#839 - Michael Utley Returns
The Michael Utley Returns Interview on The Paul Leslie Hour.
Are you here? What do you say we get this rolling? Oh, as the announcer I should tell you that this is The Paul Leslie Hour. It’s an interview show. Been going for 19 years. If it’s your first time: welcome. Thank you for tuning in.
So, this is a very brief interview. It’s an impromptu episode with returning guest Michael Utley. Michael Utley has been the musical director and keyboardist with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band since 1973. He’s far too humble to admit this, but he’s an authority on Jimmy Buffett. He played on every single album since A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean.
Mr. Utley also happens to be an incredibly nice man. That’s just the way it is.
So, it can be a strange thing that reunites people. In this case, Utley called Paul to comment about the country song “When the Wild Life Betrays Me,” that he co-wrote with Jimmy Buffett and Will Jennings. It appeared on Buffett’s 1984 album “Riddles in the Sand.”
Utley was just about to do a sound check. You see, the evening of this interview he was just about to take the stage with Jimmy and the band in Key West, Florida. They talk about that and a little more.
