Instant Love Podcast

“She says don’t worry baby, everything will come out alright.” Hosts Richard Gottehrer and Allison Zatarain reminisce about the time Richard was “stood up” for a dinner date in L.A. by the free-spirited singer Rachel Fannan, and how she made things alright with her “Don’t Worry Baby” recording sung woman to woman for Instant Love years later. You’ll hear her version as well as the original by The Beach Boys. Richard and Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes geek out about recording the track together in his Venice, CA studio. Resident musicologist Richard Barone shares Beach Boy Al Jardine’s love for the new version, and how Brian Wilson calls the song an homage to a legendary writer/producer.
