The John Goodwin Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

On this episode we present one of Paul Leslie’s favorite artists ever.

John Goodwin is one of the few songwriters and recording artists who makes music as a completely free expression. This is the first interview in a series Paul had with this artist John Goodwin. We get a good concept of John Goodwin as an artist and in particular learn about some of the songs from his albums “Thorny” and “State of the Artist.”

Listening to John Goodwin presents a big question. What would happen if the record companies and commercial radio embraced the idea of limitless expression and freedom of creativity?
