E23.31: The Life and Times of a Session Cat, with Marty Walsh

Self-described “second-call studio musician” Marty Walsh has chronicled his own life and times serving as a studio cat for hire during (and after) the yacht rock era. He joins Tom and John to provide an inside look at a west-coast studio session from the golden era of music production that we adore.  Rubbing shoulders with the Jay Graydons, David Fosters and Michael Omartians of the world, Marty has stories to tell and secrets to reveal. Tune in to get a...second-hand look (?) at the first-rate studio gigs that made up the music we love to this day. And check out these credits! Marty has seen it all, done it all, and played with and for the best of the best. He joins us this week to break it all down for us!
