We kick off the first episode of the year with Anty McClean, lead singer/songwriter of The Trailer Park Troubadours and longtime friend of the “Songs and Stories” podcast. Antsy and Italk about songwriting, his DIY approach to everything he does, and his recent fan "field trip" to Sun Studios, where he recored his new record, "Heroes Last Forever".

This very cool "Songs and Stories" two-parter features two chats with Antsy McClain, lead singer, songwriter (and fellow podcaster) of the Americana band the Trailer Park Troubadours. I'm finding myself overusing the phrase "gold standard" lately, but Antsy fits the bill. He's just darned good at it. Antsy's also a heck of a lot of fun to hang out and talk shop with, as you'll soon discover. In episode #51, we talk backstage at the Rio Theater in Santa Cruz on the night of the "New Good Old Days" release party. We discuss the trailer motif that runs through much of his music and how he came into songwriting as a visual artist.

The second half of this two-parter features Antsy McClain, lead singer, songwriter (and fellow podcaster) of the Americana band the Trailer Park Troubadours. We pick upour interview outside KPIG radio, where Ansty plays "Right Side of the Dirt" and "New Good Old Days" off his new record and explains the "laughing in the face of death" idea that runs through the CD.
