I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But now and then I present features on the show too.
Last year I had nearly an hour to explore the music of George Harrison.
I followed that up with a chat about Ringo Starr and played some of his best Beatles drum bits and a few of his solo singing hits. That was fun too.
But then, I had the chance to talk about Prince. What to say about one of my favourite artists of all time? In just 40 minutes. I could talk for, erm, 17 Days about Prince. So I decided to look at some of the side-projects, collaborations and songs he’s written for other people.
And then it was to covers you didn’t know were covers.
I was even on Lately with Karyn Hay. Talkin’ Bob Dylan (Blues). Talkin’ Rolling Thunder Re-Viewed!
Most recently it was time to talk Dolly. A full segment playing some of Dolly Parton’s music and talking about her genius. It was a great pleasure to do this. I hope you enjoy it if you missed it – my chat with Jesse Mulligan about Dolly Parton’s music and genius.
