Episode 208 features an interview with Jac Holzman who co-founded the eclectic and enigmatic record label Elektra Records in October 1950.
The now legendary label began by signing artists at the forefront of the American folk boom of the sixties, including Phil Ochs, Tom Rush and Tom Paxton. Holzman also recorded Josh White, who was without a record deal as a result of McCarthyite blacklisting.
Gradually the label went on to launch the careers of some of the most influential names in American rock including Paul Butterfield, Love, MC5, The Stooges (featuring Iggy Pop) and the Doors.
Founder Jac Holzman talks about a career littered with musical milestones and brilliant music that continues to resonate in the 21st Century. He remains one of the old school record label guys who helped shape much of the American Recording industry as we know it today
