TMP 116 Jesse Dayton: Night of the Beaumonster

The Austin-based singer/guitar player has worked with artists including Glen Campbell, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, John Doe, and X, live and in the studio, written music for TV and film, and released over a dozen solo records. Film scores for Rob Zombie’s “The Devil’s Rejects” and “Halloween II” led to onscreen roles and writing/directing his own New Orleans-shot, post-Katrina feature, “Zombex,” starring Malcolm McDowell. Throw in his weekly Badass Country radio show on Gimmecountry.com, and you’re starting to get the full picture of this hard charger. Jesse’s new record, “Gulf Coast Sessions,” just came out, featuring “[Lo-Fi Lover](https://youtu.be/HKPl2bZMlg8)” as the first single and video. Tonight he joins the Troubled Men to find out just how Lo he can go. Topics include some killer take-out, a grocery switcheroo, a government contract, childhood trips, Huey P. Meaux, Rockin Dopsie, Johnny Adams, Flaco Jimenez, regionalism, drive-thru strip clubs, 70s country TV shows, Captain Clegg, Lew Temple, Tom Araya, Corey Feldman, touring with Rob Zombie, directing school, a fertile premise, Wynton online, the Jesse Dayton Station, an Iguanas story, Buffett in Galveston, Pal’s bar, and much more.

TMP150 Luther Dickinson: North Mississippi Allstars

By the time the North Mississippi Allstars guitarist and singer started playing with Hill Country masters R.L. Burnside and Othar Turner, he’d already received a firm grounding in roots music at the knee of his record producer and piano player father, Jim Dickinson (Big Star, Ry Cooder, Bob Dylan). Luther’s traveled the world spreading the blues rock gospel, but after growing up in the Memphis mayhem of the Mudboy & the Neutrons orbit, the Troubled Men Podcast should feel like a return to the briar patch. Topics include the 150th episode, a vaccine, Holy Week, a letter of reference, the Rolling Stones at Muscle Shoals, the Dixie Fliers, Bill Eggleston, Pat Rainer, “Big Star 3rd,” “Sugar Ditch Revisited,” open tuning, the Mingus bio, a father’s advice, first demos, Roland Janes, the Hodges brothers, ambition, the Black Crows, transcendence, conflict, the Allmans on acid, the Sons of Mudboy, a memorial recording session, and much more.
