The Song: Inside and Out Episode #0004 “Ray Vietti”

In this episode we welcome long time friend, Ray Vietti of The Harmed Brothers, to the show. We last talked to Ray on EP119 of IBWIP. In this episode Ray and I discuss his song, “Greetings From Mardi Gras” from the album, “All The Lies You Wanna Hear”. Although the song was released in 2010, I thought it would be a great song to talk about and find out about his inspiration. Ray did an amazing job discussing the origins of the song in great detail. It’s a really interesting story that prompted Ray to write the song. The events that he wrote about in this song were instrumental in the forming of The Harmed Brothers as well. The guys have even recently re-recorded the song for an album that is slated to be released in February 2016. Ray even discusses the chord progression for the song and he and I come to the conclusion that everything in life ALWAYS leads back to the F. It was great having Ray on and this episode and it s shaping up to be one of the best I have done in my 8 years of interviewing artists.

We are so pumped about having Lou Shields as our guest on this episode. This is the first time we have interviewed him and it’s been two years in the making. In this interview we get to know a little more about Lou before we dig into his song Grateful, from his album American Relic which came out in December of 2014. Find out how he got into blues music, the life event that lead him to get serious about playing guitar, and his influences. Lou also talks about balancing his life that includes music, touring, skateboarding, teaching, and art. We also discuss his recent tour in Europe as well as his new vinyl release Deep River (which will only be available on vinyl). Finally we will talk about the song “Grateful”.

The Song: Inside and Out Episode #0001 “James Hunnicutt”

We are honored to have our friend James Hunnicutt kick off our new podcast. In this episode we deep dive into his song “Risk The Fall”. During the interview James talks about how the song came to be, what he was trying to convey in the lyrics, and even about how musically this is one of the most basic melodies he has ever written. But don’t let him fool you it’s the song’s message that is what blows listeners away. James also talks about how he tries to live life with positive energy and love as well as how he deals with the struggles that life sometimes brings. He talks about some of his favorite songwriters, why he does what he does, and of course there is mention of Star Wars. I couldn’t think of a better person help us begin, what I hope, will be a long line of great interviews that focus on The Song: Inside and Out.
