Otis Gibbs is a great friend and fellow songwriter. He has a great podcast he's been doing where he talks with just about everyone you might listen to. Be sure to check out all of them. Might I suggest the Todd Snider and Billy Bragg episodes in particular. I sat down with him and quickly forgot there was a mic on the table, it's not your standard polite interview, it's more like two friends talking a little trash. You can listen in by going here:
