Podcast 356: Steve Poltz

You're going to love this hilarious and insightful chat with a
true zen master of the music business, singer-songwriter Steve
Poltz.


This is one of the wildest Fretboard Journal conversations we've
ever had. Sit back and hear about Steve's excellent new album,
'Stardust & Satellites,' produced by Oliver Wood and Jano Rix
of the Wood Brothers.


We also hear about Steve's childhood encounter with Elvis, some
truly wild gigs with the Rugburns, why you should never take that
gig opening for Styx, why record sales don't matter, the perils
of cocaine (and elephants), and why Bob Taylor didn't want Steve
to take "Smokey Joe" (his now-cherished Taylor guitar). Poltz
famously co-wrote "You Were Meant for Me" with Jewel, but he
continues to co-write with some of our favorite artists,
including Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Anthony da Costa, and
Sierra Hull. We hear about all that... and more.


"I've never quit. It gets better every year. I'm the most unjaded
musician you'll ever meet..." -Steve Poltz
