The Songwriter's Way: A Podcast by Jake Shane

Episode 1: Songwriting, Theft, & Haiku

In this inaugural episode of “The Songwriter’s Way” podcast, I discuss Basho, a 17th century haiku master, his influence on my songwriting, and how the principles of haiku can be applied to all art. I also talk about the tradition and importance of borrowing in art, and how originality is not the goal of the artist.

Episode 2: Developing A Style

With a focus on finding one’s own voice, I talk about Derek Trucks, pre-war blues, slide guitar, transcription, and the artist’s development of style.
