to Strung Out. And you can tell it's that time of the year. We are out in the back 40 and we got capers. The longer dog here my co-host and I have with me singer songwriter, producer, composer Liam Davis and, we're going to get into two good podcasts talking about his work.

00:00:37:39 - 00:00:53:59
Unknown
He's been with a myriad different acts, probably, the Frisbee, probably one of the better known on the ball, the bunch. But when you start him with the song and hopefully we won't have a train or a plane ruin your. Ruin your work. Worse things have happened. Yes, this is a truth.

00:01:01:07 - 00:01:38:29
Unknown
It's only a memory. Did it really go down? As we recall? You know, we see what we want to see even when there ain't nothing there at all. Well, you went all the downtown ways. You play the blame. How could I be so naive to take the blame? For you. Hey, you thought it was a foolish thing anyway.

00:01:38:33 - 00:02:05:38
Unknown
Thinking I could give you a brand new start. Because nobody's wedding day guarantees home to an orphaned heart. Still, I tried to stand up for you, girl. I tried, but when I said I'd save you from the world, I lied.

00:02:05:43 - 00:02:53:30
Unknown
I like a wayward child. Don't forget what you came for a thousand miles. Just to make sure your name was true love. You. Shame on you. I. It's only a memory. I can see it flashing before my eyes. The way that we used to be. Each other's breathing in love's disguise. Oh, I should've known we never stood a chance.

00:02:53:34 - 00:03:30:32
Unknown
And I never should've let your fate be put in my hand, in my hands a way which I don't forget. What you came for a thousand miles. Just to make sure you're right I know it's true. But shame on you.

00:03:30:37 - 00:03:37:42
Unknown
Oh!

00:03:37:47 - 00:03:45:08
Unknown
Who do?

00:03:45:13 - 00:03:52:25
Unknown
Who you.

00:03:52:30 - 00:03:59:54
Unknown
Who I'm.

00:03:59:59 - 00:04:03:50
Unknown
Who you.

00:04:03:55 - 00:04:24:58
Unknown
But I never thought you could reach. So far. It hurts to finally recognize the way you all.

00:04:25:02 - 00:04:51:49
Unknown
A way which I don't forget. What you came for. The stories misfiled that you kept in the same room as your wicked smile. Well, they don't have a name for who you.

00:04:51:54 - 00:05:03:16
Unknown
Let us do you do?

00:05:03:37 - 00:05:25:35
Unknown
Well, with that powerful sound effect of the siren going by now, perfect is perfect. Boy, what a what a poignant and sad song in a way. You know? But I didn't really mean to kick it off in the book with the love of good pop sensibilities. You know, I love it. It because it's just like it's just a powerful song.

00:05:25:35 - 00:05:52:14
Unknown
We've all had that kind of person in our life where they kind of did us wrong, you know? And but yet to be could be able to deliver it with such a powerful, moving, melodic delivery. It's really wonderful. Well, thank you. And, Will and the second podcast, of course, we're going to delve really deep into how you do that sort of magic.

00:05:52:19 - 00:06:18:38
Unknown
But, tell us a little bit. First of all, I'm admiring your Gibson. What's the story behind it? Well, you maybe know Doug McBride, mastering engineer who had a studio called gravity. Oh, yes. Okay. I know of him. Years and years. Yes, yes. And, he was making the transition, from, you know, fully operational tracking studio to his mastering business.

00:06:18:41 - 00:06:37:56
Unknown
Okay. And so he's offloading us. Bunch of stuff. And, and I was in the market for an acoustic at the time, and he was like, you know, I've got this, j 100 in the back. And I was like, okay, nice. And he, And that was around the time that Beck's, SeaChange record was out.

00:06:38:01 - 00:07:04:31
Unknown
And I'll never forget because he came out and he took it out of the case and he just played this E minor. And I was like, well that's that, that's that song. That's that. Yeah. Yeah. And of course, I love the, the G 200, which is kind of the Elvis model. Right. And at the time I was doing a lot more solo, stuff, and I was really wanting a lot of big low end, which this really delivers.

