OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
In this episode of The Lowdown Slowdown, hosts Christian and Kurt sit down with Oklahoma singer-songwriter Beau Jennings, whose song "Cimarron River" is featured in Episode 3 of The Lowdown. Beau shares how his college friendship with creator Sterlin Harjo at OU led to the song's placement, and discusses his upcoming 20th anniversary show for his debut album I'm Haunted, I'm Alive. The conversation winds through musical influences—Dylan's chaotic genius, Tom Petty's flawless setlists, JJ Cale's laid-back grooves—and the art of grounding songs in specific places, from Lake Keystone to a Sooner Superette. Beau reflects on revisiting his younger artistic self, the joy of covers (including a ripping Woody Guthrie track), and the deep Tulsa Easter eggs that make The Lowdown so special.
