Bobby Whitlock and CoCo Carmel interview at AUstin Radio KGSR by Jody Denberg. Bobby summarizes his journey from Memphis to Nashville, first white to sign at Stax Records, to Delaney& Bonnie, to Eric Clapton & George Harrison, to Derek and the Dominos to Austin Texas with his wife CoCo Carmel for the launch of their new CD "Lovers". Joined on this recording by Willie Nelson, David Grissom, Eric Johnson, Stephen Bruton, Brannen Temple, and James Fenner, Bobby and CoCo weave a musical tapestry with golden threads collected during a lifetime of living the music that they write. Whitlock's
powerful voice is stronger than ever, appearing to have mellowed,becoming even richer with time. The lyrics, written mostly by Whitlock and Carmel, are very nearly embarrassing in a voyeuristic way; as if the listener is eavesdropping on a couple so much in love that they glow.
