Elliot Easton Talks The Cars, Guitars, And Interesting Tours On My Latest Podcast

Elliot Easton - Episode 627

On this week’s podcast episode, Elliot Easton, guitarist for The Cars and Creedence Clearwater Revisited, takes us through his journey with the band and beyond.

Easton looks back at The Cars’ origins, from getting a label deal the old fashioned way, to connecting with famed producer Roy Thomas Baker, to recording the band’s initial albums, to how his many influences shaped his solos in the studio.

He then tells us about his time with Creedence Clearwater Revisited, and the broken tour with The New Cars where bad management sunk a potentially good thing.

Finally we talk about Elliot’s Rickenbacker 12 string and his signature Gibson Tikibird Firebird, which has become somewhat of a collectors item.

If you’ve ever enjoyed The Cars music and Elliot’s playing, you’ll love the ground that we cover in this episode.
