Big Yellow PodcastA Conversation With Courtney Marie AndrewsI first learned of Courtney Marie Andrews, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, via an album of Tom Waits covers called Women Sing Waits. That title speaks for itself, and Courtney does a brilliant version of “Downtown Train" on it.Personally, I love Courtney’s 2020 album Old Flowers, especially “Burlap String.” It was on repeat often during the early post-pandemic months when there still wasn’t much to do except take walks around the park. That’s all to say: I’m a fan. So it was a wonderful treat when she agreed to meet me in person at a bar in th...

Big Yellow PodcastA Conversation With Judy CollinsAs I mention in this episode, it’s possible the world may not have gotten to know Joni Mitchell the way it ultimately did without Judy Collins, who was an early champion of her work in New York’s Greenwich Village and whose covers of “Both Sides, Now,” “Chelsea Morning” and others helped put Joni in a position to continue soaring upwards.For those unfamiliar with the story: It was Judy who once got a call in the middle of the night from Al Kooper, who told her she simply must hear this new singer-songwriter. He put Joni on the...

My name is Allison Rapp and I’ll be your host as we explore the life and work of one of music’s most fascinating innovators.

Mitchell's music has made those kinds of marks on listeners since her recording debut in 1968. Her career, infiltrated at points by misogyny, misunderstanding and moments of deep, human pain, has become considered one o...
