The New Slang Podcast
New Slang is (mostly) an interview-based podcast hosted by music journalist Thomas Mooney. For the most part, it’s an hour-long conversation with singer-songwriters, musicians, and bands within the Americana, country, folk, and rock realms. We discuss influences, albums, songwriting, and all things within that artist’s life. Thomas Mooney has been published in the likes of Texas Monthly, Rolling Stone Country, Lone Star Music Magazine, Texas Music Magazine, Wide Open Country, and several other music publications.
On Episode 168, I’m joined by rising Texas singer-songwriter Mason Lively. At the end of the week (March 19), he’s releasing his sophomore album, the rich and robust Mason Lively. During this one, we talk about working with Wade Bowen and Justin Pollard (who co-produced the effort), writing songs in Nashville, maturing and taking notes from established writers, recording Mason Lively, his first concert experiences, and some of our favorite country bands from the ’90s and early ’00s.
