshell Ndegeocello, Trixie Whitley, Twilight Singers, Bonsai, Bentmen, Matt White, Speedbuggy USA, and the Glenn Branca Ensemble. About the Show: The goal of She Will Rock You has always been to educate our listeners. Whether that is about a classic rock artist or a new and emerging artist.

Fra Lost in the Stars e un nuovo album-tributo allestito da Willner, dedicato questa volta alle musiche dei grandi film a cartoni animati di Walt Disney, passano tre anni. Nel frattempo Willner ha lasciato il ruolo di coordinatore musicale di Saturday Night Live ed è passato a collaborare - lavoro che farà per qualche tempo - con Night Music, altro programma televisivo, sempre della NBC, dove porta fra gli altri John Cale, Miles Davis, John Zorn, Leonard Cohen, Sonny Rollins. Rispetto a Lost in the Stars, con Stay Awake, che esce nell'88, la creatività riprende quota. Scorriamo l'album ascoltando musiche da Pinocchio, Bambi, Dumbo, il libro della giungla, Biancaneve e i sette nani, La bella addormentata nel bosco, Mary Poppins, La carica dei cento e uno e altri film ancora, interpretati da Bill Frisell e Wayne Horvitz con la voce - molto popolare negli Usa - di Ken Nordine, Natalie Merchant con Michael Stipe, Los Lobos, Bonnie Raitt con i Was (Not Was), Tom Waits, Suzanne Vega, Syd Straw, Buster Poindexter, Yma Sumac con Lennie Niehaus, Aaron Neville con Dr John, Garth Hudson, NRBQ, Betty Carter, Replacements, Sinhead O'Connor, Sun Ra. Nella prossima puntata i brani finali dell'album, con protagonisti James Taylor, e Ringo Starr con Herb Alpert.

CLICK TITLE FOR TRACK LISTING

It was a concert by glam rock juggernauts Kiss that opened a 9-year-old Geoff Pearlman's eyes to the possibilities of a life in music. Guitar lessons soon followed, as did a series of high school rock and roll bands playing the usual Rush and Van Halen covers. But when most kids were picking traditionally sensible collegiate career paths, Pearlman turned into the wind and signed up at Boston's Berklee College of Music - a breeding ground for legitimate musicians and a unique place to learn the particulars of the craft. After all, a profusion of musicians can play some guitar, but it is a select few who put in the work to dig in and play the instrument beyond what's necessary to accompany themselves. A significant percentage of Berklee students leave before finishing a degree program, launching themselves into work opportunities - but Pearlman stuck around and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in professional music in 1991. He gigged in San Francisco for several years before settling in Los Angeles, a town with a rich history of talented sessions players. Pearlman's hard work continues to pay off, as his list of credits includes Norah Jones, Shelby Lynne, Jakob Dylan, Linda Perry, Syd Straw, George Drakoulias, Joan Osborne, Marc Ribot, Don Was, Disney's High School Musical albums, and music written for for the Travel Channel, The Food Network, Fuller House, Jag, and more. His most recent high-profile gig was playing guitar in the house band in the 2019 film Echo in the Canyon, a documentary about the fertile late 60s music scene in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon. Echo in the Canyon found Pearlman sharing the screen and stage with some of the most respected and well-known musicians in history. Although Pearlman maintains a busy schedule working with other artists and producers, he continues to release his own albums to showcase his writing and performing. His new release, Lost in the Satellites, provides an interesting what-if glimpse into what modern pop music could sound like if the music industry hadn't been waylaid at the mumble rap exit. Lost in the Satellites is sonically rich and packed with great songs, inventive arranging, and performances by Pearlman and other musicians devoted to putting in the work necessary to be great at what they do.

Syd Straw's sweet, soulful voice has resonated through the last 30 years of American music, from her acclaimed solo work, to her own bands Bitchface and The Golden Palominos (featuring R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe), to her collaborations and guest appearances with everyone from Pat Benatar to Rickie Lee Jones to Wilco. She's also a familiar voice in the world of comedy, having recurred on Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and anyone who's seen her live knows that Syd's between-song patter is easily as funny as any standup. So this is an episode you won't want to miss, especially since it features two in-studio acoustic performances. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Syd's friend Gary Stewart, a towering figure in the L.A. music community and beyond.

Todd puts on his thinking cap to consider Syd Straw's barn-busting cover of the dB's "Think Too Hard."

Syd Straw released her first album, Surprise, in 1989. The record was full of earnest, broken-hearted songs with an impressive range for a new artist. The album's earthy tone landed Straw at the leading edge of the alternative country curve, and it led a seemingly open-ended invitation for Straw to lend her vocals to some of the best in the business. To name a few, Straw has been onstage and on records with Los Lobos, Wilco, Dave Alvin, Loudon Wainwright III, Leo Kottke, Rickie Lee Jones, Matthew Sweet, Van Dyke Parks, Freedy Johnston, James McMurtry, Marc Ribot, David Sanborn, Was Not Was, Victoria Williams, the dBs, Jimmer Podrasky, and The Golden Palominos. Subsequent albums followed in 1996, 2005 and 2008, and although releases may have been spread out, the quality of Straw's output never suffered. Although Straw is perhaps best known for her vocals, the unique and indelible spirit that she brings to a song or a project is what makes her a legend. She is quirky, to be sure, but she's also endearing, pleasantly sardonic and always creative - a perfect combination for a singular artist.
