Jack Ingram's career spans over four decades and includes 18 records, 6 top #20 singles, including a #1 hit on the Country Billboard charts. Jack has taken home awards, including CMT Music Video of the year, ACM New Male Artist, ACM Song of the Year, and two Grammy nominations, including the 2022 Best Country Album, "The Marfa Tapes" (Jack Ingram I Jon Randall I Miranda Lambert). Additionally, Jack hosts the nationally syndicated "Texas Music Scene" show, a half-hour weekly program in over 70 US markets, and has won 22 Telly awards and 2 People's Choice awards. Jack has a passion for children's charities, as proved by his joint fundraising effort with legendary Coach Mack Brown and Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey (MJM). Since 2013, MJM has hosted the biggest names in music and raised nearly 20 million dollars for children's charities.
He also has hosted my Golf & Guitars Music Festival over the years, helping raise nearly a million and a half dollars to help veterans, disadvantaged youth and those with disabilities in Northern California. For that, I'll be forever grateful. This is is his (still relatively) new Jackin' Around Podcast.
This week's podcast guest is Kelly Willis.
A favorite with critics and the alt-country and Americana communities, Kelly Willis is a gifted singer and songwriter whose vocals can move from sunny clarity to passionate grit depending on the needs of the tune. Willis launched her recording career in 1990 with the album Well Travelled Love, but she first hit her creative stride with the 1999 independent release What I Deserve. Since then, Willis has carved out a comfortable niche writing and recording at her own relaxed pace, often in collaboration with her spouse, Bruce Robison (2013's Cheater's Game and 2014's Our Year), while 2002's Easy and 2007's Translated from Love were fine examples of her talent and charm.
