#330 - It's Still The Wild, Wild West

The music business is probably more so like the Wild, Wild West these days, than it ever has been, even going back to the 1960’s. Joining us on the show today is the legendary music industry veteran Charlie Peacock, who is a multi Grammy winner,  along with being a multiple genre Billboard chart topping music producer, composer, and recording artist. He has been named by Billboard’s encyclopedia of record producers, as one of the 500 most important music producers in popular music history. He has produced music for film, television, including “A Walk To Remember”, music for “12 Years A Slave”, along with music for the AMC drama Series “Turn - Washington Spies”. He has released more than 27 albums going back to 1982, and is releasing his new album “Every Kind of Uh Oh”. He also has a memoir coming out in 2025 titled “Roots & Rhythm - A Life In Music”.

Also joining Charlie in the studio is his son Sam Ashworth, who in his own right is a notable producer, singer, songwriter, and composer.

If anyone understands the wild, wild west in the music business, it's definitely Charlie and Sam.
