   I WAS IN THAT BAND! EP 45 - Linda Waring

   This week on I Was In That Band!, we welcome drummer Linda Waring, whose remarkable career takes us deep into the Texas blues and rock scene. Linda came up through DFW's legendary blues music scene, cutting her teeth at the infamous Cellar alongside contemporaries Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan. From there, she went on to play with Texas guitar great Bugs Henderson, country-rock outfit Calico, and hard-rock powerhouse Nitzinger. Linda shares stories about her early days behind the drums, the wild atmosphere of The Cellar, and recording at Capitol Records in Los Angeles. It's a firsthand look at a fascinating chapter in Texas music history, told by someone who was right in the middle of it.

   I WAS IN THAT BAND! EP 43 - Dale Emerson Seigfreid

   This week on I Was In That Band!, Grady sits down with Nashville singer-songwriter and former David Allan Coe pedal steel guitarist Dale Emerson Seigfreid. Dale had a front-row seat to one of the wildest eras in country music, hitting the road with Coe as the outlaw country movement was taking shape. He shares stories from those days, gives his version of a few legendary tall tales, and even has a few George Jones tales to share along the way. Dale recalls what it was really like to be right in the middle of a scene that would become country music history. From life on the road with David Allan Coe to the characters, chaos, music, and mythology surrounding the outlaw movement, Dale offers a firsthand look at an era that has only grown more legendary with time. Today, Dale continues to write and perform as a singer-songwriter in Nashville, carrying with him a lifetime of songs—and some pretty incredible stories.
