Even if you’re not familiar with Jonathan Wilson’s music, you've probably heard his work before. As an established producer, he’s helped to revitalize the Laurel Canyon music scene through his work with artists like Dawes and Father John Misty in his California studio. But Jonathan left L.A. and went back to his Southern roots to record his new album, Dixie Blur, in Nashville. Today, he explains why he made that decision, thanks in part to Steve Earle. And Jonathan performs some of the new music, live. Coming up, on the next World Cafe with host Raina Douris.

We have all probably seen or heard something in the news that made us say, “Someone should do something about it.” The difference with today’s Word By Word: Conversations With Writers guest, David Hightower, is that he did do something. He wrote a book.

Hightower explains,” I’m not a writer. I was a day trader in the East Bay before my wife and I came to Petaluma. My wife was pregnant when we moved, and I’ve spent a great deal of my time since then being the Dad to my four-year-old and 2-year-old boys.”

“Part of that job,” Hightower continues, “is reading more than my fair share of Dr. Seuss books, so, when I read a tweet the President had done in rhyme, I responded by jotting down my response in Seussian-style poetry. I guess I was frustrated—very, very, upset with no outlet. So I wrote my book entitled The Sun Also Sets: A Seussical Indictment of Trump.

Host Gil Mansergh chats with David about the steep learning curve transitioning from a stay-at-home-Dad, to becoming a book author, publisher, distributor and marketer.

Word by Word Conversations with Writers is hosted by Gil Mansergh and can be heard on the second Sunday of the month at 10:00 am on KRCB-FM Radio 91 / streaming @ norcalpublicmedia.org / Listen on the go - download the FREE KRCB App for your favorite mobile device.

At the release of Great Grandpa's first album, they all lived in the same Seattle apartment, and owed their sound in part to that city's roots in the Grunge movement of the 90's. Since then, two of the members of the band Carrie and Pat Goodwin had moved to Milwaukee, while the rest stayed in Seattle. That distance forced the band to stretch their sound, and that shows on their latest album Four of Arrows, which they lovingly describe as "snack rock." The band perform songs off that album live in studio, on the next World Cafe.

Somewhere on our journey over the past two decades at American Routes, we started talking about “guilty pleasures” shows, where old free form radio roots called for the pleasure of old favorites and new discoveries. But since we broadcast from New Orleans, we’ll drop the word guilty and roll on with the Stones and Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys, Our Native Daughters and Tina Turner, a bootleg tape of Doug Sahm from 70s underground days, and the Mexican American accordion squeeze of Los Texmaniacs.

The inspiration for an album can come from anywhere. For Hamilton Leithauser, it was a nice man riding a ferry, telling stories. Each song on his new record, The Loves of Your Life, is about a real person – some strangers, some friends – and he didn’t tell any of them. The former singer of The Walkmen talks with host Stephen Kallao from a feed shed at Hamilton’s family’s house in Virginia. And we’ll hear a live performance recorded from that shed, on the next World Cafe.

After hearing the debut album from Hazel English, you might be surprised to learn what inspired it.  At one point, she was studying to be a sci-fi writer, and that has worked its way into her first album.
