Hey, this goes Jake Brennan here. Listen to new episodes of Discrets Land from season

11 every Tuesday and catch the after party episodes every Thursday. This is where we

go deeper into the artist's stories. I'll share what I'm reading, listening to, and

what I'm watching, and I'll respond to your messages and questions, and of course,

I'll be reading the phone book. You've probably realized that we're releasing a lot of

previously exclusive episodes this month. We've got episodes on Studio 54, Prince, the

Missfits, Selena, way more than you've probably never heard before. You can listen to all

those episodes in a bunch more Discrets Land right now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Apple Podcast, I Heart Radio, Spotify Stitcher, Cast Box, Amazon Music, you get the picture

where everywhere thank you for listening. Let's get into it.

Discrets Land is a production of Double Elvis.

The stories about Otis Redding are insane. He was nearly shot by James Brown while performing

in an after hours club. He played sweet soul music in frat houses full of KKK sympathizers,

where one wrong move could have cost him his life. He took the stage in his hometown,

despite a threat to his life, scared to death that he would be murdered in front of thousands.

But Otis Redding was to quote the former vice president of his record label, an overcomer.

He overcame danger, violence, and fear in order to focus his sights on the top of the charts,

and not just the RMB charts, the pop charts. He did this at a time of great social upheaval

and change, and he did it with great music.

Some of the most definitive music of the 1960s, music that endures, satisfies, and still
