It’s called The Solution is Restless, which is a pretty perfect title, and it’ll be out in November. Wasser is just about to release an incredible collaborative album that she made with Dave Okumu and Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen, not long before Allen’s death last year. The first of those, 2006’s Real Life, knocked Tim Burgess over when he first heard it-as you’ll hear in this conversation. She was in Antony and the Johnsons for a bit, and she’s recorded a bunch of great records under the name Joan As Police Woman. One of those hundred is Joan Wasser, who also got her start in a ‘90s band-the Dambuilders-and subsequently launched an incredibly varied career. A hundred of those parties have now been gathered into a hardcover book, which also includes rare photos from the participants and lots more. It’s simple enough: He coaxes other musicians to essentially live-tweet their own albums, and it’s resulted in literally hundreds of sessions with everyone from his UK contemporaries like Oasis and Blur to a session with Sir Paul McCartney himself. In addition to the box set, a Charlatans tour that’s just about to start, and a solo album slated for next year, Burgess has kept himself busy through the pandemic with a fun concept he named Tim’s Twitter Listening Party.

This week sees the release of a massive Charlatans box set called A Head Full Of Ideas that spans their career and includes hits and rare tracks. But unlike many of their contemporaries, the Charlatans have had a long and prosperous career, releasing more than a dozen albums in addition to Burgess’ solo output. Tim Burgess has had a fascinatingly diverse career: He first came to prominence as singer of the Charlatans, who were part of the early '90s Madchester scene along with the likes of The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. This week’s Talkhouse conversation features a pair of performers who came up in the ‘90s, and who have followed each other’s careers since: Tim Burgess of the Charlatans, and Joan Wasser, aka. This episode was produced by Melissa Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range.
Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Patterson Hood and Carl Nichols for chatting. Nichols and Hood-that sounds like a great name for a duo, come to think of it-talk here about the protests in Portland, where Hood now lives how Hood’s politics drove off a certain percentage of his audience and a mutual love of Outkast. He just released his debut as Buffalo Nichols, and it takes a turn toward what Rolling Stone called “existential blues.” It’s just out on the venerated Fat Possum label. Nichols, as you’ll hear, has an interesting musical history of his own-he’s been more of a genre jumper than his friend Patterson, playing in punk bands early on and then in the Milwaukee folk-ish duo Nickel and Rose. Carl Nichols, aka Buffalo Nichols, toured with Drive-By Truckers in the past, and he’s in the midst of another touring opening for them now. The band actually released two albums last year, The Unraveling back in January, and then its companion, The New OK, in October. You’ll also hear that, of course, on his records, both as a solo artist and a Drive-By Trucker. As you’ll hear in this conversation, Hood is a nuanced thinker and writer. The band has explored the sounds and ideas of Southern rock-Hood is from Alabama-over the years, with sounds and lyrics that stretch the boundaries well beyond the world of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Patterson Hood has been in rock bands since he was a pre-teen, and he’s been the co-leader of Drive-By Truckers since 1996. On this week’s Talkhouse Podcast, we’ve put together a pair of tourmates-past and present-who are separated by decades but united by a deep respect of American music: Patterson Hood and Carl Nichols.
