Mose Allison

Susan B. Jones

From ANDRAS JONES: It’s a Radio8Vault week. The time when we pillage our past for inspiration and connections with recent endeavors (and get to re-listen to some of the great R8B Theme Song versions we’ve collected over the years. Today’s is from Chris Price). We begin with the late great MOSE ALLISON who joined us […]

Mose Allison

Mose Allison is one of the most influential songwriters of the latter 20th century. His songs have been covered by Elvis Costello (“Everybody’s Cryin’ Mercy”), Van Morrison (“I Don’t Worry ‘Bout A Thing”), The Who (“Young Man Blues”) and many more. Having Mose on the show made me wish it was more of an interview […]

MOSE ALLISON
&
MORTY COYLE

From ANDRAS JONES: For this dip into the Radio8Vault let’s go back to February 5th, 2009 when our musical guest was the late great MOSE ALLISON and our question came from Radio8Ball regular, MORTY COYLE of All Day Sucker, who was considering a potential change of careers at the time. I’m sure I’ll have more […]

Amy Allison
&
Don Heffington

From ANDRAS JONES: AMY ALLISON joins us for a Pop Oracle session with DON HEFFINGTON about 9 years after her father Mose Allison was on the show. Don, Amy and Sheldon Gomberg are currently putting the finishing touches on a Mose Allison tribute record that features a duet between Amy and Elvis Costello on Mose’s […]

Don Heffington

From ANDRAS JONES: DON HEFFINGTON is a serious cat. Click the link for a list of his illustrious associations, or just hang with us for 8 musical divinations with his friends PAUL ZOLLO, AMY ALLISON, DAVE ALVIN, JILL MARKEY, PAUL BODY & CHUCK E. WEISS. I start things off with a question about the irrational […]

ALAN ABBADESSA
&
LITTLE GHOST

 You thought we were done didn’t you? I suspected something similar but it appears we still have some episodes left in our system. This one, recorded on 10/10/22 is with ALAN ABBADESSA talking about his latest project; a video game called LITTLE GHOST and the Kickstarter he’s running on its behalf in October of […]

Nilsson Tribute:
Curtis Armstrong
&
Marshall Thompson
w/ The Nilssons

From ANDRAS JONES: …and then the RELIGION kicked in. CURTIS ARMSTRONG is a serious Nilsson scholar. Yeah, he’s a big time, iconic character actor (as big as Van Dyke Parks!) but he only used that cred as a way to gain access to the Nilsson vaults at RCA Records. Think about that! While his peers […]

Raina Rose

From ANDRAS JONES: We bring this visit to the Radio8Vault to a close with the fabulous RAINA ROSE (and a gorgeous rendition of the R8B Theme Song from Feisty Heart). Raina was a regular visitor to our show on KAOS in Olympia when she was based out of Portland, Oregon. She now resides in Austin, Texas. […]

Chris “Sandman” Sand
& Jimmy Webb

Performance Date: February 2nd, 2014 One of the best things that ever happened to Radio8Ball was our inclusion on Jazz Alley’s media list. With this validation we were able to entice living legends like Mose Allison and Allen Toussaint to join us for Pop Oracle sessions on Alternative Talk 1150AM when they were coming through […]
