We literally flipped and recorded the track within a couple of hours and out came this gem. He’s such an incredible musical force and plays almost every instrument. For my cover of “Real Wild Child” by Iggy Pop I worked with Grammy-winning producer Sam Barsh. It’s honestly when some of the best music was created, in my opinion. I’d say that inspiration from the late 60s/early 70s, in general, is consistent throughout my overall sound. Nancy Sinatra is such an icon and I’ve always listened to her music. Were you always a fan of Nancy’s music, or did that grow stronger when you moved to California? The song could have been a track from Roger Corman’s 1966 film “The Wild Angels” starring Nancy and Peter Fonda. Your song “Real Wild Child” is a cover of a 1986 Iggy Pop song, but it feels like a tribute to Nancy Sinatra’s mid-Sixties songs. You’ll be dazzled by the musical/visual world she creates. The newest addition to the pantheon is Skylet Gunner. Over the years, there have been plenty of artists who have shown both musical and visual greatness: Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Lady Gaga. If you play Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” and Skylet’s “Confessions” back to back, you’d swear they were Joshua Tree twins separated at birth. The video for her song “Confessions Of A Murdered Heart” was shot in Joshua Tree – a trippy desert locale that mesmerized Gram Parsons, U2 and countless other musical greats. Skylet is a native New Yorker, but once she discovered the California desert there’s been no turning back. Skylet’s vocal on the song is one of the best things I’ve heard all year – and her latest single “Leave You Lonely” has an ultra-hooky chorus that you can’t get out of your head. Her new video “Real Wild Child” is a cover of a 1986 Iggy Pop song, but it would have fit nicely in mid-Sixties’ biker movies where soon-to-be-superstars like Al Kooper and Stephen Stills cut loose on the soundtrack. Some artists have a “brand.” Others rely on brilliance.
