I WAS IN THAT BAND! EP 36 - Don Cento
<p class="isSelectedEnd">This week on I Was In That Band!, Grady sits down with guitarist, producer, songwriter, and longtime friend Don Cento. Don has spent decades following his own creative path, whether that meant jazz, rock, Americana, instrumental music, or whatever else happened to catch his imagination.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">The two share stories from years in the DFW music scene, memories of gigs and mutual experiences, and talk about Don's refusal to chase expectations in favor of following his muse wherever it leads. It's a fun and wide-ranging conversation between old friends about creativity, curiosity, and making the music you want to make.</p> <p>Don Cento is a musician, producer, songwriter, and recording engineer whose work has included the bands Shibboleth and Chomsky, along with collaborations with Sarah Jaffe, Bonnie Whitmore, Jerry David DeCicca, and many others.

I WAS IN THAT BAND! EP 35 - Jimmy McDonough
<p>Jimmy McDonough joins Grady Sandlin on this episode of I WAS IN THAT BAND! for a sprawling conversation about music obsession, biography writing, bootlegs, producers, record collectors, and the emotional toll of telling someone else's story honestly.</p> <p>Best known for acclaimed books on Gary Stewart, Neil Young, Tammy Wynette, Al Green, and Russ Meyer, Jimmy reflects on the overwhelming response to I Am From The Honky Tonks and the nearly 40-year journey that brought the Gary Stewart story to life. The two dive deep into Gary's unreleased recordings, the mystery and romance of bootleg culture, and the idea that unofficial tapes often reveal the real heart of an artist's story.</p> <p>Jimmy also shares stories about Neil Young, David Briggs, Willie Mitchell, the Hi Records rhythm section, and the producers and sidemen who quietly shaped some of the greatest records ever made. Along the way, the conversation explores the disappearing art of long-form biography, the struggle to preserve music history in a disposable digital culture, and why Jimmy still feels compelled to chase unfinished stories — including a long-discussed Jack Nitzsche project.</p> <p>A funny, emotional, and deeply insightful conversation between two lifelong music obsessives about records, memory, mythology, and the people behind the music.</p>

I WAS IN THAT BAND! EP 34 - Nathan Brown
<p class="isSelectedEnd">This week Grady visits remotely with longtime friend Nathan Brown — better known to many as Browningham — originally from Fort Worth, Texas.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Nathan talks about his musical beginnings, the creation and evolution of Browningham, and the years he spent taking his unique DIY project on the road before eventually settling back down in Fort Worth. Along the way, the conversation dives into music culture, touring life, and Nathan's famously passionate — and occasionally unpopular — opinions about music.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">More than anything, this episode feels like an honest catch-up between old friends who've spent decades around the North Texas music scene.</p> <p>This also marks the first remote interview ever featured on I WAS IN THAT BAND!</p>
