@rhettmiller

I sing for Old 97's, make solo records, and play Bzer in the GOTG Holiday Special. I also write poems and prose. I love what I do and I’ve had pretty good luck.

Webb arrives with a new album, 'Yours for the Taking: The Found Songs of Jimmy Webb,' and an hour of PBS's Great Performances devoted to his work. The conversation is packed with hard-won songwriting advice.

Webb makes the case that a great title can do most of the work, explains why every song needs a message (a lesson from his Motown days), and argues that writing a song is harder than writing a poem.

So what happens when a machine can keep the beat better than any drummer? Copeland has thoughts. From Wheels Off episode 177, Copeland talks about The Police, life as a working musician in the age of AI, and why selling out isn’t always a bad thing.

Waylon bristled at the image of himself as a young man with the four Old 97’s depicted as angels floating around him. He didn’t like it and the whole project was shelved for 17 years.

She also discusses the long road to recording her album, including a year-long hunt to clear a sample from an old Western for her opener, "Sleeping With My Boots On" - why touring is exhausting, yet still one of her favorite things, and the simple motto that keeps her grounded.
