Leon Russell, Beatles Sessions & The Church Studio | Bill Janovitz on Abbey Road to Tulsa Time

Author and Buffalo Tom frontman Bill Janovitz joins Chris O'Dell to talk about his New York Times bestselling biography of Leon Russell: the master of space and time, and one of the most influential yet underappreciated figures in rock history. Chris knew Leon in his early-'70s prime; Bill spent years researching the full story. Together they get into the rock star Leon willed himself to become, his obsession with technology decades ahead of his time, the records he secretly shaped, the goodbye he wrote in song, and the wild tale of three Beatles nearly playing on his debut album, plus how The Church Studio is restoring his legacy in Tulsa. Bill Janovitz is the founding member of Buffalo Tom and the author of "Rocks Off: 50 Tracks That Tell the Story of the Rolling Stones" and books on Exile on Main St. and The Cars. This episode is supported by The Church Studio (thechurchstudio.com [http://thechurchstudio.com]), founded by Leon Russell in 1972, and Blue Couch Studio, Tulsa's full-production podcast studio.

Chris O’Dell sits down with Pattie Boyd and discusses Friar Park, George Harrison, and more

Chris O'Dell's first guest is her longtime friend Pattie Boyd: muse, model, and one of the few people who was truly inside the world of The Beatles and beyond. Over the course of this conversation, the two friends move through decades of shared memory: meeting at an Apple boutique fashion show while Yoko sat in silence, discovering Friar Park and bringing it to life room by room, three Krishna families moving in and turning the dining room into a temple, and showing up at Madison Square Garden the night of the Concert for Bangladesh not quite sure if Bob Dylan would appear.They also get into the new Beatles films (neither has been contacted), what the Krishna movement is quietly doing around the world, and Pattie's reaction to seeing Eric Clapton perform last night in Guildford: this is what it sounds like when two women who lived through music history just... talk. Miss O'Dell is recorded at The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Learn more at missodell.com [http://missodell.com].
