I wanted to let you know that there is 40-minute podcast with Dave Alvin on a show called the Soul of California, in which he discusses his work with his brother Phil, the influence of Big Bill Bronzy and Big Joe Turner, his songwriting and recording styles, his relationship with Chris Gaffney and sneaking into LA's Ashgrove club as a kid.
He is a great interview - touching, funny and very personal. Enjoy, available as a free download on iTunes here:
