For the past several decades, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams -- both together and separately -- have lived a life on the road performing music across the country and around the world.  Now over the past several years, this lovely couple has been playing music and traveling together, touring behind their new album, Live at Levon's!, representing the special time they have spent over the years at the iconic Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY.  Larry is a gifted in-demand sideman originally from New York City, while Teresa is an extraordinary vocalist who came to NYC as an actor and singer, and eventually toured as a backing vocalist with legendary acts such as Mavis Staples, Emilou Harris, Jackson Browne and Bob Weir.  Larry is a noted record producer, toured as a guitarist in Bob Dylan's band for many years and was the Musical Director of Levon's Midnight Ramble Band for over a decade. Their musical lives are a tale of time spent on the road -- and now their paths have converged allowing them to create music and tour together. Their combined knowledge of road life and shared love of live performing serves as the constant impetus in their lives and they are here to share their wisdom about life, love and what is all means to them both individually and as a couple.  Come share Larry's and Teresa's love of music and road life on  this week's episode of Roadcase!

In this, the Season 5 finale, we rank all 86 of the Grateful Dead's 1972 concerts, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of that venerable year in Dead history. In a sense, I've been working on this episode for two years now, as I listened to all 86 shows last year in preparation for this year! 

This year alone, I spent somewhere in the neighbourhood of 375 hours on this exercise, and created over 40,000 words of content between notes, spreadsheets, etc. A list like this can never be entirely objective, but I did try to make the process as refined as possible. It was a labour of love all the way, and I hope you enjoy it!

I also appeared on Workingman's Pod again recently to talk '72 Dead: https://rss.com/podcasts/workingmans-pod/749443/

Thank you all for a great year, and I'll see you sometime next month for Season 6!

In this episode, joined by my friend, Alex Mihalopoulos, we discuss the Grateful Dead's legendary Europe '72 tour in celebration of its 50th anniversary. This tour is one of my favourite topics, and as it was the first topic covered on this show way back in Episode 2, it only made sense for its 50th anniversary episode to receive the honour of being Episode 100.

Welcome to Roadcase -- we're so stoked to have JD Simo on the show!! JD is a stellar musician with deep roots in blues and psychedelic rock -- combining genres and styles to create a unique mixture which has been lauded by Rolling Stone and Guitar Player magazine, among others. He is a true road dog, playing 100s of gigs annually and has collaborated with the likes of Jack White, Luther Dickenson, Blackberry Smoke, and Phil Lesh and Friends. JD's latest album, Mind Control, is his Covid-era album and a striking one at that; a forced hiatus from road life enabled him to dig into his deep musical reserves to create a gorgeous album revealing for JD the healing powers of musical creation. A highly in-demand session player, JD has added his masterful playing on tons of albums, and even recently contributed to the movie soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann's upcoming Elvis biopic. So hop on the Roadcase bus for this conversation with JD Simo. It's gonna be a great ride!
