Episode 412: Episode 412 - Steve Poltz discusses Rickie Lee Jones' "Pirates"

from Records Revisited · host Ben Montgomery

This one is an instant classic! Steve Poltz was the last guy from the "Frasier Fair" tour that I had yet to have on the podcast (the mini tour of Steve, John Doe, Glen Phillips and Pete Droge) and Steve does NOT disappoint. What a blast. We talk about John Doe, encyclopedia salesmen (and the inspiration behind his "Son of God" song), testing the concept of sequencing albums, Steely Dan and other personnel Rickie enlisted for this album, Broadway, and much more.
