Lots of interviews this year..so how do you pick the best of the best?
They pick you actually.
These interviews are the ones that stayed with me..resonated with truth,
passion and humour.
Two hours of the years most memorable interviews.. (and YES, I could have
done 3-4 more shows.)
Robbie Robertson – Original member and songwriter for The Band. One of the
greatest most influential groups ever. Talking about his book Testimony,
Dylan, The Last Waltz and writing The Weight!
The Wood Brothers – Wonderfully talented, gifted singers and songwriters.
Talking about The Band and their influence.
LeeRoy Stagger – Surely in the running for Top 100 albums of the year
Ron Sexsmith – Talking about The Last Rider and what his early years were
like.
Susan Tedeschi – Her husband Derek Trucks had to take another phone call but
Susan finished off our interview with some great thoughts about a life in
music
Stephen Fearing – Talking about his single Blowhard Nation and what
influenced the song.
Rhiannon Giddens – It’s all about what happens to her when one of the most
influential Producers T Bone Burnett offers to produce a solo album so the
World can really hear her voice. Interview backstage at this year’s Edmonton
Folk Festival
The Juno Couch – Yes it was recorded in 2016 but I played this special and
portions of it all during 2017..so I fudged a bit.
It was worth it – interviews with Buffy St Marie, Tom Cochrane, Miranda
Mulholland, Matt Good and Alan Doyle. All on the Couch together.
Bruce Cockburn – His first interview for new album Bone on Bone. Again, a
must have on the Top 100. Talks about the song that started it all Three Al
Purdy’s for a $20 bill
Bare Naked Ladies – Interviewed them twice..this one in Nanaimo. Focused on
an album that did not get the recognition it deserved, with The Persuaders.
And how that collaboration changed the way BNL sing some of their songs.
Grant Lawrence – On his book on The Smugglers Dirty Windshield.
This interview was about Grant and Nardwuar knocking on my door Halloween
Night.
Valerie June – again at the Edmonton folk festival. There’s also a YouTube
version of this CKUA interview. I expect her album will be Top 10, maybe
even Top 5
Huey Lewis – I really wanted to talk to Huey again, as I hadn’t seen him
for many years. I loved his blues take on hit music. We shared a common
take on what was great music. I asked him what it felt like walking out on
stage after all these years..what went on inside of him when the audience
found its voice.
By the way – Most of these interviews will be – In the Raw – on the
Mulligan Stew website . www.mulliganstew.ca<http://
And in January on the Mulligan Stew PODCAST

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

Is it the music? The weather? Moving outdoors as much as possible?
The looooog days and nights?
Whatever.
It all works. It’s Summer in Canada and the days are precious.
The music festivals are stacked up and ready to go.
I’m starting in Courtney Comox Northern Vancouver Island.
The vancouver Island music festival is fabulous.
In part because singer/songwriter and brilliant guitarist Doug Cox spends his year talking backstage to performers. Inviting them to join the music wheel.
From the line up We’ll play Emmy Lou Harris, bare naked ladies and Colin Linden.
I also have LIVE tracks from Dylan, Annie Lennox, Joe Bonamassa, Fats Domino, Eric Clapton (twice) The Eagle’s, Bruce Cockburn.
I hope to do an interview with Colin Linden and Bruce Cockburn. Colin produced Bruce’s new album Bone on Bone.
Got some Carl Perkins, Dave Edmunds and David Vest.
We finish off with Bonnie Raitt, Blue Rodeo, Roger Roger and Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions.
Enjoy your festival and Summer

It all started with Stephen Fearing’s Blowhard Nation.
One of the first musical responses to Donald Trump’s road to the Presidency.
Having been right in the middle of the 60’s musical revolution, lead by the songs of Dylan and voice of Joan Baez, I wondered where the voice of the music business was in the mix.
Many of the songs we’re playing now were written and recorded during the election process and now months of Trump in office.
Some of my questions were:
If there is a push back from the music makers where is it and who is it?
How did the election affect your new songs?
Is there room for protest songs in today’s music and radio?
I had no problem gathering replies. Everyone seemed to have an opinion.
So. From 8:30 to 9:30 this Saturday our guests will be
Jerome “Jerry” Leiber and Mike Stoller were American songwriting and record producing partners. Stoller was the composer and Leiber the lyricist.
Leiber and Stoller’s initial successes were as the writers of such crossover hit songs as “Hound Dog” and “Kansas City”. Later in the 1950s, particularly through their work with The Coasters, they created a string of ground-breaking hits that are some of the most entertaining in rock and roll, by using the humorous vernacular of the teenagers sung in a style that was openly theatrical rather than personal, songs that include “Young Blood”, “Searchin'”, and “Yakety Yak”. They were the first to surround black music with elaborate production values, enhancing its emotional power with The Drifters in “There Goes My Baby”, and influencing Phil Spector, who studied their productions while playing guitar on their sessions.
Leiber and Stoller wrote hits for Elvis Presley including “Love Me”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Loving You”, “Don’t”, and “King Creole”.[3] They also collaborated with other writers on such songs as “On Broadway”, written with Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil; “Stand By Me”, written with Ben E. King; “Young Blood”, written with Doc Pomus; and “Spanish Harlem”, co-written by Leiber and Phil Spector. In 1964, they launched Red Bird Records with George Goldner and, focusing on the “girl group” sound, released some of the greatest classics of the Brill Building period.
In all, Leiber and Stoller wrote or co-wrote In all over 70 chart hits. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
