James Raymond: Following the Song Wherever It Goes

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the incredibly talented musician James Raymond for a wide-ranging conversation about his life, music, and creative journey. 

James Raymond is a musician, songwriter, producer, and film composer who lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

James has produced and co-written several records with his dearly departed birthfather, David Crosby, the most recent being FOR FREE. He has also written songs for David Crosby, Crosby/Nash, and CSNsometimesY and played on records by Warren Zevon and many others. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the diverse inspirations that fuel James’ work and the stories behind the music.
