    James Woods on Faith, Music, Dolly Parton & The Killer’s Wife

    James Woods joins me on The Vinelife Podcast to talk about his brand-new album, The Killer’s Wife, his unexpected second act as a songwriter, and the stories behind his music. James shares how “The Hearts of Men” was inspired by Matthew 24 and influenced by Johnny Cash, why he and producer Shooter Jennings refuse to use AI or Auto-Tune, and how Bob Wayne helps bring his lyrics to life. We also talk about his memories of working with Dolly Parton, his musical influences, the resurgence of vinyl, and how songs can begin with something as simple as a phrase, a memory, or a street sign. One of the most personal moments comes when James tells the story behind “Hello Friend,” written for his childhood best friend who died from cystic fibrosis before he had the chance to return her final call and say goodbye.

    Meet Ellie—the dog behind The Vinelife Podcast logo! 🐾

    Her full name is Eleanor Alice, which happens to rhyme with malice…and once she hits the backyard, that name starts making a lot of sense. She’s a rescued BoJack—Boston Terrier/Jack Russell mix—who is perfect inside but loves digging holes, chasing squirrels and creating a little chaos outside. And, of course, you can’t miss that legendary underbite. Here’s a quick introduction to the little rescue dog who found her way into my home—and eventually onto the Vinelife logo. 🎙️ www.vinelife.us #VinelifePodcast #MeetEllie #RescueDog #BoJack #DogLovers
