The Legend Of Shep Gordon; Warren Haynes Plays Live; A New B.B. King Doc

Soundcheck | Jun 5, 2014

In this episode: Entertainment mogul Shep Gordon has worked with all sorts of big names. But in a decades-long career in the midst of some of the world’s most famous people, he has an aversion to fame. Gordon's life is now profiled in the new film Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon, directed by Mike Myers.

Then: Guitarist Warren Haynes has lead the hard-working improvisational blues rock band Gov’t Mule for 20 years, and has played with the Allman Brothers Band for even longer. But in his recent session in the Soundcheck studio, he plays solo -- just him and electric guitar.

And: Director Jon Brewer talks about the making of the film The Life Of Riley, a new documentary portrait of blues icon B.B. King -- which includes appearances from Eric Clapton, Bono, Carlos Santana, Ronnie Wood, and others.
