Sit Down with Sean Kelly

Compassionate Measures Podcast

Pull up a chair for a lively conversation with Sean Kelly! Sean is the author of White Noise & Lightning: The Continental Drifters Story which will be published THIS week by Cool Dog Sound. Sean speaks about his days as a young member of A Fragile Tomorrow and shares what he learned about activism while touring with Indigo Girls.

Sean describes the process of writing his authorized biography of the Continental Drifters beginning from Day One – garnering approval, the hours spent interviewing, the book's cover art by yet another acclaimed musician and several highlights from his work. He details similar thoughts about We Are All Drifters, the Continental Drifters tribute album he produced with David Jenkins for Cool Dog Sound (also releasing on September 27th). Sean recounts key memories about how artists selected their songs and assembled their submissions. He played on one track and we learn about that special time in the studio. Want to know the first musician who “called dibs” on their track for the tribute album? And the highly- respected recording artist / producer who suggested that Sean do what HE thought was best in the studio? It’s all here! Sean also talks about the new White Noise & Lightning: Best of the Continental Drifters album.

Finally, Sean perfectly summarizes the loving, respectful and in-awe way that many artists feel about the Wild Honey Foundation. Wild Honey will receive proceeds from the tribute album.
