    39 Stony Hill

    Stony Hill is G. E. Smith's new project. Listeners to Sidetrack Liner Notes know G. E's stellar resume. He's entered a new phase with this collaboration with Seattle singer songwriter Leroy Bell. We coaxed them to the microphones for this podcast following a photo shoot for their new album "Stony Hill". It is obvious from the music these guys create that they are glad the found each other having a good time creating great music for us to enjoy. This free flowing podcast is pretty enjoyable also. Check out "Stony Hill".

    42 Analog Man Mike Piera

    Trained as an electrical engineer but with a passion for music Mike Piera aka Analog Man is the perfect guide to the extremely dense world of effect pedals. He started by repairing desirable vintage pedals which led him to modifying, reproducing, and eventually manufacturing his own line of Analog Man Pedals. We visited with Mike in early March 2020 for this SLN podcast where we discuss the ever expanding world of effect pedals. His shop-office is a veritable museum of vintage pedals and musical ephemera. It is also the production line for his Analog Man line of pedals. Let's describe Analog Man pedals as "Bespoke" which means "Made to Measure". Analog Man doesn't build them until they are ordered. "Snake Oil" and "B S" are rampant in this corner of the music industry but Mike is a straight shooter who knows his subject and tells it like it is. You've been warned his pedals are highly addictive.

    41: G.E.Smith

    Of course GE has done it all. He started playing publicly in Pennsylvania when he was 11, did the obligatory 10,000 hours with The Scratch Band in Ct., lead the powerhouse Saturday Night Live band in New York, toured the world playing with Bob Dylan among others and is active today with a newly recorded album waiting in the wings soon to be released. His first hand knowledge of instruments and equipment can not be matched. The man knows what he's talking about and doesn't hold back. This is a much anticipated and enjoyable podcast recorded on a sparkling day in Amagansett. He is most generous with his time and stories. Settle in for a pleasurable and wide ranging conversation with one of the smartest, most talented and just plain nicest musicians today.

    40:Thomas Goldsmith

    Tommy Goldsmith writer, musician, record producer, historian and raconteur has just released "Earl Scruggs and Foggy Mountain Breakdown The Making of an American Classic". Sure there are musicians who have left their mark on music. Will anyone ever play the cornet like Louis Armstrong, the cello like Pablo Casals, the saxophone like Charlie Parker, or the electric bass like Jaco Pastorius ? Earl Scruggs not only excelled at his chosen instrument, the 5 string banjo but created a music that can't be played without his style. Goldsmith tells the story of Scruggs development and of Bluegrass Music itself from the inside. His 30 years of writing on music and culture for newspapers in N.C. and Tenn. along with producing over 20 records for various artists in Nashville give him a unique perspective. As a musician himself Goldsmith understood exactly what Earl was talking about when he interviewed him over several years of their friendship. Goldsmith also edited "The Bluegrass Reader" which won the Best Journalist award from the International Bluegrass Music Association.

    We return to John Hammond's place to continue our conversation that was recorded in SLN #37. In this podcast he discusses some of his favorite guitars and why. He shares great stories of the Greenwich Village scene he was so much a part of in the 60s and the shift to electric music that he helped bring about. We continue his tales of touring and recording which continue through today.

    37: John Hammond

    The Blues have always been John Hammond's musical passion. Throughout his career he has explored all facets of The Blues from primitive solo acoustic to sophisticated urban played with a who's who of stellar accompanist. He started in his hometown of New York City as a member of the folk revival but his emphasis was on the blues always leading the pack with his deep knowledge, ability, taste and charisma. He was performing Robert Johnson and incorporating electric accompaniment long before anyone else. He has always performed live throughout his career and generously shares great stories of his life both as a performer and recording artist. In this Sidetrack Liner Notes podcast (the first of 2) we trace his career by exploring his LP s in chronological order. It is with a small amount of pride that we note the John Hammond performed at The Sidetrack Coffee House in 1965.

    36: Steve Earle

    Most of us found out about Steve Earle when his first album, "Guitar Town" came out in 1986. It is still one of the best first album from any artist ever. To date he has released 17 albums and won Grammeys for several of them. If that weren't enough, he has appeared in 2 television series, "The Wired" and "Treme" and written 2 books. His most recent album "Guy" is composed entirely of songs by one of his Texas songwriting mentors, Guy Clark. In this podcast Steve shares his strong opinions on a range of topics: recording techniques, musicians who deserve the designation- genius, his admiration for his touring band, The Dukes, the quality of certain acoustic and electric guitars etc. It's a rapid fire conversation where the facts and anecdotes come at you fast and furious. If you're a SLN listener you will love this podcast.

    35: Dan Forte - Bonus Track

    But wait, there's more. At 3 1/2 hours podcast 34 was hardly short. Don't even ask how we left this out of that podcast but we did, we found it and now you can listen to even more of Dan's stories. Included in this podcast are his stories of interviewing George Harrison and more about his father's record collection and Tommy Tedesco. We think it will be many moons before Dan's record for length of podcast and number of entertaining stories is equaled. Enjoy.
