Guess That Record

Guess That Record is a podcast hosted by Canadian musician Jackson Reed. Each week Jackson will sit down with a special guest for an in-depth interview about their career and experiences. Then, the guest will have to guess which album Jackson pulled from his collection, leading to a discussion about the record. A show for anyone that’s a fan of music, Guess That Record will be posting new episodes on Wednesdays!

Guess That Record returns with Jackson interviewing Pete Muller! After achieving success in quantitative finance, he found himself yearning to fulfill his creative urges. Balancing fatherhood, marriage, and running a company, he continued to write and perform – eventually releasing a series of albums that would lead to dates with the likes of John Oates, Lisa Loeb, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Taylor, and Paul Thorn, along with festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux. In this interview, Jackson and Pete talk about how he started recording his own music, how he saved the famous Power Station studio, and his new album “One Last Dance.”
