Calvin Cooke isn’t just a master of the sacred steel; he’s a living bridge to a rich cultural past. His musical journey is woven into the very fabric of the Jewel Dominion and Keith Dom churches, vibrant communities that trace back to the inspirational Mother Tate. Imagine this—serving with dedication through five distinct administrations within this spiritual haven, each chapter adding depth to his incredible legacy.

TRUE CRIME I MUSIKKEN: I fodsporet på en murder ballad... Der var musikalsk påvirkning både oppe og nedefra i Karen Cecilie Cæsars barndomshjem. Øverst i huset dyrkede storebrødrene grunge, og nede i stuen lyttede hendes far til country og 60'er-rock. To musikalske verdener, som Karen Cecilie opfattede som en slags modsætninger. Men kun indtil hun opdagede "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" eller "In the Pines", som den nogle steder bliver kaldt. En sang så gammel, at oprindelsen fortaber sig i historien, og som bl.a. Dolly Parton, Leadbelly og Nirvana har fortolket. Især sidstnævntes version fra Unplugged in New York-pladen (1994) gjorde indtryk på den unge Karen Cecilie. Grunge-ikonet Kurt Cobain synger med følelserne uden på tøjet, og hans død et halvt år efter indspilningen tilføjede yderligere mytestof til sangens i forvejen dystre fortælling. Karen Cecilie Cæsar er aktuel med det stemningsfulde album Low Season (https://open.spotify.com/album/4Eji5HmnAnOV0eaygGRmWg?si=m8Y1n48-SlCMRu-9M1atsA) - en mørktonet hyldest til de mentale lavsæsoner og deres magiske erkendelser. Læs mere på Karen Cecilies hjemmeside (https://www.karenceciliecaesar.com/?fbclid=IwAR2_bIMXo27xinECOvEQJDSM1rAq_f7MuclKuktCDLCcsR7WAvRWlDGdqWc) og følg hende på Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/karenceciliecaesar/). Varighed: 8:57

In this episode of Dante's Harmony Podcast, Danté is joined by Sacred Steel legends Chuck Campbell, and Phil Campbell of the Campbell Brothers. With over two decades of sacred steel music, and having traveled to over 25 countries, these masters bring the spirit, and churchy feel to their latest album, The Campbell Brothers Present, John Coltrane's, A Love Supreme. We talk about their new album, how the album came to be, the legacy of Darick Campbell, and so much more.

Few brands invoke immediate recognition, respect and fervor like TABASCO. Since 1868, the legendary hot sauce and its multiple condiment varieties have been produced exclusively by the family-owned McIlhenny Company of Avery Island, Louisiana. We catch up with John Simmons, Senior Manager of Agriculture for TABASCO, who also happens to be a member of the sixth generation of the McIlhenny family involved in the company. He grew up working the pepper fields, coopering barrels and learning all there is to conjuring TABASCO’s magic. John’s direct responsibilities are the agricultural operations--domestically and internationally--the making of TABASCO Sauce, new product development and the company’s sustainability efforts. We then travel all the way back to Snacky Tunes episode #198 and the summer of 2014 to re-visit pedal steel guitar virtuoso Jonny Lam and his band, Honeyfingers. Over the years, Jonny’s been an in-demand player working with the likes of David Byrne, Norah Jones, Billie Joe Armstrong, EmmyLou Harris, Busta Rhymes, Benny Blanco, Keb Mo, Sean Paul, Steve Earle, Pharaoh Sanders, The Blind Boys of Alabama and more. Honeyfingers gave us a live performance of their signature country jazz and western swing sound, and also did a cover of Ray Price’s No. 1 hit, “Crazy Arms.” It was the first time we’ve ever had a pedal steel guitarist on the show, and seeing the instrument up close was amazing.
