Mr Jeremy Dylan

For all my latest projects, and the new and old episodes of My Favorite Album, head to my new website here.

Year five of My Favorite Album kicks off with one of Nashville’s sharpest singer-songwriters, Tristen, talking Kate Bush’s seminal classic ‘Hounds of Love’.

It’s a cut and thrust, back and forth full opinions - opinions on Kate Bush, the importance (or lack thereof) of drummers, the dueling metaphors underlying the album, the vapidness of contemporary music culture, post-tour depression, why unsolicited advice is poison, how sexually magnetic is Ryan Gosling anyway, why she longs to be where Kate Bush was when she made this album and some opinions about opinions.

After spending my friendless teen years devouring paperback novels at a rate of six or seven a week, the encroachment of my social life (and the accompanying hangovers) and my self-inflicted relentless work schedule all but killed my book reading. Last year I maybe read three or four books in the entire year - another ingredient in the melange of bad life choices and mental health decline that made 2016 my low point.

One of the lies I told myself was that I didn’t have time to read books - once I awoke, checked my emails and dived into the day’s busy work, taking time out to read was not a practical idea. Part of my resolutions for this year was establishing a morning routine to give my life some stability, and to solve my reading problem. If I didn’t have time during the meat of my day, I would simply create more time. So now I wake up half an hour earlier, and before I do anything else - eat breakfast, brush my teeth, shower, check Instagram, etc - I read for thirty minutes.

These are the books I read this year, in chronological order. I’m averaging a bit under two books a month, which feels like a good pace to maintain. 

Note: I read the Franken and Halperin books in the first half of the year…

Currently reading - Morrissey’s Autobiography, which is gorgeously written but the prose is so rich it’s like eating an endless cheesecake.

Tweet me your book recommendations for the new year. I have a vast ‘to read’ list, but I’m always eager to add to it.

Old Crow Medicine Show frontman Ketch Secor joins me to relive his Bob Dylan awakening, as we delve into the underrated 1983 classic ‘Infidels’.

Ketch explains how his 12 year old brain was primed to fall for the record, how it awakened new emotions in him when he didn’t really understand the lyrics, why middle-aged Dylan was his epitome of cool, how 'Union Sundown’ fits amongst the union song tradition, what it’s like to co-write with Dylan twice in the same unconventional way and whether the next OCMS album will be their 'Infidels’.

Sharp of tongue and deep of soul, one of Nashville’s most compelling singer-songwriters joins me to talk about an underrated Neil Young and Crazy Horse classic, ‘Zuma’.

We talk about how Elizabeth discovered the album on a road trip, the elusive concision of Young’s lyrics, how this record defines a certain version of his sound, how the album documents the end of Neil Young’s creative grieving over guitarist Danny Whitten, how Elizabeth wants to steer her future recordings in a Neil-ward direction and what it was like to be a witness to the taping of the ‘Heart of Gold’ concert film.

Leopard print. Shania Twain. You already have an image in your mind’s eye. But it’s probably not the one I’m thinking of – the classy black and white cover to Shania’s new album ‘Now’, where the highest-selling female artist in country music history gazes towards the sky, hands clad in gloves that surely must be reference to that music video.

“Yes,” Shania chuckles, confirming the wink at her indelible ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ video. “You know it’s funny because the album is called ‘Now’, and there are just some things in my life that I just move on from. Time to let go of this. Then there are things that just stay with you forever.
I think that the leopard print will just always stay with me forever. It’s part of my career and my life and part of who Shania is visually and always will be. I’m happy to take with me into now and the future.”

The ‘Now’ album is recognizably the Shania we all remember, but it’s an album showcasing her growth and maturity in the fifteen years since her last album ‘Up!’. A bout with vocal chord dysphonia left her retraining her voice, which now has a more complex timbre.

Some will be tempted to scan the lyrics for references to Shania’s personal challenges, which have been well documented by the tabloids. But is this an album about the struggles of her last decade and a half or is this like any other album – a complete portrait of the Shania of today. As Shania explains, the title tells the story.

“It really is more about where I am now, and a reflection on my whole life and not just recent years. There’s been a lot of life lived to now and I would say that it’s a very it’s the most personal album that I’ve ever written.”

As one of the all-time great songwriters in pop or country music, and one of the most successful, Shania has always walked the line between drawing a portrait of her heart and world and finding language that all kinds of men and (especially) women around the world can relate to.

Lead single ‘Life’s About to Get Good’ is deeply personal, but I’d wager many listeners have no problem finding themselves in lines like ‘You no longer love me and I sang like a sad bird /
I couldn’t move on and I think you were flattered’.

