Summary

O Brother, Phil and David had an absolutely fantastic, fascinating and far-ranging "Lunch" with the great T Bone Burnett while in Nashville recently -- so much so that none of them actually ate their delicious breakfast sandwiches from @hseanbrock's Joyland until after this conversation stopped. So you will hear no chewing here, yet there is a lot to chew on. The Oscar and Grammy winning Burnett goes deep about not just his own remarkable career  -- from early life-changing experiences on Bob Dylan's legendary Rolling Thunder Revue and being a musician in the infamous yet artful big screen "fiasco" known as "Heaven's Gate" to his extraordinary work on soundtracks like "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and "Crazy Heart" right until today, including some notable recent recording with Dylan that reflects Burnett's deep thinking about the value of music, and the place in our world today. Phil and David want to thank T Bone -- who's produced everyone from Roy Orbison to Los Lobos to Elton John to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss to Counting Crows and The Wallflowers -- and Michelle Freetly for setting up their mics at East Iris Studios and making this "Lunch" far and away our coolest and most atmospheric recording yet. To learn more about building community through food and "Somebody Feed the People," visit the Philanthropy page at philrosenthalworld.com.
