LA singer/songwriter Christian Lee Hutson
joins me to talk about Elliott Smith's classic
1998 album XO. We chat about how XO was Elliott's first album
produced with a major label, retrospective listening and how many
fans have hunted for hidden messages in the album's lyrics post
Elliott's suicide and how a collision of musical worlds helped
Christian bond with his Dad.
Christian tells me about an Elliott Smith tribute show he
recently contributed to, how XO gave Christian courage to get into
solo songwriting, plagiarism predicaments and we pledge to produce
an Elliott Smith tribute record performed entirely by Hank Williams
Jr.
