Stereo Embers The Podcast 00166: Dewey Bunnell (America)

“I’m Worried About America” I’m worried about America the country for obvious reasons. But I’m worried about America the band, too. With COVID-19 decimating the live music industry, the legendary band haven’t been able to tour and the future, for the time being, is uncertain. But with a new album on the way and a mammoth box set called Half Century out now, things have never been better for America. Except for the not being able to tour part. In this interview with Dewey Bunnell, the singer/songwriter talks to me about his level of anxiety in the Covid age, his lifelong friendship with Gerry Beckley and staying creative during lockdown. He also talks about working with legendary Beatles producer George Martin, growing up in an English/American household and his love of the blues.
