Show Notes
Gary US Bonds joins Eric in conversation. We talk about the early days growing up in Norfolk, singing on corners and eventually ending up with LaGrand Records and recording Quarter To Three, New Orleans and some of his early hits. We talk about some of the early touring packages he was part of with such legends as Sam Cooke, BB King, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles and more. How did he first connect with Bruce Springsteen in the late 70s, how did they end up in the studio and memories around some of those songs. Are there unreleased songs he recorded with Bruce from that era? Also, what was it like trying to capture his loooong career into his autobiography By US Bonds, That's My Story and what's next, mai tais!
