Podcast: Episode 003 – He Winked and Laughed at Me
This month’s podcast is a great example of what one can expect from future episodes. We have artists that represent a wide variety of styles, backgrounds, experience and even notoriety. While many will instantly recognize Chris Knight and Wade Bowen — thanks to years of relentless touring — my hope is that you will soon have the same sense of familiarity with the two other acts featured in this episode. Bearfoot, a young bluegrass outfit from Alaska, and Eastwood, a harmonizing country band from Dallas, represent my favorite aspect of producing these podcasts, and that is the introduction of talented bands that deserve a bigger audience, similar to the followings of the more well-known names from this episode. Please enjoy and let us know what you think of the music and interviews in the comment section.

Thanks guys, I still get nervous when the podcast is posted…
Speaking of nervous, yeah, Chris Knight was intimidating, but that had as much to do with my adulation of him, and the fact that it didnt seem as though his mgr had let him know about the interview until he actually introduced me to him, and then since we were at a loud outdoor festival in Ft. Worth, we had to go inside to a hot van with the a.c. off (for recording purposes) to do the recording. You may be able to tell that the van door was opened a time or two also while the interview was going on…hey, the fact is, I wouldve sat in a pile of cow chips if it meant I got to talk to Chris Knight…