00:07:04:31 - 00:07:27:59
Unknown
Delivers. Yeah. That's it for recording. It can get a little tubby, to be honest. But, but I as a, as a guy in a guitar sort of thing. It's just hard to be. Well, I play acoustic bass, so, I know what you know, having something with a little bit of of of depth. It's not good for the posture, but, other than that, it sounds great, right?

00:07:28:04 - 00:07:47:01
Unknown
I mean, isn't that great? Well, you've got the. You do the low slung. Yes, I do it, I do it depends on like what? You know where the bursitis is. And it was, day, but, you know, are you, are you a Chicago boy? You know, where did you grow up? I grew up, just one town up in Evanston.

00:07:47:10 - 00:08:12:45
Unknown
Oh, wow. Another, Evanston. Yeah. And in fact, I, I lived for years over at two Iron Ridge, just two blocks away. Okay, how cool is that? And, and were your parents musical? I mean, what got you going in this direction? Well, it's not a unique story. Okay, but I heard the Beatles when I was, like, in second grade.

00:08:12:46 - 00:08:44:05
Unknown
Something like that. Okay. And, And I was never the same. Yeah. I did not have, musical parents necessarily. They were artists. My father was a art teacher, and, and my mom was a poet. So the arts were very encouraged in my household. So much so that my younger brother once apologized for the family for not being creative.

00:08:44:10 - 00:09:08:59
Unknown
We were like, it's okay. Oh, God. Now, I'm sure you have other. Okay, that makes the story unique. I mean, I love that, sorry, guys, I'm just a long. So I, I, I just kind of. I was fascinated with music, and I from a very young age, and this is, you know, I was one of those kids who just sat with my headphones in front of the record player.

00:09:09:04 - 00:09:27:32
Unknown
And then I kind of started to, like, try to hear the different instruments and stuff, and then I would, you know, like, one day I'd be the drummer and I'd set up stuff. Yeah, you know, mimic the drums. And then the next time I. And then I understood that there was a bass, you know, and I was like, that was a weird thing.

00:09:27:34 - 00:09:52:24
Unknown
Why is that not? It looks like a guitar. What does it do? And so early on, you were already putting on the producer hat. Yeah. You're already getting into the studio then by dissecting the band. Yeah, I was, I was trying to separate sounds pretty early on before I played anything. And, this is all done before, the age of, garage band and all that sort of stuff, I'm assuming, or.

00:09:52:31 - 00:10:29:08
Unknown
Yeah, I mean, they were garage bands, but they were bands that played in garages, right? Yeah. I mean, we play I think we're probably the last generation of that probably. You know, it's just kind of an odd thing. But, you know, besides the Beatles, which, you know, is a wonderful band, obviously. And, and it's amazing that, you know, my daughter, who's 11, the Beatles, it's still they're they're the ones that kind of put all the, the energy and the drive into all I want to pursue music.

00:10:29:12 - 00:10:54:05
Unknown
Did you have any other, influences with it? Were there any local people, too? I'm just curious, because you being a Chicago person, you know, there had to be people around you that kind of set. You interested in the craft? Yeah. For sure. I certainly had, other, you know, the Beatles were, the kind of foundation of this, but then I couldn't get enough of it, you know, I dug into my.

00:10:54:12 - 00:11:29:30
Unknown
My dad was a big jazz fan. And so I would dig into he had 78 and I would dig into his record collection. And then my mom was big into, like, Barry Manilow and Rita Coolidge and stuff like that. And I adored those records. But I was really, really dug that stuff. And then, you know, sometime I probably six, seventh grade, I got into, harder stuff and there was a kind of cool little punk scene that was going on in Evanston at the time.

