Auerbach opens up on co-writing with John Prine, collaborating with Mark Knopfler and the source of his eclectic musical influence

Feb 15, 2018 - 2:35 pm

Considering the wild success of The Black Keys over the past decade, you might imagine Dan Auerbach felt a certain amount of pressure in stepping away from the duo to build his own career as an artist and producer. To the contrary, Auerbach has soared fearlessly. As a producer, he's worked with Dr. John, Ray LaMontagne, Lana Del Rey, Cage The Elephant, and The Pretenders, to name just a few. Auerbach even took home the GRAMMY for Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical at the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Not bad.

Listen Now: "Required Listening," Episode 4 With Dan Auerbach

But perhaps Auerbach is at his most comfortable on his latest solo album, 2017's Waiting On A Song, a decidedly "sunny" album, as "Required Listening" podcast host Scott Goldman, Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum, calls it in the series' latest episode. Auerbach and Goldman dove into the inspirations and collaborations behind Waiting On A Song, starting with where exactly the joy behind the album's comes from.

"I think that these songs, this collection of songs, it does have an uplifting feeling to it. It's a direct result of how I felt when I made the music," says Auerbach. "It was pure joy every day. At home, in the studio, writing and recording with some of these musicians who have made some of my favorite records of all time. I was elated every day."

The spirit in these songs reflect this contentment, but they also let shine through the light from some key collaborators. And while Auerbach has established himself as a master collaborator in recent years, the actual practice of co-writing was relatively new to him. And what better way to dive into it than linking up with songwriting legend, John Prine?

"I didn't even really know what co-writing was all about until a year and a half ago," admits Auerbach. "I'm really comfortable with it because the thing about it is it should be easy. If you get paired with the right person and you have the right chemistry, that's what you're looking for, someone to help the momentum grow. And I met some people like that. I could've gotten together with Prine and maybe nothing would've happened, but it did. It worked. And we wrote six or seven songs together."

Another marquee name appearing on the album's credits is Dire Straits' guitar hero Mark Knopfler on "Shine On Me." From the first clean string plucks, Knopfler's tone is immediately identifiable. As it turns out, Auerbach came into the collaboration remotely, which left the song in Knopfler's capable hands.

"I could hear it on the song. So that night, we did a rough mix, I sent it to my manager, and I said, 'Can you please find Mark Knopfler and send him this song? And ask him very nicely if he would want to participate in any way,'" says Auerbach. "I didn't give him any instructions or anything, and then two days later, we got the song back with his guitar on it… Mark came through and it was awesome because he did exactly what the song needed too, which was so interesting… You send it to a guitar player and you assume that the guitar player is going to do a guitar solo. He didn't. He just played the rhythm guitar. That's what the song needed. That's all it needed. He knew what it needed."

Knowing who to ask to play on what is one of many key responsibilities of the producer, and Auerbach placed all the right calls on Waiting On A Song. Unsurprisingly, his acute musical judgment comes from having a rich background and understanding of rock and roll history.

"Well, my dad had a record collection and that was stocked. He was like an old hippie, so Grateful Dead was on all the time. Allman Brothers were on all the time. He had The Beatles on all the time. But then he also played Sam Cooke and Otis Redding and Louis Jordan," says Auerbach. "It was the combination of all that plus whatever's on the radio. I swear to God I know every Tom Petty song. I've never even owned a Tom Petty record."

Auerbach's latest solo effort plays like a focused culmination of all of these influences and experiences. He skillfully navigates the fine line of integrating the styles of those who inspire him while letting the artist within steer the ship.

"It's like the more things change, the more they stay the same," says Auerbach. "I feel like I have learned so many things and I've gotten better, but my base instincts are kind of still the same as they've always been. …I feel like my DNA was fixed a long time ago and I still always go back to certain things that I do that are just a part of who I am, musically."

Porter discusses his imaginative new album, his process of learning the delicate balance between humility and leadership, and how theater saved his life

Jun 28, 2018 - 8:37 am

For three decades, Billy Porter Jr. has been blazing his own trail as a true quadruple-threat artist. A singer, actor, songwriter, and playwright, Porter has found success on his own terms. Since bursting on the scene in the first revival of "Grease," Porter has made various Broadway and film appearances and delivered a Tony Award and GRAMMY-winning performance originating the role of Lola in "Kinky Boots."

Listen Now: "Required Listening" With Billy Porter Jr.

Now, Porter has released his latest music triumph, the ambitious new album, Billy Porter Presents: The Soul Of Richard Rodgers, and he's taken on the charismatic role of Pray Tell on Ryan Murphy's new groundbreaking FX series "Pose." His impressive body of work and continuous artistic evolution proves Porter's talent is matched only by his drive. Lucky for us, Portner joined us for an episode of the GRAMMY Museum's podcast, "Required Listening."

