Part 1 covers 13 musicians who have primarily made a living in the recording studio. Part 2 celebrates the life of Neal Casal. And Part 3 features 10 “wizards” who have had extensive solo careers or worked largely in established bands.The Cats tell little stories, muse about life, uncover aspects of the music business, dig deep into overcoming adversity, revel in camaraderie, and open their souls. You will never see musicians in the same light again....
