NEW EPISODE!

Nick interviews John Wood who produced the documentary 'The Session Man' that focuses on the career of 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Nicky Hopkins. We talk about the movie's production, Hopkins' pending Rock Hall induction, and cap it off with our favorite songs that Hopkins played on.

You might not know the name, but Hopkins was one of the most sought-after pianists and organists of the rock and roll era. For decades, he played with legendary artists that included The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, Yusuf / Cat Stevens, Joe Cocker, Peter Frampton and so many others. Hopkins is truly one of the unsung musical geniuses of his time.
