Tom Petty Tribute
For Tom
with Paul Zollo
&
Nate Hertweck
with Marshall Thompson

From ANDRAS JONES: Dearest lovers of Tom Petty. This final Pop Oracle reading of our Tom Petty tribute was simply, heartbreakingly, perfect. On more levels than you or I can fully comprehend yet. I’ll tell you this. It was a bumpy, fractious road to this reading and I wouldn’t trade a second of it. We […]

Andras Jones
&
Marshall Thompson

From Cooper Walker: “I didn’t know what to expect as a guest on Radio8Ball, although I did have the opportunity to experience the show a few times as a musician in the Radio8Band along with my good friend and musical guide, Marshall Thompson. Having gotten to see Andras in action for a few days that […]

Nilsson Tribute:
Curtis Armstrong
&
Marshall Thompson
w/ The Nilssons

From ANDRAS JONES: …and then the RELIGION kicked in. CURTIS ARMSTRONG is a serious Nilsson scholar. Yeah, he’s a big time, iconic character actor (as big as Van Dyke Parks!) but he only used that cred as a way to gain access to the Nilsson vaults at RCA Records. Think about that! While his peers […]

Marshall Thompson
&
Vivian Cook

From ANDRAS JONES: I’m sure many of the more amazing synchronicities on Radio8Ball seem planned to the listener but I promise you they are not. Like this one. It’s tempting to think that, leading up to Christmas, we’d choose to go full-on Christian for a musical divination. I promise you, my intentions were the exact […]

Marshall Thompson

MARSHALL THOMPSON is a member of The Radio8Band.

Marshall Thompson
&
Andras Jones

From ANDRAS JONES: Our second installment of this Radio8Ball session with host MATT BROUSSEAU and me performing the role of the musical guest features keyboard player MARSHALL THOMPSON asking a question about the weather. I’m having a hard time picturing my old friend as a weatherman, either kind, but if that’s what he wants who […]

Tom Petty Tribute
For Mike Campbell
with Paul Zollo
&
Andras Jones

From ANDRAS JONES: In our musical divination for Heartbreaker’s guitarist (and co-songwriter) Mike Campbell we got a track from the band’s first record. One of my favorites. Of course I kinda muffed the lyrics, missing the all important “I’m” in favor a of a repetition of “I’ve been” in reference to the protagonist in the […]

Tom Petty Tribute
with Paul Zollo
&
Andras Jones

From ANDRAS JONES: I fly down to LA once a month to record three of these episodes at Starburns Industries in Burbank, and that week in October, for no discernible reason, I’d left one completely unbooked. When Petty died, it seemed obvious that we should devote that spot to tributing his music. So first I […]

Tom Petty Tribute
The Stevie Question
with Paul Zollo
&
Jeff Cleveland

From ANDRAS JONES: It’s really all in the tracks on this one with a heartbreaking performance from Jeff Cleveland, Nate Hertweck & Marshall Thompson of the band Dinosaur Tooth, and insightful commentary from Paul Zollo. Just a couple things to add… 1. A possible answer to my question about why Stevie never joined The Heartbreakers […]

Andras Jones
and
Raina Rose

MR. JONES & THE PREVIOUS provided last week’s answer to SYLVIA BLACK’S question with their song “Message For The Moon”. Between that and COOPER WALKER’S song of the day “Suicide” our host ANDRAS JONES is ensconced in a seriously existential conundrum of a web of synchronicity. It’s a happy/sad father’s day for Mr. Jones. Featuring: […]
