Episode 42 – Fats Kaplin: Extended Interview

What this episode covers

The Third Men Podcast is proud to present this all-new extended interview with legendary recording artist Fats Kaplin! Fats has been a familiar face (and sound!) for Third Man Records over the past decade, playing on a host of blue room series singles, both Jack White solo albums, both Jack White solo tours and much much more! But Fats' career doesn't start with Third Man - the fat man has had a long, storied musical journey which began with his first LP release in 1975 alongside Roy Bookbinder and which ranges from stints with the Tom Russell Band to Kane Welch Kaplin to Pure Prairie League to name but a few. From his beginnings as a rambling fiddle player on the streets of New York as a young man in the late 60's, to playing arenas alongside Jack White, we cover it all and get to the bottom of everyone's go-to theremin specialist and pedal steel maestro! We here at the Third Men podcast would like to thank Fats for stopping by and being so wonderful and generous with his time - it was a treat interviewing him and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
