Saltamontes - Lucinda Williams con Greg Leisz y Bill Frisell - 28/09/21

On this Greg Leisz interview, how playing with artists like Dave Alvin, k.d. Lang, Matthew Sweet, Bill Frisell, Charles Lloyd &amp; others, helped shape his career… Greg didn’t get into playing as a session player till he was nearly in his 40’s and he shares why he “stuck it out”... Playing with Jackson Browne, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant &amp; Allison Krauss, Ted Hawkins, Joe Walsh, Keith Richards, Emmylou Harris, Linda Rondstadt, Joni Mitchell, Brian Blade, his weirdest gig ever (for a nudist colony!)... Understanding his own abilities, getting out of his comfort zone, Peru, maintaining your sense of wonder, and loads more. Lovely conversation with this music legend If you’d like to support this show: http://www.everyonelovesguitar.com/support Greg Leisz is a songwriter, sideman, and producer who pays guitar, dobro, mandolin, lap steel and pedal steel guitar.

Greg Leisz: “I’m more grateful for what I have...”

My guest this week is the incredible pedal steel, guitar, mandolin, dobro player Greg Leisz. The word "ubiquitous" is usually placed in front of Leisz's name. With good reason -- the man's resumé is daunting, boasting spots with Joni Mitchell, Sheryl Crow, Peter Case, Paul Westerberg, Me'Shell NdegeOcello, Victoria Williams, Joe Cocker, Dave Alvin, k.d. lang, Wilco, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Cockburn, Shawn Colvin, Paula Cole, and the Ventures...to name a few. Not to be pigeonholed in just roots music, Leisz has also played with the likes of Beck, Matthew Sweet, Bad Religion, the Smashing Pumpkins, St. Vincent and Brian Wilson. Greg's inspired playing on many of Bill Frisell's projects form the last 15 years is what made me want to play the steel. Leisz spent his younger years catching acts like the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers in Southern California clubs. Part of his universal appeal -- which certainly draws on the experimental nature of those influences -- comes from an open-minded approach to lap and pedal steel, an approach that casts aside Nashville references. Leisz is also somewhat of a stylistic chameleon: You can't pin down a distinctive style for him because he chooses to serve and accompany a song rather than place his mark on it. His creativity and open-mindedness as a musician have allowed him a genre roving usually not accorded renowned steel players.