00:11:29:30 - 00:12:05:19
Unknown
And there were these free shows at Hemingway Church on Chicago Avenue in, and then The Cubby Bear, which was just like a little hole in the road. Right. Just a dive. I don't know why my parents let me go down, because at that time, it was. It was sketchy. Sketchy? Yeah. Yeah. But I would go down, and we'd see these all ages shows, and it was like, naked ray gun rights of the accused and, and then, some Evanston bands like verboten, which is adjacent, introduced his band.

00:12:05:19 - 00:12:28:42
Unknown
Yeah. And, and Zach Canter was the drummer in that band. He was frisbees drummer. So, and we were all I had a a band at that time. Calling prostitution of the mind. Prostitution of the mind. It was just our, you know, our foray into punk. It was our experiment. Right. Because, well, for punk, it's perfectly.

00:12:28:47 - 00:12:45:55
Unknown
It was pretty good. Yeah. Right. And it was, you know, we were trying to be hardcore and so that that's a it's a pretty hardcore name. So there was kind of that bit of a scene and then and then I think, you know, I then I heard R.E.M., I was just like, well I'm going to do that.

00:12:45:59 - 00:13:14:01
Unknown
Yeah. And R.E.M. of course, is, you know, we're talking late 80s, yeah. When they first came out, with recording and, you know, that I for me, you know, I was in college at the time, so I was, but the fact that Michael Stipe, and I've said this before, the fact that he's one of the few singers that could articulate without you really understanding what the hell he was saying.

00:13:14:01 - 00:13:36:11
Unknown
And you didn't care. He didn't care. And it was just. But it worked. Yeah. You know, and it's like it became everyone's lyrics. You know, you kind of just plugged in your own words and stuff, but, you know, R.E.M. easily. But the band, would you say that kind of all helped kickstart a lot of the Americana kind of feeling?

00:13:36:13 - 00:14:09:49
Unknown
I think that's out there, you know? Yeah, yeah. Or restarted it. Restarted it. Yeah. I just, I definitely think that there was a kind of bird's revival. Yeah. Part of that. Right. Absolutely. But I think what you're saying is true that the there was something about, like, all great bands, there was some kind of alchemy that you couldn't identify that had something to do with, you know, Peter Bucks, you know, very, very Americana, very Roger McGuinn stuff, with Stipe and his kind of I'm the frontman, but don't, you know, pay me too much attention?

00:14:09:51 - 00:14:43:59
Unknown
Yeah. Frontman type frontman. Yeah. And then, yeah, I mean, just the absolute otherworldly musicianship of Mike Mills and and then to have Bill Barry just holding on, it was just a perfect little, Bill, I was lucky enough to see them at the air again, which probably wouldn't be the best room, really, you know, in hindsight now. But I did see them exciting, and it was exciting as all hell and dirty and dirty because they didn't have enough hair and and I just always I, you know, such a beautiful ballroom once upon a time.

00:14:43:59 - 00:15:06:49
Unknown
And you know what the, the, I think what kind of, you know, they were calling it Americana or whatever at the time, but that folk kind of driving sensibility to it and very, as I like to call it, meat and potatoes, kind of, for some music, but delivered in such a way that, it got everybody kind of going, you know.

00:15:07:04 - 00:15:22:08
Unknown
So, yeah. And the thing that you mentioned about the lyrics, where it was almost like, social currency to be able to, like, compare notes about what you think he's singing. Right? So it's like, I remember my friends and I, you know, like singing along to see. What do you think this is? Oh. Oh, I thought it was that.

00:15:22:08 - 00:15:43:18
Unknown
Oh, maybe it is that word. What is that, you know. Well yeah. God help the anybody trying to cover one of the songs. Yeah. Because, you know, you know. Yeah. I mean, to this day, he's one of those artists that I really that doesn't, you know, especially with the early stuff, it doesn't really matter to me, really. What he was singing was more the emotion that came about.

00:15:43:23 - 00:16:10:36
Unknown
So obviously a big, big, band for a lot of us, in that at that time frame, what was it that well, how did you cross the Rubicon and just say, okay, I'm going to do this, or did you I mean, were you like, you know, one hand, you know, working a gig with your parents where they just like, you know, what happened here to get you to where you are now?

