About this episode
Bust out your sh*ttiest guitars– wait, I mean your sh*tar! Our guest on Season 3, Episode 19 of “ Load-In Through the Back ” is the esteemed percussionist of the Wood Brothers : Jano Rix ! Beyond traveling and recording in one of the biggest Americana outfits of the modern era, Jano is also a celebrated producer and songwriter. He recently teamed up with his father Luther ( Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue , Leonard Cohen ) to write, record, and release an album of New Orleans-inspired tunes entitled “ Legacy , Volume 1 .” As if that didn’t keep him busy enough, the Wood Brothers dropped their latest LP “ Puff of Smoke ” this fall and are currently supporting that effort on the road. Jano joins us to discuss carving your own path, the implied importance of timeliness, Steve Poltz , the New Orleans sound, his time in the Gabe Dixon Band , and joining his favorite living band.
