Kyle Meredith With...

Gerry Beckley still has a lot in the vault, and Merciful proves it. The America co-founder talks with Kyle Meredith about stepping away from touring after 50-plus years, splitting time between Los Angeles and Sydney, and finally having the space to write, record, and chase ideas without getting off a plane every other day. Beckley digs into reworking “Monster,” covering The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” with Graham Nash, the Henry Diltz story behind “All the Wounded Cowboys,” and why melody, melancholy, and a little light-dark chemistry are still at the center of what he does.Listen to Gerry Beckley chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Del the Funky Homosapien talks with Kyle Meredith across two eras, first with Dan the Automator as Deltron 3030 in 2014 and then solo in 2018 around Gate 13 with Amp Live. Del and Dan get into why Deltron feels political without chasing headlines, how sci-fi works best when it’s really talking about right now, and why disposable music has made longevity feel like its own rebellion. Del also digs into recovering after his Gorillaz stage fall, using battle rap as creative fuel, showing up in Jonah Hill’s Mid90s, and why he’s less interested in nostalgia than figuring out what comes next.Listen to Del the Funky Homosapien chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.

Derek Trucks joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the Tedeschi Trucks Band’s new album Future Soul, a record he says captures the group feeling “present and current” while also hitting a new creative stride. He gets into working with producer Mike Elizondo to shape a more aggressive, forward-leaning sound, how songs like “Hero” tap into the band’s punk and grunge instincts, and why the title track demanded a guitar tone that felt like it might fall apart mid-take. Trucks also talks about writing after years back on the road post-pandemic, trimming down from a potential double album, and learning to serve the song even within a 12-piece lineup. Along the way, he reflects on rediscovering the joy of recording, surprising himself in the studio, and the full-circle moment of opening for the Eagles decades after first crossing paths with Joe Walsh.Listen to Derek Trucks chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube.