As Porter reveals to "Required Listening" host Scott Goldman, Artistic Director of the GRAMMY Museum, the stage called to him from an early age, starting with his time in church as a child. Interestingly, his new album embodies a soulful sound that harkens back to those church roots while infusing the flair and brilliance of his Broadway work.

When asked why Broadway music and soul music work so well together for him, Porter says, "I think it is my journey to it. I grew up singing in the church, singing gospel music, singing R&B and soul music, and you know, [my] childhood wasn't so lovely. I was looking for stuff to occupy my time, get me out. ... In the sixth grade I was introduced to theater. Being onstage in a theatrical production and going to a Pentecostal church are kind of the same thing. Pentecostal church service on a Sunday morning is theater of the highest order. So it just worked for me."

It sure did work. Billy Porter Presents: The Soul Of Richard Rodgers feels uniquely his own, as he curated the project as a celebration of the work of the great GRAMMY-winning composer, Richard Rodgers. But he doesn’t do it alone. Porter called upon his circle of musical friends to contribute to the album, including Pentatonix, Ledisi, India.Arie, Brandon Victor Dixon, Zaire Park, Leslie Odom Jr., and many more. Collectively, the project is an exhibition in collaboration, something that came naturally to the experienced entertainer. But the real glue that holds the album together, according to Porter, is the timeless familiarity and quality of the songs.

"When people know the song, the deconstruction of the arrangement becomes that much more amazing to them because they know where it came from. I think with Richard Rodgers' music, that was the pop music of the day," says Porter. "Everybody on the planet knows a Richard Rodgers song, even if you don't know that you know one. … So the music being in our DNA has allowed the project to resonate in a really great way."

Porter didn't get to a place in his career where he could execute a project of this magnitude by sitting back and letting things happen. He came to Broadway through years of hard work, standing up for his artistry and refusing to be pigeonholed into roles granted by an industry that wanted his high-flying vocal acrobatics but were unwilling to help tell his story. Porter learned to make success on his own terms by demanding respect and challenging himself in new and different ways, something he has called, "owning the leader in me."

"I've always felt like a leader, but there was this part of me coming from the church, the idea of, 'You can't be braggadocious. It's a gift and therefore you need to be humble.' And that's all good," says Porter. "But the humility of it, for me, it reached a ceiling. I had to go, 'You know what? I actually know what I’m doing, and I actually need to be out in the front doing that. So I'm going to honor that. I'm going to own that. I'm going to have faith in that. I'm going to step out on faith and I'm going to do it.'"

One thing is clear: Porter belongs onstage. He also left listeners of "Required Listening" with some valuable advice for others singers on how to find the path to where they belong.

"The only thing that you can be is the best version of yourself," says Porter. "I lived it. People tried to make me something else because who I am and what I represent made them uncomfortable. So the minute you stop caring about that, you find your voice."

Latest episode of the GRAMMY Museum's podcast features an in-depth discussion with the GRAMMY-winning music mogul and the head of Live Nation about the development of 'Can't Stop Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story'

GRAMMYs
Mar 8, 2018 - 2:18 pm

From the early 1990s to the present day, GRAMMY-winning multi-disciplined rapper/producer, label executive, actor, and global entrepreneur Sean "Diddy" Combs has become an industry legend.

Listen Now: "Required Listening," Episode 7 With Diddy & Heather Parry

Diddy leveraged his once-nascent Sony Music imprint label Bad Boy Entertainment into a diversified business empire that touches everything from music recording, release and promotion to independent lifestyle brand ventures like clothing lines and premium distilled spirits. His impressive rise to power from an unpaid record label intern to imprint label owner to music industry mogul — along the way becoming the second wealthiest hip-hop artist in history (recently dethroned from the No. 1 spot by Jay-Z) — has now been encapsulated in Can't Stop Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story,  an intriguing feature-length documentary film that is the subject of the latest episode of "Required Listening," the music podcast produced by HowStuffWorks and the GRAMMY Museum in partnership with the Recording Academy.

Produced by Live Nation film/TV division head Heather Parry, the film also centers around the Brooklyn, N.Y., show dates of the 2016 Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, which saw Diddy rejoined with artists such as Lil' Kim, Faith Evans, Carl Thomas, French Montana, and others whose careers he helped build in the early days of Bad Boy Entertainment. Director Daniel Kaufman has described the documentary as, "a fierce pursuit of the American dream."