00:16:10:41 - 00:16:28:23
Unknown
Well, that's a great question. I love the Rubicon. Yeah. Does it feel like it? I mean, at some point, you have to kind of make that cross. Yeah. Exactly. Right. Yeah. And and you have to do it for yourself. It's just like anything else, right? It's like it's. It's a decision no one can make for you.

00:16:28:28 - 00:16:58:57
Unknown
And I, my parents were very, very supportive, like, you know, almost to a form. But my grandparents, you know, that generation, they were like, you know, good luck, kid. Are you sure you don't want to, you know. And so I was getting a lot of that kind of from I mean, there were plenty of naysayers, and it really was, I mean, I always had a sense, like a kind of an emotional sense that I wanted to do it.

00:16:59:02 - 00:17:20:39
Unknown
But operationally, I didn't really, crossover until I learned, that if I declared a music major in college, I could get free guitar lessons. Oh, wow. And I, I'd already been playing maybe for 3 or 4 years at that time. Where did you go to school? I went to, Kenyon College in central Ohio. Okay.

00:17:20:44 - 00:17:42:55
Unknown
And, and so I thought, well, I'll just declare the major and then kind of see. Okay, so what's good on you? At least you were you were, you were brave enough to say, I'm going to be a music major. And and, you know, I went into, like, communications. I was like, wow. Oh, yes. You're right. It's horrible.

00:17:43:00 - 00:18:08:55
Unknown
Thank you. Papers. It's does that every time I mentioned communication. Very true. Well, you know, but that was I mean, I studied voice and my on college and Loyola. What's going on? Okay, you can see things can be good. But, you know, that's great to get the major with, you know, actual, free guitar lessons.

00:18:08:59 - 00:18:32:25
Unknown
Yeah, there were benefits and and then, of course, I had to take classes in music. Oh, no. Which is great. So. Yeah. No, I was very. And, yeah, it was really about like, for me, it was, I loved theory. I still do, it was there were lots of moments. Oh, that's what that's called.

00:18:32:30 - 00:18:55:02
Unknown
Oh, that's what that's called. Yeah. Oh, that's what that's called. And it was really like learning a language. Absolutely. And I'm very grateful for that because it allows, you know, it's like a shorthand with other musicians. And, you know, if you have, you know, the quicker you can communicate it, you know? Right. You can say a lot of time and, and headache, especially in the studio situation, especially in the studio, especially as a producer.

00:18:55:17 - 00:19:22:12
Unknown
Yeah. Enormous work when you were it it Canyon. You know, we already thinking, hey, you know, I could, I could see myself producing artists as well. Or we were like, thinking, where were you at this point where you're like saying, okay, I'm going to teach. I'm going to did anybody kind of say, hey, listen, you know Liam Davis, that's a good name, you know, why don't you why don't you get out there and start performing?

00:19:22:17 - 00:19:51:06
Unknown
Or was it, you know, what happened at that point? Thank you for that question. I don't I there were a lot of people around me saying this thing that you're talking that Liam Davis is like a famous name. You could be a famous person. And, and I did enjoy performing, but not quite as much as I enjoyed, like, helping other bands just in, like, I was a recording tech for the music department.

00:19:51:10 - 00:20:09:36
Unknown
So it, you know, anything, any time, anybody came through, you know, we had a to Sennheiser for 40 ones that I would set up in an X, y and like, and I loved it. And we have fast techs for track. And I would, you know, that's what I recorded. Everything great. And so I had access to this equipment.

00:20:09:36 - 00:20:36:23
Unknown
And so I just started recording bands around campus, and, and I just really, got into that. And so I, I've always had this kind of, duality going on where I just always had a producer's mindset. And then, also being a songwriter. Well, it's it's too bad that, you know, Chicago doesn't have any really good studios.

