Ep. 82: Leland Sklar (legendary bassist)

ABOUT LELAND SKLAR: As bassist in The Section, the L.A. session
collective that was to the '70s what The Wrecking Crew were to the
'60s, Leland Sklar helped define the '70s singer/songwriter sound.
With agile, elegant, unfailingly supportive basslines, the man with
the waist-length beard could pump fuel into Jackson Browne's engine
on the rocking "Running on Empty" and fall like a gentle summer
shower onto James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend" with equal
expertise. Leland has played on over 2,000 albums for Carole
King, Linda Ronstadt, Toto, Lyle Lovett, Phil Collins, Hall &
Oates, Warren Zevon, Rod Stewart, Jackson Browne, James Taylor and
so many more. Leland is also a part the band The Immediate Family
featuring A-list session players of which we had on in
season 2 and is featured in the new Magnolia Pictures
film IMMEDIATE FAMILY & the band's albums including their
latest Skin In The Game. ABOUT THE PODCAST:  Candid
