Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond

Brandi Carlile came by Shangri La last year to talk to Rick Rubin with Tanya Tucker about the album they made together, While I'm Livin'. After Tanya left, Brandi stayed behind to talk about her love of Joni Mitchell's music, how she was present for a star studded jam that led to Joni singing for the first time since her stroke, and also about the beginning of her career, when Rick helped to discover her. Plus, Brandi plays an intimate version of her song "The Mother" for Rick.

Justin Townes Earle: In Memoriam

Our episode with Justin Townes Earle was scheduled to run next month. But after we heard about Earle's passing over the weekend, we decided to put it out sooner. It's a deeply sad conversation in some places. Especially given his passing. However, it's also incredibly soulful, funny and searching. And the performances, culled from Earle's last release, The Saint of Lost Causes, are brilliant. Bruce Headlam takes the reigns this episode for what's turned out to be a fitting tribute to one of the great, dynamic young performers and songwriters that's now gone way too soon. Rest in peace, Justin Townes Earle [1982-2020].

Transcript

Speaker 100:00:08.199

Pushkin, armed with only what she calls poor kid work ethic. Brandy Carlisle spent the early part of her life fighting her parents, politics, the church, and fighting to be heard while singing over belligerent drunks and crowded bars. Brandy's voice demands attention, as you might recall hearing in our episode with Jack White and Brendan Benson. Her twenty nineteen Grammy performance of her song The Joke blew even her most critical of peers away.
