Testing Cameron Crowe’s Music Knowledge | The Track Star Podcast

Video Description

The Track Star Podcast continues with a deep dive into the life and work of Cameron Crowe, the filmmaker, journalist, and rock reporter whose stories shaped how generations understand music and culture. From getting his first Rolling Stone cover story at 16, to going on the road with Led Zeppelin, the Allman Brothers, and the Eagles, to turning those experiences into Almost Famous, Crowe walks us through the moments that defined his career. Along the way he reflects on the artists who shaped his worldview, including David Bowie, Tom Petty, and Joni Mitchell, and on the writers and mentors, like Lester Bangs, who helped him find his voice. Crowe also opens up about the upcoming Joni Mitchell film he’s been developing with Joni herself through years of weekly Monday-night sessions, digging through her archives, instruments, and stories to tell her life “warts and all.” This Episode’s Tracklist 00:00 - Intro 06:05 - “Whipping Post” - The Allman Brothers Band 12:35 - “Houses of the Holy” - Led Zeppelin 15:23 - “I’ve Seen All Good People” - Yes 17:56 - “Coyote” - Joni Mitchell 26:51 - “Hotel California” - Eagles 34:45 - “Don’t Do Me Like That” - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 39:58 - “Golden Years” - David Bowie 47:36 - “Sign of the Times” - Harry Styles 50:02 - “Alabama” - Neil Young Listen to our extended playlist for this episode: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6rgXTjMrq0fmGnOLEHwj5k?si=918237cfec9e41ea Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/the-track-star-podcast-episode-10/pl.u-DdANNaNF0G27G0Z YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJwfZsOZW3kWHbfDPlpAXai-K4A9ndQVs&si=xjwD-2dWOMozmU-v New episodes of The Track Star Podcast drop every Wednesday on all podcast platforms.
