E63 Shangri-LA Over Troubled Water

About this episode

Join me on an exploration of Shangri-La studio's rich musical history. A legendary music studio that was spared from the flames of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. With intriguing stories of The Band and Bob Dylan and Dylan's iconic tour bus-turned-recording space, you'll gain a fresh appreciation for this studio that’s been a haven for music legends like Eric Clapton and Richard Manuel. Together, we reflect on the studio’s significant contributions to music, from the albums of Adele, Kings of Leon and Mark Knopfler, and consider the critical importance of preserving our musical landmarks.

Shangri-La's walls have borne witness to a kaleidoscope of musical genius, and this episode is a walk through those hallowed halls. Listen as I unravel the story behind a song inspired by Ray Kroc's life. Discover how Mr. Ed, the talking horse, plays into this tapestry of anecdotes, mixing music history with pop culture and a dash of lighthearted trivia. You'll also hear about the studio's eclectic legacy, featuring sessions with Metallica, U2, and Depeche Mode, that continue to captivate artists and audiences alike.

From 'Love Stinks' from the J. Geils Band to the iconic song "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds, we journey through transformative songs and bands that have shaped the musical landscape. As we reflect on paths that lead to varying levels of success, there's a heartfelt call to embrace every musical story, big or small. “Music In My Shoes,” where we blend stories of music history with personal reflections and keep the melody playing.

"Music in My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.
