S5 Ep13: Carlos Alomar on the DAM Trio

He's the man who went from Philly soul to Scary Monsters by way of Station to Station and all things Berlin - yes, it's Carlos Alomar, guitarist, songwriter, collaborator, bandleader and all round musical machine joining me on this episode for a wide ranging conversation spanning technology, working with David Bowie, James Brown, George Murray, Dennis Davis, The Monkees, Jimi Hendrix, watermelons, cherries and pineapples and much more. He even gets his guitar out and demonstrates where just a couple of those legendary licks originated from. Now, as he prepares to finally hit the road with his Dam Trilogy road show - a long-awaited celebration of the killer trio who shaped the Bowie sound in the studio and on the road from 1975 into the 1980s - I sat down with him on Zoom recently to find out how and why he, George Murray and the gang are heading out on the road - and where that road might end up.