A song like the volatile, emotionally stark ‘Poor Me’ is without parallel in Twain’s back catalogue. Part of the reason may be that this is her first album written totally solo, without a single co-writer.

“That just does naturally make it more personal. It’s coming from me directly, without any outside influence in the songwriting. I isolated myself to write most of the album, and it’s me in the purest sense, unique to anything else I’ve ever recorded.”

‘Now’ may be the first record with no credited writers other than ‘S. Twain’, but Shania has always defied Nashville conventions. Instead of cutting tunes from the Music Row songwriting elite, she’s had a hand in the penning of all but one song on all her records since 1995’s ‘The Woman In Me’, largely in collaboration with her then-husband and producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange.

“I was a writer from the age of ten, so I’ve been writing alone all of my life. I met Mutt and then he became my collaborator and co-writer for the next two decades. But there was one period, when I first got signed to my record label, that for the first time it wasn’t going to be doing my own music. There was pressure to only record outside songs and that’s what I did on my first album.”

The self-titled ‘Shania Twain’ album features only one song co-written by Twain, and perhaps no coincidentally, it failed to yield any significant hits. As soon as Shania took the creative reins, this trend was sharply reversed. ‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under’, ‘Any Many of Mine’, ‘The Woman in Me’, ‘You’re Still the One’, ‘From This Moment On’, ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’, ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman’ and on and on. This is Michael Jackson territory.

Countless column inches have been spent remarking on Shania’s pop crossover success and her high-octane stage shows. Her status as one of the most important and consistently successful songwriters of the last 25 years has been underappreciated.

Growing up poor in Ontario, Canada, Twain took to the greats of classic pop and country (“The Beatles were a huge influence, the Carpenters, Dolly Parton”), and the legendary Canadian singer-songwriters.

“There was a whole host of the storytelling singer-songwriters. There were many great Canadian songwriters that were always on our radio like Joni Mitchell of course and Gordon Lightfoot, who was a big influence on my writing.”

Shania’s love of folk singer-songwriters established a songwriting process that is still largely unchanged today.

“For me it’s still what it always was, it’s sitting with my guitar. I do work with my guitar in front of a computer now, but that’s the only part that’s changed. Sometimes it starts with a melody, sometimes with poems, sometimes with a title or just a concept. So there’s no real formula.

I’m always writing from a different element in music and there is no one way that I write to be honest.”

Songwriting is a constant in Shania’s life, whether the goal of a new album is in the front of her mind or not.

“I’m always an ongoing writer and I usually just collect ideas over time. When I decided to jump into the project and make an actual record, it was a good year of on collecting all of those ideas and putting them all together. A year of really concentrated writing and then I carried on writing during the recording process as well so. That was all about a two-year period.”

The deliberate, unhurried pace of Shania’s current artistic process is hard not to contrast to the relentlessness of twenty years ago, when she was riding the bazillion-selling ‘Come on Over’ album to world domination. I asked if her if she was able to enjoy all her success in that period, or if she got too caught up in the crazy pace of it all, like so many superstars.

“It’s true and that is what happened to me. I didn’t really realize how wonderful it all was at the time. That’s partly why symbolically I used the leopard print glove [on the new record cover]. I look back on that period of my life very fondly, especially creatively. So it’s a throwback of a moment that I now am enjoying really for the first time.”

It’s hard not to remark on a coincidence of timing that Shania is returning with new music, less than a month after another pop culture icon of assertive brunette womanhood has been relaunched into the forefront of our consciousness. Wonder Woman may be fictional, but the awe and inspiration she’s generating in young girls who see that movie has a lot in common with how girls look at Shania.

With her recent return to touring, I wondered what it was like for Twain to play to 20-something girls who grew up worshipping her music.

“Well it’s very special to see the audience today compared to the audience 20 years ago.

You know 20 years ago the audience was so full of parents with their small children who were three, four, five, six. Now those kids are in their late teens or early 20s, college age. It’s amazing to see the transition.

They all have a very similar story and it is touching. To hear them say repeatedly ‘You were my first concert, I came with my mom’ and now they’re college kids coming with friends.

It’s still in the joy of a child almost, that’s what music does to us. It brings us back to such an excitable euphoric place. A song takes you back to a time and it’s just so refreshing and wonderful and energizing for me.

It’s unexpected as well because… I don’t know what I was expecting, but I just forgot that all these little kids grew up. You come back fifteen years later and all of a sudden, they’re adults and that really did blow my mind.

So it was wonderful to watch that evolution. And there’s always a heartwarming story as well that people have to share and I love to hear their stories.”

In a couple of short months, these young women will be waiting with bated breath to pick up their first ‘new’ Shania record. Their real-life superhero has returned, armed with a new collection of lyrics and melodies to touch their hearts.

