TMP144 Jason Ricci: Mooncat Rising
from Troubled Men Podcast Hosted by René and Manny
Widely considered one of the top harmonica players in the world, the singer and songwriter has been making records, winning awards, and thrilling audiences since he was a teenager. Ricci spent time studying and playing with blues legends like James Cotton, Charlie Musselwhite, Johnny Winter, R.L. Burnside, and Howard Levy, and would come to be accepted by them as a peer.

Topics include a deep freeze, Mardi Gras, rolling blackouts, Lent, Larry Flynt RIP, a guest recording, a new number, skate punk roots, flaka, a first teacher, teen trouble, “The Last Stop,” Idaho, Pat Ramsey in Memphis, living with the Kimbrough family, the N. Mississippi Hill Country, Fat Possum Records, Florida rehab, a 12-year sentence, Blues Music Awards, female players, Paul Butterfield, a low point, coming out, sobriety, marriage to Kaitlin Dibble, a YouTube powerhouse, a new mindset, and much more.
