Episode 34 with Julian Coryell

My guest today is Julian Coryell. As those of you who are regular listeners probably know by know, I usually feature guests that I have some sort of prior working relationship or friendship with- I find it helps keep the show more intimate and honest. Out of all the guests that I’ve had on The Riff Raff to date I think I’ve known Julian the longest; we go back to the early 90’s when both of us were hired as young gun clinicians for Ovation and Hamer guitars and met in Connecticut where we stayed for a week. And although we lost touch for a while, we’ve remained friends ever since.

It goes without saying that Julian is a super talented and gifted guitarist, vocalist and a total musician. This is not surprising since his father Larry Coryell was one of (if not the) founding father of fusion guitar, and it’s in the DNA.

He has performed and recorded/toured with Alanis Morisette (his current gig), Blood Sweat and Tears (also a current gig), Madeleine Peyroux, Leonard Cohen, Aimee Man, Carole King and many, many others.

I got together with Julian in beautiful Venice Beach, California at his studio and sat down to catch up on good times both old and new. This one features some insight into the music business by Julian as well as some great playing concepts and ideas. Hope you enjoy!!
