He's a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, one of Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists," and at 85 years old, he's still riding motorcycles, producing his own CBD oil, and regularly has more gigs on the books than most musicians half his age. We sat down with the great Jorma Kaukonen for the latest episode of The Load Out Music Podcast, covering the entire span of his unbelievable career—from his father's initial dismissal of his musical ambitions to the "you suck" teaching method of his first fingerstyle mentor. Jorma shares the inside story of how he casually named Jefferson Airplane, what it was like playing Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont, and the secret to sustaining his 55-year partnership with bassist Jack Casady in Hot Tuna. We also discussed his recent archival album, Wabash Avenue, and what it was like to hear his 24-year-old self playing on a tape he thought was lost forever. This was a truly special conversation.
