Season 5, Episode 48: Remembering the ”Washita Love Child” Jesse Ed Davis

Those who have been paying attention might have noticed a recent movement in the cultural zeitgeist in remembrance of the great life and career of Norman-born musician Jesse Ed Davis. A good portion of those new attention paid toward a historically under-appreciated talent comes to use due to the work of historian and author Douglas Miller, whose book Washita Love Child: The Rise of Indigenous Rock Star Jesse Ed Davis is available for purchase now. Miller joins this week's episode of the podcast to talk about the immense musical legacy Davis left behind—having worked alongside the likes of Leon Russell, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and more—and the many coming tributes to JED which include tribute concerts, a new archival record of unissued songs, and an exhibition at the Bob Dylan Center curated by Joy Harjo.

Also on this week's episode, the editors discuss their ideal Thanksgiving dessert plate, and podvents lets us know where we can have an extravagant Thanksgiving meal without having to do any dishes afterwards. You won't want to miss it!
