On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s James Toth! I’ve known James for almost 20 years now (which is hard to get my head around), and in that time he’s made a ton of music that’s near and dear to me, written a lot of things that have inspired, and generally been a fellow lifer that does work that resonates with me. So, getting him on the show was a no brainer! We talk about his excellent Dunza project before bonding over Crystal Gale and Madonna, Bobby Charles’s incredible voice, Pat Methany, Black Flag, The Roches, Randy Newman, Celtic Frost, Rainy Day, and more!
