Summary

Join us for an unforgettable conversation with music legend Dann Huff, whose career is so extensive it takes "four finger scrolls" on Wikipedia. Discover his candid insights into his dual role as a prolific session guitarist and an award-winning producer Dann opens up about playing on colossal, core-memory songs for global icons like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Madonna, and producing for Lonestar, Taylor Swift, and Keith Urban. He shares his journey, including the controversial Solos album and his return to Nashville, acknowledging the nervousness he still feels when producing. Dann offers profound wisdom on the music industry, personal integrity, and balancing a demanding career with family life. Tune in to hear about his new instrumental album, "When Words Aren't Enough," and how it allowed him to reconnect with his artistic self.
