Stone Temple Pilots’ RobertDe Leo on Americana Sounds, Gordon Lightfoot, & Fishing

<p>Robert De Leo catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about his debut solo album, <em>Lessons Learned</em>, and how it ended up as an acoustic album with multiple vocalists. The <a href="https://consequence.net/artist/stone-temple-pilots/" rel="nofollow">Stone Temple Pilots</a> bassist and main songwriter discusses the influence of 70s artists like Paul Simon, John Denver, and Gordon Lightfoot (who he’ll be covering on a pair of singles to be released soon), the way songs change with different styles (“&#39;Interstate Love Song&#39; started as a bossa nova”), and having Gary Wright sing backup. De Leo also talks about his love of nature and how “touring is just an excuse to go fishing.”</p><p>Listen to the latest episode of the <a href="https://consequence.net/category/kyle-meredith-with/" rel="nofollow"><em>Kyle Meredith With…</em></a> podcast now or watch the chat via <a href="https://consequence.net/2022/11/robert-deleo-lessons-learned-stone-temple-pilots-podcast" rel="nofollow"><em>Consequence</em></a>.
