Tony Levin

The Record Store Day Podcast with Paul Myers

Master of the bass and pioneering Stick man, Tony Levin regales us with tales from the court of King Crimson's Discipline era and more in this conversation recorded from the Beat tour (in which Levin and Adrian Belew play material from Crimson's early 1980's era in collaboration with qualified accomplices Danny Carey (Tool) on drums, and Steve Vai on guitar. But our main focus is Levin's new solo album, Bringing It Down To The Bass (Flatiron Recordings) in a far-reaching chat that gets into his entire illustrious career as a road dog and first-call session musician for the likes of Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, and more.
