E39: Curtis, Blow Me Your Trumpet (Curtis Watson Interview)

About this episode

An interview with Curtis Watson, the trumpet player for Counting Crows, discussing his contributions to the band's music and history.

Curtis Watson played trumpet on three Counting Crows tracks: Palisades Park, Angel of 14th Street, and the legendary Chelsea (but not Carriage); culminating in a shout out from Adam on "From A-->Z"". He also spent a LOT of time with Adam and the band during their "formative years' (around the time of Satellites). Another fun and special episode where we get to interview the Crows' (official?) trumpet player---Curtis Watson!
