Mitchell Field, drummer, keyboardist, guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and founder of the late '70s band Hellfield, is this week's guest on Liner Notes. Mitchell talks with host Dan Hare about: starting his career as a drummer for John Lee Hooker; touring with Little River Band and Triumph; why the plug was pulled on their U.S radio play and cross-country tour; the nuts and bolts of songwriting and recording; why every woking musician needs to know the business part of music; losing friends and fellow musicians to addictions; the rigors of touring; the major event that left him homeless; his musical impersonations of Frank Sinatra, James Brown and others; hanging with rockers before they were famous, and much more.
