Podcast appearances and mentions of wesley stace

Send us a textOn this weeks episode, we discuss an LP by John Wesley Harding (né Wesley Stace), 1996's John Wesley Harding's New Deal. After releasing two EPs and three full length albums with a full band for Sire Records, Harding decided to strip down his sound for his debut on his new label Forward Records (an imprint of Rhino Records). Harding much preferred the intimacy of  acoustic live performances and created an album that embraced that aesthetic whole heatedly.  Described by Harding as “gangsta folk,”  John Wesley Harding's New Deal  is a beautiful record and a fan favorite. It was the first time Harding had the freedom to make the record he always wanted to make. The song arrangements are simple and direct, putting the focus of the lyrics., which are both sly and whimsical, and full of British charm. And as an added bonus, the album even includes a fantastic sequel of sorts to the Kink's “Waterloo Sunset.”Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

The New York-based singer/keyboardist/guitarist had several releases with Nova Social from '98-'14 while also serving as music director for Wesley Stace's Cabinet of Wonders variety show. After four solo releases, he's formed a new project setting his droll lyrics in a '60s Brazilian setting called As For the Future. We discuss "Koan for the Music Business" (and listen at the end to "Encyclopedia of Songs") from this project's 2024 self-titled album, "See the Devil" from Songs of Advice and Adversity (2020 EP), and "Drunk at the Prom" by Nova Social from For Any Inconvenience (2011).

Wesley Stace was probably first known to Dylan fans by his stage name, John Wesley Harding - when he delivered great songs and albums from the late 80's through the turn of the century - including 'It Happened One Night', 'Here Comes The Groom', 'Awake' and others. This century he's continued to put out fine records and tour under his given name - including the recently released 'Late Style'. Wes has played a lot of Dylan covers, been to a lot of Dylan shows, and is quite the knowledgable fan -- as you'll hear in this episode. Wes shares his thoughts on Dylan in the 80's and early 90's, his initial reactions to hearing Time Out Of Mind, and his even greater love for Love and Theft. This is the first in a series of interviews with working musicians, to learn how they think about TOOM and Dylan in general. It's also the first of two episodes with Wes, as he had so many interesting things to say that two episodes were necessary.

Early in his career, English songwriter Wesley Stace borrowed his stage name from that of Bob Dylan's eighth album. His stateside success arrived under the John Wesley Harding banner, as did his sole SNAP session from June 10, 1991. Touring in support of his album “The Name Above The Title,” Stace also borrowed Steve Wynn's backing band. Now called The Deceivers, the band provides sturdy and sympathetic support to Stace's wordy and melodic tunes.
