Rev. Shawn Amos and The Secret Sisters
Episode 283: It\u2019s a split episode this week featuring a renaissance man of roots music from a \u201cfamous\u201d background and a duo from Alabama who\u2019ve been on a wild career ride since they were first discovered by producers T Bone Burnett and Dave Cobb. We start with Rev. Shawn Amos, who grew up in Los Angeles with his dad Wally, founder of Famous Amos cookies. Since launching in music, Shawn\u2019s been a shape shifting songwriter and performer, a historic A&R executive, an entrepreneur and more. His latest Soul Brother No. 1 casts him in yet another new light. And I check in by Zoom with Lydia and Laura, the magnificent Secret Sisters. On their newest, Mind, Man, Medicine, they took full advantage of the historic recording studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, just down the road from where they live. It\u2019s yet another triumph.
