Echoes Podcast: The Complete Joe Boyd Interview

A Global Music Journey with Joe Boyd: The Echoes Podcast Last week we brought you the broadcast version of our interview with Joe Boyd.  Well, it was a pretty deep, wide-ranging interview that was hard to condense into 15 minutes so today I’m giving you our entire conversation in the Echoes Podcast..  Just to remind you you, Joe Boyd is a legendary producer and discoverer of new music from Pink Floyd (“Arnold Lane”), Nick Drake, Maria Muldaur, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, and Muzsikás, to his Hannibal world music label, and more. A few years ago he wrote a great book that was a memoir of his life in the rock and roll world, White Bicycles. Now he’s written a deep dive into the influence of world music on western culture called And the Roots of Rhythm Remain – A Journey Through Global Music. From Ravi Shankar, to Flamenco, from South Africa to Paul Simon, Desi Arnaz to Dizzy Gillespie, it is a long, sometimes convoluted trip, all in search of an authentic music presence. We bring you our complete interview with this global traveler in the Echoes Podcast from PRX.
