Great interview Sean! Loved the little moment discussing Final Eyes and I'm Running....two amazing and overlooked tracks indeed. Side two of Big Generator is phenomenal. Cheers mate!
Great interview. The two of you seem to vibe well. He's a highly creative individual who shares freely and speaks so passionately about music. A unique guy.
You got to interview him again? That’s crazy! I remember you saying in the previous interview “new music from you is great however we get it.” Well it finally has come!
Love listening to Trevor's stories, especially regarding his Yes day's in the 80's and discussion about the Big Generator songs. Also, thanks for bringing up Our Song, love that song.
Another superb interview, Sean. By far the best Trevor has done around the Rio album. You kept him engaged and got him speaking about a lot of areas that no-one else has gone near. As always, great preparation and follow-through. You should be very proud. Well done!

A knowledgeable interviewer and a fantastic interviewee what a delight!
Sean, the best of all the TR Rio interviews🎸.....Thanks so much!✌️😎
Great Interwiew Sean, I am big fan of Trevor as a guitarist as well as a composer. On top of that he is such nice and humble person.

Trevor has done a plethora of interviews and all like this one have been very informative!
Outstanding, thank you both!
So great! Man, when Trev said that Steve Morse came over to his house and jammed for an hour, I thought you were gonna melt! … great job!
You got to interview him again? That’s crazy! I remember you saying in the previous interview “new music from you is great however we get it.” Well it finally has come!

Awesome chat, as always. I'm loving the album.
Great interview Sean! I agree the album is brilliant.. Thanks for posting.. :)
Thanks! What an album!
I love the Talk album 💿 it’s my favorite it just sounds so magical!
It's a kind of magic.
Another superb interview, Sean. By far the best Trevor has done around the Rio album. You kept him engaged and got him speaking about a lot of areas that no-one else has gone near. As always, great preparation and follow-through. You should be very proud. Well done!
Great interview! If you see anyone around Atlanta wearing a shirt that says "Trevor F*cking Rabin," say hi to me. 😂
Will do! You are a friend of mine!
Have been a big fan of his since the 80s. One of the most underrated musicians ever.
