Ep. 86 - BILLY EDD WHEELER ("Jackson")
Songcraft: Spotlight on Songwriters - A podcast by Scott B. Bomar, Paul Duncan
Categorie:
Scott & Paul chat with the Yale-educated "hillbilly poet" about why he wishes Richie Havens hadn't covered his song at Woodstock; the advice Jerry Leiber gave him about how to write lyrics; why he felt like a "man without a country" while appealing to both commercial country audiences and playing at the Newport Folk Festival; the time he picked up the phone to discover Elvis on the other end of the line; and a big revelation about which "Jackson" the iconic song actually refers to.
