Episode 80 – Johnny Walker: Extended Interview

What this episode covers

The Third Men Podcast is proud to present an all-new exclusive extended interview with the talented, the soulful, the legendary Johnny Walker! As a founding member of seminal blues rock revivalists <em>The Soledad Brothers</em>, he (along with fellow co-founder Ben Swank) would help define the sound of the garage rock revolution of the turn of the millennium and provide a musical companion piece to friends and contemporaries <em>The White Stripes</em>. Of course Third Man fans also know Johnny's work from his incredible slide guitar on the Stripes' eponymous debut album, but his collaborations with Jack over the years also include cameo appearances from <em>Stripes</em> on Soledad releases such as 2002's <em>Steal Your Soul And Dare Your Spirit To Move</em> as well as Jack's now-legendary snow shovel solo on their debut Italy Records single. In addition to his days as a Soledad Brother, Johnny can be heard on releases from <em>Henry and June</em>, <em>Cut In the Hill Gang </em>and <em>All-Seeing Eyes</em> to name but a few, and we discuss his storied career this week in one of our most unique extended interviews to date! We here at the Third Men podcast would like to thank Johnny for joining us on our show and we hope you'll all partake in his fabulously detailed insect removal advice! (it's a long story, you'll hear about it on the show)<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
