About this episode
As Part 2 of this Caropop conversation with this astute producer/label owner begins, Fairport Convention has reached its peak, but lead singer Sandy Denny is suddenly out. Did she jump or was she pushed? We also hear about Boyd’s Hollywood stint, the story of how "Dueling Banjos" became a fluke hit and his role in Aretha Franklin’s Amazing Grace film and why it sat on the shelf for decades. Then there’s how he rescued Richard and Linda Thompson’s Shoot Out the Lights, why he stopped producing solo Richard Thompson, and how he dealt with the non-egos of R.E.M. to move the band forward with Fables of the Reconstruction. There's also a song about a sending a camel to bed.
