Legendary Commander Cody guitarist, singer, and songwriter Bill Kirchen has been called a “Titan of the Telecaster.” Kirchen, who headlined Austin community radio station KOOP’s recent benefit concert at Antone’s was our guest on Rag Radio. In Thorne Dreyer’s colorful profile, Kirchen — a founder of the iconic Sixties country-rock band, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen — recounts his storied career with lively (and very funny) reflections on everything from his high school classmate Iggy Pop to Austin’s iconic Armadillo World Headquarters. The post includes a link to the podcast.
