On the latest episode of People Have The Power Austin-based musician Shakey Graves joins host Steve Baltin to discuss the tenth anniversary reissue of Graves' 'Roll The Bones', why Willie Nelson is like the Santa Claus of Austin and protest songs from Pink Floyd, Buffy Saint-Marie and more.
Shakey Graves' influential debut, 'Roll The Bones,' turns 10 this year. And to celebrate he has reissued the album, releasing it to streaming services for the first time. It's perfect timing for the Austin-based Graves to revisit the past because as he tells host Steve Baltin on this week's People Have The Power, Graves hasn't been prolific during COVID. He has used the time to take a break.
He talks about the break, selects protest songs from Pink Floyd, Sam Cooke and more, his admiration for David Bowie and why it took him a minute to become a Bruce Springsteen fan on this week's show.