"[The film] really just really shows the embodiment of the dream and the hustle, and you get to see that through an unfiltered lens."  —​ Sean "Diddy" Combs

"I think the title's so appropriate," said Parry of the film. "Because Puff literally doesn't stop, doesn't take no for an answer. I would sum it up like it's a beautiful, legendary history of a man that just doesn't quit …and I think that is the American dream."

Reflecting on how she got involved in the project, Parry explains that she and Diddy first met over two decades earlier, when she was interning at MTV. Years later, when the time came for Diddy to put together his Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, Parry herself had just started the then-brand-new Live Nation Productions film division of the entertainment conglomerate.  When the word came down that Live Nation would be promoting Diddy's tour, the decision to put a crew together to document the experience almost made itself.

"We moved at lightning speed. We decided to do [the film] and we had like three weeks to find a director, and put it on it, and go." —​ Heather Parry

"I think of my biggest records, or hits, or success has been when the audience is able to be vulnerable," Diddy explained, responding to GRAMMY Museum Executive Director and "Required Listening" host Scott Goldman's praise for the depth of insight and emotion the film was able to achieve. "I knew if I was going to step out in this type of medium …I just wanted to tell the truth."

Digging deeper into the broader goals behind creating Can't Stop Won't Stop, Diddy added, "I wanted to change the narrative, just in general, of how hip-hop is perceived, and also – we as black men and women – how we're perceived based on what we see through media or the constant images of negativity that we see. I wanted to change the narrative and show the new narrative of strength, of black strength, of black excellence, of shining a positive light on the positive things that we do, the magic that we have, the brilliance that we have, and do it in an unapologetic way."

GRAMMYs
Mar 2, 2018 - 11:55 am

What do you get when you pair an eclectic collection of contemporary pop hits with one of the most successful song interpreters of all time? And then add one of music's most decorated producers and an industry executive with a golden ear?

Listen Now: "Required Listening," Episode 6 With Johnny Mathis, Clive Davis And Babyface

You get Johnny Mathis' latest album, 2017's Sings The Great New American Songbook, which features covers of songs by Adele, Pharrell Williams, Leonard Cohen, Whitney Houston, and Keith Urban, and big assists from producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and esteemed record executive Clive Davis.

On the latest episode of "Required Listening," the new music podcast by HowStuffWorks and the GRAMMY Museum in partnership with the Recording Academy, host Scott Goldman uncovers the LP's complete story with Mathis, Babyface and Davis, including topics such as the song choices, production decisions and how the collaboration took shape.

"It was a joy to work that hard and to get the results." — Johnny Mathis

Sings The Great New American Songbook represents a fresh take on a covers album in linking the 82-year-old Mathis with a slew of modern-day pop smashes. Among the LP's cuts are Adele's "Hello," Williams' "Happy," Urban's "Blue Ain't Your Color," Cohen's "Hallelujah," and Houston's "Run To You." Getting a crack at putting his own spin on these contemporary songs was a unique challenge for Mathis, who received a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003.

"You want me to sing that song?" joked Mathis, when asked his reaction to the songs Babyface and Davis put forth for him to interpret. "[There was a] revelation [with] these songs — they're new to me.'"

Mathis felt a positive synergy with the album's producer, 11-time GRAMMY winner Babyface, who has stewarded hits for artists from Houston, TLC and Boyz II Men to Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande and Toni Braxton, in addition to his own impressive solo career.

"We did a lot of takes because he wanted certain qualities that he heard that sounded like Johnny Mathis," said Mathis. "Sometimes I'd go into the studio and your voice isn't quite what it should be … and you don't sound like Johnny Mathis. [Babyface] was wonderful. I would sing something and I thought, 'I can't do it any better.' And he'd say, "I know you can't but you can sing it differently.'

"The first moment that Johnny started singing, we were just like, 'That's Johnny Mathis,'" added Babyface. "It was the same beautiful voice I grew up listening to."

Davis described Mathis as being in "the top of the pantheon of all-time artists" alongside the likes of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. The record executive expressed his excitement for every song on the project, while drawing parallels to his past successes such as The Bodyguard soundtrack and Santana's Supernatural.

"Every song in this album is a wonderful song reinterpreted through the work of Kenny and Johnny," said Davis. "It's a refreshing, creative traditional pop album that has respect for new material that can grow into standards."

"It was a joy to work that hard and to get the results," added Mathis. "Sometimes you work hard and you don't get the results. But this time we did."

Learn all about how the trio got those results on the podcast's latest episode. And be sure to tune in for future "Required Listening" episodes with special guests such as Sean "Diddy" Combs and Lindsey Buckingham and Christie McVie of Fleetwood Mac, among others.
