Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925"},"episode":{"title":"Turning Down Waylon Jennings: Alison Prestwood’s Nashville Origin Story","slug":"turning-down-waylon-jennings-alison-prestwood-s-nashville-origin-story","published_at":"2026-01-12T23:56:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925/turning-down-waylon-jennings-alison-prestwood-s-nashville-origin-story","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN9120742056.mp3?updated=1768262678","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN9120742056.mp3?updated=1768262678","summary":"Nashville bassist Alison Prestwood joins Blake for a deep-dive hang that zig-zags through the kind of career that only makes sense in hindsight: a near-miss with Waylon Jennings, a pivotal run with Rodney Crowell, getting the call to jump in with Patti Loveless on a few days’ notice, and why saying “no” at the wrong time can still be the right move. They talk shop on what it really takes to break in today (attitude, reputation, the bus factor, and yes… learn the number system), plus why studio work still has that magic when a whole band builds something together in real time. Also: a midlife detour into law school and practicing as an attorney before returning to music full-time, and a proper gear spiral, including her 1973 P-bass, vintage favorites, and why touring with Peter Frampton can actually be safer for great instruments than leaving them at home.
