Johnny "Guitar" Watson - Ain't That a Bitch (1976)

Send us Fan MailThe Reverend Shawn Amos is our guest today on the podcast. Matt has had a conversation with Shawn in the past, so he knew that Jeff would love speaking with The Good Reverend. Shawn opened up right away, getting deep and personal with Matt and Jeff about a wide variety of sociopolitical topics surrounding his latest album, Soul Brother No. 1, including the reckoning with past traumas that informs the music making up the album. But don't let us give you the wrong impression — much like many of the songs on the record, this was an honest, joyous exchange rather than a truly heavy conversation.Long story short, we really loved talking with Shawn — in fact, it was so satisfying to talk about Soul Brother No. 1 that we almost didn't have enough time to get into his love of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's Ain't That a Bitch. (Never fear; we did get there eventually.)Soul Brother No. 1 is out May 3 on Immediate Family Records. You can find more info via Shawn's links here.Here also is a link to his book, Cookies & Milk, which we discussed during this episode!Our thanks to Shawn for spending the time with us!Support the show
