Episode #185 – MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER
Special guests JOHN LOWELL and JOANNE GARDNER LOWELL join us to share the backstories and music from their much anticipated new album ON MY WAY HOME. Every song is a story encouraging you to hit “play” or “repeat” again and again! True to its title, each song captures a moment of an individual’s life now remembered and recalled – perhaps with joy, or regret, or a longing to return to that moment…”home.” There are stories inspired by history like “Stagecoach Mary,” “The Print Behind The Bar,” and “Richmond.” And stories forged in the Western romance of fugitives and outlaws. Every song compels you to cease multi-tasking and just…listen. Close your eyes and imagine. We’ll chat with John and Joanne about the inspiration behind the album, the songs and its production, about the songwriting process, and the secrets behind a successful co-writing partnership!
Nine original songs written or co-written by John with Joanne, Rick Lang, Anne Sibley, and Sarah Pierce are accompanied with songs by Dean Johnson, Ben Bullington and Alton Delmore.
