Joe Boyd - Little Richard, Nick Drake, Tight Fit and why everything sounds the way it does

[@LionelNation]

Excellent.

[@RicHollandUK]

Joe Boyd, 82 years old, articulate and cohesive when so many people involved in music in the 1960s are not. Tremendous interview.

[@thepartimemusician65]

Incredible interview, 3 true professors of music, loved it!

[@sodiumlights]

Such a cool and kind guy, always a pleasure hearing his tales.

[@MrDirtybear]

Thank you so much for this interview with Joe Boyd, which explains why and how music can appeal to people, and why keeping music simple and basic matters.

[@michaelb.9548]

A great episode! Very interesting.

[@tomr4035]

Great upload fellas, looking forward to this one! EDIT - Fantastic chat - and to think this covers a mere slither of the book!! Can't wait to get my teeth into it.

Joe Boyd is spot on, he has turned the world onto so much great music, and i agree what he said about certain people wanting more organic authentic sounds, back in the early 90s i went to Turkey and was looking for the traditional arabesque music, but the locals were saying you dont want to listen to that old music, listen to our shinny modern pop, but i was no i do ... love you Joe

I really like the various Joe Boyd interviews on KZbin. This one is one of the best.

[@cosmicdrifter287]

Very interesting interview with one of the key and very well spoken figures in music.I Befriended Joe on Facebook,red White Bicycles and watched almost every interview YT video's i could track down.This conversation is a very welcome addition.

[@mrduckspeak]

One of the key people to listen to in how music evolved and developed over time - and that's besides all the great artists he helped get exposure. He makes it so accessible too. Thanks for everything, Joe!

[@a34rwl]

Great stories and ideas.

[@martinscase3904]

Wow. A totally absorbing listen.

[@StonefieldJim4]

The story of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' is told in the Netflix documentary, 'ReMastered: The Lion's Share'.

[@Bambloozled]

Enjoyed this a bunch - good stories.

[@macskaerdely8322]

Thank you for such an interesting video😆I am a Japanese who loves rock and world music. Now I read Boyd 's White Bicycles with Google translation😅 I am very angry this book translated in Japanese is not yet published😠

[@drychaf]

Oh jeeps. Now I'm going to have to buy the 900+ page book : )

[@KETEBOWERS]

Enjoyed listening 😎🎶

[@Amphy002]

Good to see pop combo Tight Fit finally getting due recognition on this site. I yield to no-one in my appreciation for the delightful Denise Gyngell, who brightened up my adolescence in the 1980s and beyond. Even today, Denise can be seen selling life insurance during the "Let's wring a few more quid out of the seniors" breaks in Tipping Point - although Ms Gyngell is far too sparkly and youthful to be wasted there. NB: I may have completely missed the point of your broadcast.

[@SharonTateFan67]

Can so relate to the first part though for me it was Prima Donna/ Bardon babe Sally Ann Triplett ❤

[@ByronWerner-qw5sh]

Eno recorded a rare 45 cover version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight, back in the day

[@drssexy2142]

prove it

[@apolloc.vermouth5672]

I agree with Joe that there's no substitute for recording good musicians in a great-sounding room. Problem is, talented musicians mostly can't afford such spaces these days.

[@Anybloke]

Boyd for president.

[@brianharris7243]

I've always worried that 'World Music"(it's just music when at home!) and the snobbery that goes with the quest for authenticity has overtones of the 'noble savage' mindset.

[@myradioon]

I agree. There's plenty of influence from Europe in melody for one. Swiss Polka, Scottish/Irish music is very melodic. Country music took from the blues but is solidly based on Scots-Irish fiddle tunes and Polkas. European music certainly filtered into Pop Music in the 1800's and beyond. Every major Reggae artist LOVED American Country music. The Wailers first release was a cover of an American (White) Country song. He doesn't mention that.

[@jamesfitzgerald6636]

@@myradioon,,, classical music, opera, etc

[@iannicholls7476]

He knows all this stuff. He’s 82. And he’s still got all his own hair! It makes me sick.
