Shawn Colvin

...

Shawn Colvin, Robert Earl Keen, and Pat McLaughlin, and John Hiatt.

And I, me and Sylvan, who does the John Hiatt podcast with me, are going to Nashville-

Oh

And during Buddy's set, he was joined on stage by his fellow Band of Joy member, Robert Plant; in addition to being joined by Emmylou Harris, who is one of the many guests on this album, Buddy Miller, his first solo album in 15 years.

Those other guests include Shawn Colvin, Lee Ann Womack, Ashley Monroe, The War and Treaty, Jim Lauderdale, Elizabeth Cook, Dan Penn, Regina McCrary, Larry Campbell, and Teresa Williams.

It's an eclectic album, and Buddy himself is an affable and fascinating fellow, and I really enjoyed speaking with him a few weeks ago, shortly after the passing of Dolly Parton and Hayden Panettiere, both of whom worked very closely with Buddy.

So our conversation kinda opened there.

Thank you.

Uh, it, it kind of felt like that to me.

You know, I had, while I was out on the road, um, with Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, and Shawn Colvin, they, it's something called Three Girls and Their Buddy.

A lack of bad name, band names at that time, but, um-

Uh, but also featured on there, The Fugees showed up and did the song Just Be Happy To Me.

Um, Shawn Colvin did a duet with, uh, Ernie singing I Don't Want to Live on the Moon, probably my favorite song ever from Sesame Street.

Kenny Loggins showed up.

Jimmy Buffett did Caribbean Amphibian featuring Kermit the Frog.

Sunny.

Shawn Colvin, Sunny Came Home.

Yeah, Sunny Came Home.

That wasn't on the list.

And, uh, Edie, I'm gonna cite a, a, a similar example.

You and Shawn Colvin and John Leventhal, uh, wrote the song Roger Wilco that showed up on, uh, uh, Shawn's album, Whole New You, several years ago.

And these are two examples, one, one from each of you, of you are both artists in your own right.

You have put out, you have each put out solo albums under your own name.

So he just started playing, and I sang, "Roger will go.

It's okay.

I'll go along with everything you say." And about, I don't know, a few months later, I, he, he said, uh, "We want- we're gonna use this in, in this Shawn Colvin song." I'd never met her.

[laughs]

You can still have fun.