00:20:36:28 - 00:21:09:12
Unknown
You know, it's I mean, yeah. And and even, you know, even in the 80s and stuff like, I mean, Chicago had and still does, you know, a lot of great, people that just were really adept at recording, don't you think that, so, you know, I don't know if you knew, like, Craig Williams doctor call you know, early on, you know, and out of his basement and, just one of these guys, you go in, you're like, in the hands of somebody that you were trusting your whole.

00:21:09:17 - 00:21:38:14
Unknown
Yeah, musical career. You know, that's a really good point. You know, especially for young bands here. You know, you're you're entrusting your whole vision to this guy in his basement. Yeah, yeah. And it's like. Yeah. And how many of us did that and. Right. And are still doing it, it's still doing it, you know. And then there were the more, you know, sophisticated studios, you know, down in the loop and stuff, but that some bands would go to or, better established artists.

00:21:38:14 - 00:22:04:55
Unknown
But it when you graduated then were you like, okay, now what? Or were you like, at that point when you got your degree in that were you like, okay, now I know I can do this or I think, I know I can do this. I think at that point it was really just, it's sort of a race for vanity.

00:22:04:59 - 00:22:22:58
Unknown
If I'm honest, it was kind of like, well, I, you know, I'll take the summer and I'll. I'd never seen the country, and I'll drive around the country and I'm just going to move to Boston because I had a band together and, and then I just thought it just be a couple months and then I'll get a record deal, and that'll be, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

00:22:23:04 - 00:22:55:57
Unknown
Right. And I love it. I'll go to record deal. And it'll all be good. It'll all be fun. I mean, I saw it in Spin and Rolling Stone every month. I mean, what how hard could it be? And, I'm guessing that you were pretty close in age, so we were coming in, in an era where everything was changing so rapidly, our people that were maybe ten years older than us did get record deals, were approached by a and our people, and it did seem like that was going to be the natural.

00:22:56:02 - 00:23:13:04
Unknown
That's how you do it. It's the way of things, you know. And I've got the talent and I put in the time and, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, you know, so what happened to you then? You didn't go to law school? I did, I did, I went to Boston. You didn't take long, but I was there for about a year.

00:23:13:09 - 00:23:37:41
Unknown
And I had a band together that was, we were a very strange little, trio. Kind of a, like a it was like a reggae pop. Kind of a power trio. Fun thing. It was fun. It was a fun, little band. But then the drummer went to dental school, and, you know, that's kind of all it took.

00:23:37:41 - 00:24:05:34
Unknown
And, and I had, other friends who were graduating, from school who were moving to Chicago. And so, I came back home. Set up shop here was a homecoming kind of feeling like, oh, God, I'm going back. Or was it more like, you know, I see opportunity here. Yeah. I what's there's a Dylan lyric like, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

00:24:05:43 - 00:24:32:21
Unknown
Right. And so it was like, okay. It was just kind of like everything was pointing towards that. And, and I had, specifically a couple of, friends who I had, written songs with before, and I, I wanted to be in a kind of I was writing songs for my band, and I wanted to be in a more collaborative, creative environment.

00:24:32:21 - 00:24:59:11
Unknown
So that's. So that was kind of the, the main thing. And I also it was coming from a I just had more of a community here and you know, it was easier to get a day job and it was easier to, you know, make friends and, but we're going to, we're going to take a little break because I hear a train of common folk, Johnny Cash and, and then what we'll do is we'll have you play, a song.

00:24:59:16 - 00:25:20:41
Unknown
We'll just do it that way once the train goes by. Great. And, there ever was a song lyric. The drummer wanted to be a dentist. He has to be up there. My brothers. I was in an all brother band, and, at the time, in the late 80s, and we got picked for, like, Star Search and all that other kind of crazy stuff, but,

00:25:20:45 - 00:25:46:05
Unknown
Yeah, everybody, everybody. My family, you know, my brother was going to med school at the time he was drumming, and so he was on call. And so the joke was, is there a drummer in the house, you know, when you're playing, gigs, you know? So, but we're going to take a little break. We're going to be, back with the second part here, and we're going to have, Liam play us in on the second part so we can let this train go by.

