Ep. #1135: Jake Xerxes Fussell

Jake Xerxes Fussell returns to discuss his new album, The Old Beloved Path, us meeting up at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival just moments before I took my daughter to see AC/DC, Jake’s limited experiences at big shows beyond Bob Dylan’s and a band he’d love to see one day, a lengthy discussion about “Rock Island Line” and The Compleat Beatles, contemplating aging and transience, the historical implications of musical interpretation and adaptation, why Jake would rather write a book than a song, working with Ben Whiteley, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.

All Things Konsidered: The Beatles Anthology

During Family Day in Canada, my wife and kids and I gathered around our kitchen table to discuss our shared experience watching all nine episodes of The Beatles Anthology documentary series. Please enjoy two parents and their 14- and 11-year-old children reflecting upon what we learned and liked about the Beatles, including who loves John, Paul, George, and Ringo the most. One correction: contrary to what I stated during this talk, Elvis Presley did in fact perform outside of the United States of America for a run of shows in Canada, sorry.  

Featuring music produced by Levon Khanna.
