The Highwomen

There are bonus interviews, lots of music and, uh, film news as well.

Uh, one of my recent episodes featured some classics and favorites from the band James, Josh Rouse, Johnny Cash, Tina Turner, Nina Simone, uh, Bettye LaVette, Paul Simon, Crash Test Dummies, New Radicals, Wilco, Tiana Esperanza, The Highwomen, Counting Crows, Leon Bridges, Wolf Alice, Feist, Todd Snider, Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., Kings of Leon, Green Day, Sheryl Crow, and my interviews with, uh, with everyone from Sting, Lindsey Buckingham, Bryan Ferry, Monica Bellucci, Matilda De Angelis, Harriet Walter, Les Claypool, Maynard James Keenan, uh, Anna Camp, Tony Hale.

Uh, that's what you get when you tune in.

So tune in weeknights.

I think it's fair to say the customer was not expecting the level of feedback I offered, nor the number of related stories I could tell about the songs.

For example, I said the High Woman's version of The Chain sounded, to my ears, completely identical to the original, which made me wonder why they bothered.

That said, if you have such an iconic song, you would be foolish to change it, an argument which was completely undermined by Wilson Pickett's version of Hey Jude.

later on gunn's and rose's version of live and let die came under the spotlight leading me to explain that when i was in a covers band we used the latter as the middle eight of the former I then realised that I'd spoken for 20 minutes of our half-hour meeting and apologised profusely.

And that we're all in this together.

You know, not to fast to the governor's campaign, but it's the reason why our campaign is using a song by the High Women called Crowded Table as our theme.

And that

is, you know, I want to build a house with a crowded table where there's a place by the fire for everyone.

Mm.

Others are in the world of country music, like The Highwomen.

But the one I wanna focus on right now is actually blowing up on TikTok-

Mm

People say that Nirvana killed hair metal, but really 10 is what did it.

Recently, I was at this thing, my wife's band, the High Women, were playing at Kennedy Center Honors.

And I was there backing them up.

And the next morning, I was in the gym working out, and Eddie Vedder walks into the gym.

She's sang with so many different artists.

She's part of a group called the High Women.

They're four like folky country singers who all sing together and every song they write is amazing.

They have an amazing song called The Crowded Table that I will someday get that song written into like a piece of art to hang above my dining room table.
