Show 41 – The Genre-Defying Music of Robert Randolph Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

One of our favorite interviews this past year was a conversation with Robert Randolph, fresh off his “Brighter Days” album. As you’ll hear, Robert is both confident and energetic -and a tremendous amount of fun. While we were doing the interview in the lobby of Nashville’s War Memorial Auditorium, the venue’s staffers asked to shoot […]

Show #39 Raul Malo on “The Mavericks Play the Hits” Oct 30, 2019

In this edition of the Americana One Podcast, Raul Malo tells us why the Mavericks decided to cover songs like Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart," Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel" and Freddy Fender's "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" - all with new arrangements and in delightfully tacky packaging.

Show 37 Jason Ringenberg Stands Tall Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

Jason Ringenberg is spending his September touring Europe with Dan Baird and the Kentucky Headhunters (now that’s a show), but we caught up with him recently at the 895 Fest.

Show #38 Mandy Barnett and her “Strange Conversation” Jun 30, 2019

Show notes

We recently enjoyed a not-so-strange chat with the engaging Mandy Barnett about her new album Strange Conversation. The setting was WMOT’s 895 Fest on the fields of the Hop Spring Beer Park, a distinctly different venue than her upcoming “Nashville Songbook” concert at Feinstein’s/54 Below on Broadway on August 13. But that’s no surprise. Mandy […]

By Ken Paulson Gary Nicholson, one of Nashville’s most respected songwriters and artists, is overachieving these days.

His The Great Divide captures that […]
