Hey ho, boys and girls! It's time for another episode of the little podcast that could. This go-round, I'm sitting down with Jonathan Warren and Dave Sather-Smith from Jonathan Warren and The Billy Goats.
Of course, we'll talk about how the band decided on The Billy Goats. We'll also talk about what makes their sound "progressive psychobilly folkgrass.From there, I'll talk with Jonathan about the band's musical background and sound, and I'll talk with Dave about incorporating cello into the band. Dave and Jonathan both talk about blending the classical training of Dave's voice and his cello with Jonathan's voice and his self-taught guitar.
Jonathan talks about songwriting as an organic experience. Then, Dave talk about his part in the songwriting process.
I'll talk with Jonathan about his approach to songwriting, how the latest album "Cletus" differs from past efforts (It's a great album, by the way. You should definitely check it out.), and about the influences of where they grew up on their music. Jonathan also talks about trying to write more happy songs.
We talk a bit about the benefits and challenges of not fitting into a specific music genre and the challenge of handling both the music side and the business side. Jonathan talks about his writing routine (yes, he has one), and both Jonathan and Dave talk about balancing music with the rest of life.
In addition to our conversation, Jonathan and Dave share three songs from the band's latest album: "Not The Only," "Decision," and "Stayed Too Long."
