Twang and soul: fusing old country with soul music
The guests explain their 'twang and soul' sound: old country instrumentation over 1960s-70s soul-style lyric themes, inspired by 1920s jazz photos, Wilson Pickett, Al Green, and old country. They describe the comic bit of playing Lionel Richie songs with a banjo and getting strange looks that turn into sing-alongs.
