Episode 35 - David Barbe

Seth and Rob are joined on the phone by Patterson Hood and they discuss, among other things, Drive-By Truckers' history, their politically-charged latest album, "American Band" and their unique songwriting process. Then Patterson talks glowingly about David Barbe to set the table for the interview Seth and Rob traveled to the University of Georgia to conduct. They discuss that school's Music Business Program, which we learn has grown to attract top notch academic candidates who discover and/or nurture their areas of industry interest. The program also features guest lecturers from across the industry including Jason Isbell's manager Tracey Thomas, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound front man Bradford Cox and Hood himself. Rob and Seth also explore Barbe's musical career, and we learn of the ups and downs of Mercyland, and how perfectly timed his professional liaison with Bob Mould was. Their band, Sugar would produce one of the greatest records of the 80s, "Copper Blue." wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds (wonderdogsounds.com) Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.
