Joseph PreissingGUEST

Joseph PreissingGUEST
So I got the gig.
8 MINS LATER
Joseph PreissingGUEST
So I got into the business side of it.
Joseph PreissingGUEST
I went to my undergrad at Columbia College in Chicago for arts and entertainment management.
Joseph PreissingGUEST
And my first job right out of college was at American Famous Talent, which is a talent agency in Chicago that represented Buddy Guy, Coco Taylor, Levon Helm, John Mayall, Frank Marino.

Colin JohnGUEST
Right? And then I remember seeing like a PBS show where there was like Buddy Guy and Sun Seals and Mighty Joe Young and these blues guys.
Colin JohnGUEST
And I was like, whoa, that's the deal.
Colin JohnGUEST
So I started really being drawn to blues, but at the same time I was into rock and roll.
Colin JohnGUEST
Anyways, I digress.
Colin JohnGUEST
I was into the Stones and the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Cream, combined with all these old blues guys.
Colin JohnGUEST
And I sort of dug my way back from, you know, Buddy Guy to who's this Charlie Patton, who's Robert Johnson, Roger White.
Colin JohnGUEST
And I really got into that.

Mark StriglHOST
I mean, you had a long history with him.
Mark StriglHOST
You recorded music that won a Grammy, right, with him.
Scott HoltGUEST
And it's
Mark StriglHOST
wild to hear you say that, because I can't help but think, that your attitude and your vibe, you know, was probably an attraction that Buddy had towards you that allowed him to make music with you.
Mark StriglHOST
I mean, if you would have been all nervous and, oh, my God, this is Buddy Guy, it might not have worked out, right?
Scott HoltGUEST
It would have probably freaked him out, yeah.
LionelHOST
And it's been tough being the president.
LionelHOST
He's had no, I mean, put it this way, there's been no, remember the music, the great music under Obama? Oh my God, Buddy Guy, Mick Jagger.

It hasn't even been released yet.
Christopher WiseGUEST
Um, it's, uh, it's number 27 on the roots music report, um, blues chart which includes all music and that's all blues music Joe Bonamassa and Buddy Guy and you name it we're right smack dab at number 27 after being out one day so it's getting a tremendous and those charts there are based on radio play so it's getting a tremendous amount of radio play because if you listen to it the music doesn't sound like the plinky 1928 music it's their songs through and through I respect the hell out of them I love their music And it's done the way that me and Jerry and JB make our music.
Christopher WiseGUEST
I sing.
Christopher WiseGUEST
I sing a certain way.
speaker_2HOST
Lemon Song there from Led Zeppelin from their second album.
speaker_2HOST
Of course, that's an amalgamation of the Skip James track, which we heard covered before that by Buddy Guy, Hard Time Killin' For, as well as the Lemon Song being a part or a lyric out of a song from Robert Johnson.
speaker_2HOST
So the lyrics on the Lemon Song is just kind of a grabbing from throughout their early blues by Led Zeppelin.
speaker_2HOST
Let's continue on.
Pete McMurrayHOST
makes me happy to see this every time we're on the air.
Pete McMurrayHOST
