The SongBook Series Podcast Episode 2: The Legend of Harvest Queen



The SongBook Series Podcast covers the wide musical spectrum of Johnny Hickman and Chris LeRoy (& Friends)

SongBook Series Podcast 2 compares HARVEST QUEEN with its original demo, HAUNTED. MORST taped the interview with studio engineer Maria Baglien at Lo-Fi Studios 9/9/07 one day after the Cracker/ Camper Campout III in Pioneertown CA. Chris LeRoy discusses both songs.

This Halloween special will be of interest to those Cracker fans who want to see a bit behind the songwriting and song morphing of Johnny Hickman and Chris LeRoy. In fact, to this point, Harvest Queen is the only song co-written by LeRoy, Hickman and David Lowery.
