Show Notes

The keyboard and guitar player with Southern rock powerhouse band Drive-By Truckers is also a pop music fanatic, having released a string of candy-coated solo records over his career. His latest collaboration, “Roll Up A Song” with “Space Ghost” writer Pete Smith, is a power pop gem garnering a 4-star review from Mojo magazine. Developing an affinity for the Troubled Men while playing on the latest Loose Cattle project, Jay uses a rare night off after a recent Truckers show to tip into Snake & Jake’s for some fellowship, frivolity, and hot pozole talk.

Topics include Father’s Day, Jerry Lewis, Malevitus, Tiana Hux, Chris Champagne, Siberia Bar, Joey Chestnut, Kobayashi, a giant cupcake, the Civic, the Breeders, a U.S. tour, “Southern Rock Opera,” the Betamax, NY suburbs, Yankee seats, Joe Jackson, “Steppin’ Out,” Moving to Athens, the Datsun 510, country club gigs, Spooner Oldham, a Halloween gig, a job offer, Model Citizen, Dial Back Sound studio, Reed Watson, Jimbo Mathus, the Bay City Rollers, Badfinger, the Jamm, the Knack, the Possibilities, Tang, Bosco, Chiclets, “Adult Swim,” and much more.