Shania thinks on this for a moment.

“Well,” she says. “I hope they like it.”

Uproxx rock critic, Celebration Rock podcast host and author of ‘You’re Favorite Band is Killing Me’, Steven Hyden is one of most erudite and compelling analysts of classic rock mythology. He joins me to talk about one of the elephant albums in the room, 'Led Zeppelin IV’.

We talk about why it’s easily the best Zeppelin album but rarely chosen as a fan favorite, argue about Zeppelin’s influence on subsequent generations of rock bands, lament and analyze the passing of our rock heroes and why Tom Petty’s passing was such a shock, are bemused at Stairway to Heaven’s prom anthem status and get it why Zeppelin pulled off a style that borders on self-parody and made it magic. Plus, a preview of Steven’s upcoming book ‘Twilight of the Gods’.

To celebrate St Lennon’s Day, I’m revisiting my conversation with British polka-dot enthusiast and iconoclast Robyn Hitchcock on ‘Plastic Ono Band’ - Enjoy!

—

Traveler through space and time, British cult icon and legendary singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock steers his ship into the podbooth this week, for a chat with host Jeremy Dylan about John Lennon’s emotionally confronting classic 1970 album “Plastic Ono Band”.

Along the way, they talk about why Robyn identified with Lennon as a kid, Lennon’s antipathy toward his Beatles music, the possible influence of Bob Dylan’s “John Wesley Harding” album, John and Yoko’s primal scream therapy and which Robyn Hitchcock song borrows its arrangement from a Plastic Ono Band tune.

David Ryan Harris hasn’t had time to sleep for decades, between his constant touring, eclectic and highly melodic albums, guitar duels with John Mayer, producing artists like Guy Sebastian and more. His latest album is ‘Songs for Other People’.

DRH joins me to discuss the classic watershed album ‘There’s A Riot Goin’ On’, the album recorded by Sly & the Family Stone in the coked-out hangover after the Summer of Love fell.

Sarah Lewitinn’s career has taken from writer to manager to DJ, self-described ‘queen of beneficient debauchery’ and the once and future ’Ultragrrl’.

In a personal and emotionally honest conversation, Sarah makes the case for Interpol’s 'Our Love to Admire’ as the band’s best album and the deep, slow-burning relationship she has had with it. We talk about the efforts she’s made to keep her personal distance from the members of Interpol, the legend and reality of Carlos D, and how the album feels like the closing chapter on an era of her New York life.

If you haven’t yet, I recommend reading Lizzy Goodman’s amazing oral history of the 2000s NYC rock scene 'Meet Me in the Bathroom’, in which Sarah features, and listening to my recent podcast with Lizzy.

Aaron Lee Tasjan followed the classic well worn path to Americana stardom - starting 150 bands, playing guitar with the New York Dolls, sticking sequins onto his own suits and micro dosing for songwriting inspiration.

He joins me to talk about the album that taught him to play guitar - The Beatles uber-classic ‘Revolver’. We talk about the Beatles eternal mission to top their latest groundbreaking recordings, what it would’ve been like to hear these songs new when they first were released, the diversity of influences on both Aaron and the Beatles (and the impact that has on their music) and more.

Jon Cryer is one of the most beloved figures in the last three decades of American comedy, from his breakout role in ‘Pretty in Pink’ to starring in one of the most successful sitcoms in history in ‘Two and a Half Men’. In addition, he’s also an author, screenwriter, director and lately a podcaster. But today he joins me in his capacity as a music fan with a deep love for Radiohead’s era-defining classic ‘OK Computer’.

From battling the network to get Radiohead posters included in one of his early sitcoms, why the track ‘Fitter Happier’ made him burst into tears on first listen, why he listens to the album in his car, his experiences bringing Radiohead virgins to to see the band live and more. Jon discovers live on air what the lyrics to two of the album’s songs are for the first time, and compares the precision in Radiohead’s music to the precision that can make or break a gag in a comedy film. Plus, we talk about what it’s like to act opposite Elvis Costello.

A legend of both music and comedy, Neil Innes has weaved dry wit around sweet soulful melody for decades, from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band to the Rutles, his work with Monty Python and on television with Rutland Weekend Television and The Innes Book of Records.

Neil joins me to talk about Frank Zappa’s classic commentary on the Summer of Love and response to Sgt Pepper, ‘We’re Only In It For the Money’. We talk about how the album balances satire and music inventiveness, how Zappa misunderstood one of Neil’s songs while reviewing it, when the Bonzo’s hung out with the Mothers of Invention in the US and the kinship they felt, plus how so much of the turmoil Zappa was writing about in 1968 has become eerily relevant again almost 50 years on.
