PLEASE REVIEW at ratethispodcast.com/atv
One Soul Thrust – aka 1ST – is a pure rock band based in western Canada. The lead singer/ songwriter/force to be reckoned with is SALEM JONES. She has one of the best female voices in rock – period… so good that Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes recorded a rare duet with her. She’s also a warrior in the purest sense of the word. Listen to the interview as I ask Salem about her real life as Empress of Rock.
Points of Discussion:
- How & why Salem came to choose the rock genre for her life and her work.
- Working with the band and her partner Jag
- She explains how ‘This band’s work is elemental. It comes from the bones; it goes back to the bones. With fire & pay-dirt…And the kind of endurance that only That Which is Real can ever have.’
- She tells me about connecting and working with her renown producer Alessandro Del Veccio
- We talk about doing her duet with Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, and I play a clip of the song ‘Go Home and Melt’.
- She tells me about Paul Rogers of Bad Company asking her to join him on stage.
- We discuss the making of her 4th (new) album ‘Slaves to the Sky, Masters to the Mess’, which was released first on vinyl.
- I ask her about what it means to be a life-long rocker, and a woman warrior living an excellent life.
