A Conversation with Richard Baskin

We were lucky enough to sit down for an interview with the composer of Nashville, Buffalo Bill and the Indians, Welcome to LA, RICHARD BASKIN - who shared stories with us from throughout his career; starting out as a singer-songwriter in LA, meeting Altman and working on all of the music of Nashville, his experiences with Keith Carradine, Ronee Blakely, Gwen Welles, Henry Gibson. This leads up to Buffalo Bill and the Indians, working at the Lion's Gate Production studios, and right into Alan Rudolph's WELCOME TO LA. We discuss being a part of making these two films that are centered around his music, how both directors worked on massively different scales, and we close out on some general conversation on his work, Altman and Rudolph's style of work, etc. 

Thank you so much again to Mr. Baskin for taking some time during the holidays to chat with us, and making our show feel legit, we hope to do more interviews with Altman / Rudolph, even PTA collaborators if we can. This was so much fun and thank you to our listeners who helped us all year and keep the show alive through Patreon or just listening on the main feed! You're all awesome, we hope to have a great 2025.
