The Nov. 15 edition of Greasy Tracks featured an interview with Mike Miz who discussed his recently-released Sometimes By Surprise as well as a tribute to Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay.
Here’s the archive, while a playlist is here.
Now fully part of the Nashville scene, Miz, not to be confused with the wrestler, has made a gem of an album, his third, much of it co-written with modern day outlaw country troubadour Boo Ray.
We celebrated the career of Donna Jean who recently passed away at 78. Best-known for her association with the Grateful Dead, she was first and foremost an in-demand studio singer. We focused on some of her session work, some obligatory tracks with the Jerry Garcia Band as well as post-GD projects including The Heart of Gold Band, The Ghosts and solo work.
Drummer Greg Anton and guitarist Steve Kimock are interviewed and share insights on Donna Jean who first worked with the duo in 1979 after she and keyboardist then-husband Keith Godchaux had left the Grateful Dead. They would record as The Ghosts and the short-lived Heart of Gold Band.
Anton and Kimock would go on to form Zero in 1980.
