Jakob Dylan

Before the mid-90’s success of the Wallflowers, Jakob Dylan and Tobi Miller were part of the Bootheels, a quartet led by bassist/vocalist Luther Russell. Although the group’s time was short – they only played a handful of gigs, they left behind some incendiary music – documented in 1988: the Original Demos from Omnivore Recordings.Russell later formed the Freewheelers before joining Big Star drummer Jody Stephens in the Those Pretty Wrongs. Bootheel drummer Aaron Brooks would later work with Moby, Lana Del Rey and others.We chat with Russell about the crazy circumstances that led to the forming of the band, how their rehearsal space evolved into a small, but packed-out concert venue, and why the Replacements were such a huge influence on the group. He also talks about upcoming projects, both solo and with Stephens.

380 - Luther Russell - Archival Release, The Bootheels, with Jakob Dylan

The Yesterday &amp; Today podcast is excited to welcome special guest Luther Russell to the show this week to analyze, review and ruminate on a trilogy of albums 50 years in the making! It's an episode we had to title McCartney: Anatomy of A Trilogy. In 1970 the world became aware of the breakup of the Beatles when Macca's first solo album, McCartney, hit shelves accompanied by a widely publicized and (arguably) misconstrued press release - one that seemed to indicate the demise of the fab four. Whatever the intentions of said press release, the very high profile of this interview and its corresponding homespun collection of tunes would spark the beginning of Paul's solo career and set into motion a series of one-man-show efforts on behalf of McCartney in the decades to come. In 1980 McCartney II was released, a sequel that proved to be a similar demarcation of the winding down of Paul's band Wings, and yet another exercise in isolated musical experimentation. 40 years later, in the thick of a global pandemic, McCartney III emerged to complete the trilogy and once more found McCartney's introspective craftsmanship at a peak. In this episode we'll examine all three releases and explore the possible connective tissue between each installment. Luther is on hand to lend his expert opinion as a singer, songwriter and musical craftsman of his own wide acclaim - and we'd like to thank Mr. Russell for the wonderful conversation! But that's not all -  we also want to hear from YOU! Which of these three albums are your favorite? Do each live up to the name? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

McCartney: Anatomy of A Trilogy feat. Luther Russell

In which my returning guest and I discuss this: what if The Beatles' songwriting credits were more accurately apportioned to reflect actual significant contributions from not-credited bandmates? Their recording career began with a singular "McCartney-Harrison" credit for "In Spite of All The Danger" - one can make the case (and we do) that their career was book-ended by "I Me Mine," which might have rightfully have bore the same credit.   Anyway, as always, it leads down many rabbit holes...

199: Credit Where Due with Luther Russell

Luther Russell may not be a household name, but he’s managed to put together an impressive body of work over the last 30 years.  He played in a pre-Wallflowers band with Jakob Dylan called The Bootheels;  got signed to a major label in the 1990’s with the roots-rock outfit, The Freewheelers; worked with former Black Crowes’ guitarist Marc Ford in Federale, and is currently in a band with Big Star drummer Jody Stephens called Those Pretty Wrongs.  He’s also done several solo albums where he’s played all the instruments himself.The highlights of his multi-faceted career have been cobbled together in Selective Memories: An Anthology, just out from Hanky Panky Records.

AME Radio Show - Stephen Kogon & Luther Russell

Bill and Brian welcome legendary Big Star drummer Jody Stephens and acclaimed LA musician Luther Russell for a slightly different than usual episode. We had the pleasure to have the artists themselves provide a track by track commentary! Bill and Brian took the opportunity to head down to Memphis, spend time at Ardent Studios, and chat with Jody and Luther about the making of their album, the self titled debut from Those Pretty Wrongs (due out May 13th, 2016 from Ardent Music and Burger Records). Jody and Luther discuss the beginnings of the band, the cross continent writing process, recording at the historic Ardent using some of Chris Bell's guitars, their influences (such as Willis Alan Ramsey), and the positivity inherent throughout the album before we discuss the entire album, one song at a time. As we make our way through, we talk about how mean Eva Gardner could be (in film), Jody's dog's journey through some health issues, empty Chinese cities, arranging harmonies (that feature Danny De La Matyr!), a great story about a toy cube and sideshow freaks, the influence of Big Star's Alex Chilton and Chris Bell on the songwriting and their presence in the DNA of the music, remaining positive in the face of loss, and so so much more! Make sure to check out the album from Those Pretty Wrongs, due out May 13th from Ardent Music in partnership with Burger Records! www.thoseprettywrongs.com ardentmusic.11spot.com www.burgerrecords.org Many thanks to Addison Hare for making this happen!
