And in this interview, we get two hear about her TWO new CDs, <a href=\"http:\/\/nancycassidymusic.com\/new\/index.php\/store\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Song of Joy&#8221;<\/a> and &#8220;Memphis&#8221;. Nancy&#8217;s a California native, and her ties with the land &#8211; she was raised on a dairy and spent many years as a river rafting guide &#8211; show in her music. Her <a href=\"http:\/\/nancycassidymusic.com\/new\/index.php\/kids-music\">KidSongs CDs<\/a> have gone gold. Bruce Springsteen even recorded her song <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nJMrU0scAN0\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Lizard Lips and Chicken Hips&#8221;<\/a> for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/For-Our-Children-Anniversary-Edition\/dp\/B00001WRKW\" target=\"_blank\">Pediatric AIDS<\/a> benefit CD, which sorta gives her more cred than almost anyone else who&#8217;s been on &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221;. She&#8217;s also popular Americana songwriter. Nancy receives international airplay, though you&#8217;ve also likely heard her locally on <a href=\"kpig.com\" target=\"_blank\">KPIG<\/a> radio. <\/p>\n<p>She was working with songwriter\/producer Keith Greeninger last year on &#8220;Memphis&#8221; when the illness of a close friend inspired her to write all the songs for &#8220;Song of Joy&#8221;. &#8220;Memphis&#8221; was put on hold, she finished the newer record, and then completed &#8220;Memphis&#8221; this Spring. <\/p>\n<p>Nancy played a release show at our Corralitos Music Series last fall. It was full-band show featuring lots of local favorites who played on both records: Keith, <a href=\"dayankai.com\" target=\"_blank\">Dayan Kai<\/a>, <a href=\"steveuccello.com\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Uccello<\/a>. Still, I wanted to hear more about this special CD. She and I got together around my kitchen table &#8211; as many of these podcasts go &#8211; a couple of months later to discuss both records, her songwriting process, and what it&#8217;s like to have one one record &#8220;play out&#8221; its newness as you&#8217;re waiting with another completed one in the wings. <\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewPodcast%253Fid%253D216646993\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/subscribe-with-itunes.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fsongs-and-stories-125-nancy-cassidys-song-of-joy%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here to listen to Nancy Cassidy&#8217;s interview (time = 49:37) When it comes to gathering podcast interviews from local [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-podcast"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4513"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5118,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4513\/revisions\/5118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
