Show Notes

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Willie Nelson broke all the rules and retained full creative control on his country-western concept album "Red Headed Stranger". The boys discuss lead vocal phrasing, murderous preachers, and bass harmonicas.