00:25:46:14 - 00:25:49:25
Unknown

00:26:49:34 - 00:27:06:27
Unknown
Came off in a hurry. You thought it would always weigh you down. Came off in a hurry. Never even saw it hit the ground.

00:27:06:32 - 00:27:23:50
Unknown
All these years it was same old two is calling your names from the others. You were wrapped in the silk of.

00:27:23:55 - 00:27:28:54
Unknown
You are bathed in the milk of.

00:27:28:59 - 00:27:40:53
Unknown
In a way you could well come. Hey, old friends, until you came off in a hurry.

00:27:40:58 - 00:27:54:24
Unknown
You thought it was part of who you are? It came off in a hurry. You knelt. The feeling for the seconds.

00:27:54:29 - 00:28:11:51
Unknown
Every day you kept it to yourself. That's your way. Never ask for help when you know that you need it.

00:28:11:55 - 00:28:46:45
Unknown
And you can't stop repeating. Tell yourself you're defeating all your see. Came off in a hurry.

nice. Thank you. Really nice. And, just, What a great imagery of good hard rain revealing the truth. You know, that person? And it's, you know, just, a nice way of, talking about, finding out about a person's personality, I guess, or whatever, you know, that that, but the the idea is, like, it the hard rain itself wasn't expected almost, you know.

00:30:16:24 - 00:30:35:08
Unknown
Yeah, we're certainly that that that all it would take is a is that a good hard, very good hard rain and then the folk. Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. That's just you, you definitely go and jumping the gun on the next podcast. Sorry, but, you know, you, you you're a very soulful writer. Well thank you. You know, I appreciate it.

Thank you. Thank you. You're touching on people. Things that people struggle with in their lives. You know, I want to I want to walk back to, we have you come to Chicago. You end up in this band Frisbee, which is named for a guy whose last name is Frisbee. And yet you're such a stickler. Are you writing songs for this band, or how does this how does that work?

00:30:59:10 - 00:31:32:39
Unknown
Because. Would you say that was so far to date? The most, successful venture or how, you know, tell us a little bit about it because I'm sure. Yeah. So, Steve Frisbee is the guy. You're you're right. You're talking about, and he and I were kind of in, part of the Chicago scene, and we were doing, a quarterly thing, at Schubert's was that it comes from, from Austin.

00:31:32:44 - 00:32:00:04

And Susan Velez had brought it up with us. Sure. And brought it up and, you know, kind of, Thomas Dunning took it over and and it was a great, collection of Chicago musicians. And, there was a kind of healthy sort of competition going on. And, and I saw Steve. Play at one of these things.

00:32:00:09 - 00:32:21:41
Unknown
And, my bandmate at the time nudged me and was like, you should produce this guy. He's really good. And, and so I introduced myself and we got along famously and, and we just had a little bit of a mutual admiration society going on. And then one day he called me and I told this story a few times because it's still I just find it so endearing.

00:32:21:46 - 00:32:47:58
Unknown
But, he was like, hey, I'm putting this band together and we need a guitar player who can do kind of. And then he just started to to vocalize these lead guitar parts, you know, like, oh, that's great. And and a very, very specific. And I couldn't have placed it at the time, but it was a very specific kind of late 70s, kind of sunburst Les Paul sort of vibe.

00:32:48:03 - 00:33:09:48
Unknown
It was really very, very specific. And, and, and he was just like singing these melodies and, and I, you know, I'm on my landline at the time. And I was like, yeah, I yeah, I can do that. And so, I remember, hanging up the phone, and talking to my girlfriend and saying,

00:33:17:17 - 00:33:18:04
Unknown
Good. Cool.

My days are too short. Cray cray. I'm messing up the day. But my night is a drunken fight in a phone booth off the interstate. If you do, you rule.
