Episode 59 – Jim Diamond: Extended Interview

The Third Men Podcast is proud to present an all-new exclusive extended interview with singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and co-producer/engineer of The White Stripes eponymous debut album, Jim Diamond! As Detroit experienced its nearly-unprecedented garage rock renaissance in the ladder half of the 90's, one studio acted as the epicenter of talent and innovation among the key talents of the movement more than any other: Jim Diamond's Ghetto Recorders. If the Gold Dollar was the petri dish for Detroit's sound, Ghetto Recorders was the microscope. The Dirtbombs, The Von Bondies, The Electric Six and many more turned to Jim's studio and production abilities to bring out their best, most honest sound possible. When it was time for Jack and Meg White to put their great rock experiment to tape, The White Stripes, too, found a home at the house that Diamond built. This episode, Jim gives us the scoop on everything from his own musical beginnings, to recording the White Stripes, to bass guitar with Dirtbombs and SO much more! We here at the Third Men podcast would like to thank Jim for dropping in to the show– it was a pleasure interviewing him and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!
