Great music. Great food. Austin has a lively music scene and finger-licking BBQ. We take a trip to the Texas town to take it in, first-hand.
Hellos friends! “Guitar playing monster”, Casper Rawls is my guest for episode 746! His latest album, the brilliant, Brave World is available now and if you live in Austin you can see him every Thursday from 6:30-9 at The Continental Club. Go to casperrawls.com for music, show dates and more. We have a great conversation about his journey from Helotes, TX to all over the world and back, working with Buck Owens, touring the world as a sound system guy with Styx, Supertramp and more, being a “B-Bender” guy, 25 years with The LeRoi Brothers, making Brave World and much more! I had a great time getting to know Casper. I’m sure you will too. Let’s get down!

For many years Casper Rawls has been one of my favorite guitarists and people. Picking up where country/rock visionaries like James Burton and Clarence White left off, Casper can bend, twist and coax some powerful, abstract soulful beauty out of a six-string guitar. Hell, he could probably do the same thing with a one-string guitar. If I practiced 12 hours a day for the rest of my life I’d still not be in his league. He’s a true guitar hero who plays with intelligence as well as passion. And also a really, really good guy. --Dave Alvin
