That's How I Remember It

WILL JOHNSON is my guest on this week’s episode of That’s How I Remember It, and it’s a special one to me. I love Will as a friend and an artist. I’ve said as much in the new book “Patience For The Ride”, which features essays about the man and his music from illustrious folks like Patterson Hood, Jim James, and Jason Isbell. For the past few years he’s been a member of The 400 Unit and also fronted Magnolia Electric Company on recent shows. He continues to put out incredible solo records, including last year’s Diamond CIty. On top of all that, he’s got a very special sense of memory. All of this lines up to make for a beautiful talk and an excellent episode. Check it out now, and subscribe also!

Charlotte Cornfield is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. Charlotte first came on my radar through her great 2023 record Could Have Done Anything, which I wore out after millions of listens. She’s back with another great one, Hurts Like Hell. We talked about making that record as well as her great memory for show dates, songs about sandwiches, Rush, studio memories, and making January records. Great talk and I highly recommend listening to her record as well as this episode. Also, please subscribe!

Joshua Ray Walker is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. Joshua is a great singer-songwriter from Dallas, Texas, and in 2023, he was diagnosed with cancer. He was told at one point that his situation was dire. So, he went to work. He is now cancer-free, but has put out three records in a twelve-month period, which he calls “The Cancer Trilogy.” We talked about the most recent release, Ain’t Dead Yet, due in late May, as well as his second birthday memories, The White Stripes, The Longhorn Ballroom, Dan Fogelberg's “Same Old Lang Syne,” and his desire to create when he was ill. I’m very happy that Joshua is cancer-free, and super psyched that he joined me here for a great conversation. Listen and subscribe!

Kevin Drew from Broken Social Scene is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. I met Kevin years ago at some festivals our bands played together, and have always really enjoyed speaking with him, so I was thrilled to have him on the show. We talked about the great new BSS record as well as AC/DC, losing a parent, Rosie Grier, not having children, Dinosaur Jr., and the Broken Social Scene set at Lollapalooza 2006 - the best music festival set I’ve ever witnessed. This was such a great talk, huge thanks to Kevin for joining. Listen and subscribe!

José González is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It.
José is a fantastic guitarist and songwriter who just released a great new record Against The Dying of Light. We talked about his prior studies in biochemistry, pushing away intrusive thoughts when playing live, his roots in punk and hardcore, Quicksand, Richard Dawkins and ending on a hopeful note. Really great conversation, was a pleasure to have Jose on the pod. Check it out, listen and subscribe!
