Happy New Year from The Record Store Day Podcast.

We ring in 2024 with a 40-minute special episode featuring legendary Southern California session players, Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and Steve Postell, also known as The Immediate Family, which just happens to be the title of a new documentary by Denny Tedesco (The Wrecking Crew). And through the sporadically shaky miracle of Zoom, we had all six of these guys converge to talk about their collective brotherhood, the great artists they've worked with, the new documentary, and their own upcoming album, Skin In The Game.

We also spoke with Slate's Chris Molanphy about his extensive study of the historically significant Lil Nas X hit, "Old Town Road," in his book Old Town Road, out now from Duke University Press.

And Bay Area journalist Joel Selvin speaks on behalf of his late co-author, Arhoolie Records founder and mainstay Chris Strachwitz, about their new book Down Home Music, featuring Strachwitz's photographs from travels in the American rural south to curate the music that inspired a generation.
