    Lenny Kravitz Raises Vibes, Talks Prince, Mick Or Keith, And Jimmy, Jeff Or Eric
    Jan 13 2020
    We sat down with Lenny Kravitz to talk about his latest album Raise Vibration. How he came to create the songs on the album, one of which may or not have Michael Jackson on it (listen to find out). He spoke about how he worked in the past with MJ, and also how his experience meeting and living with Johnny Cash right after his mother died, influenced a song on this album. Lenny also spoke about the difference between the creative rush of making music, opposed to the rush of being in films such as The Hunger Games, The Butler, Precious among others. He reflected on that infamous 2017 Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony where he did a tribute to Prince, as well as stories about the recordings he had done with Prince before he passed, and the many times Prince joined him onstage over the years to jam. Really cool stories about Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Chris Cornell and more. So here’s Lenny Kravitz on the Out Of The Box Uncensored podcast.

    Nov 25 2019
    Before Dolores O’Riordan’s untimely passing, I sat down with both Dolores and Noel Hogan from The Cranberries and we spoke about their then new album "Something Else." The initial inspiration of which was around the band’s 25th anniversary, how the album came together and where it was recorded. Dolores tells a great story about the band being on the TV show The Bachelorette, and they both also spoke about coming to NYC for the very first time, where they played, and being on that first US tour, playing college campuses, and getting into trouble at hotels along the way. They reminisce and tell anecdotes about REM’s Michael Stipe, playing Woodstock 1994, Dolores’ duet with Pavarotti, and meeting Simon Lebon, The Edge, Brian Eno, and opening up for AC/DC and The Rolling Stones, and lots more.
