Don Was' musical C.V is quite simply astonishing. From his beginnings at the height of Detroit's music industry zenith, seeing Iggy Pop play his high school, his success with Was Not Was and then his jaw dropping career collaborating with some of the biggest names in the game from Willie Nelson, Ringo Star, Roy Orbison, Brian Wilson, Neil Diamon, Carly Simon and The Stones to name just a few. It's a story that has come full circle beautifully with his appointment as head of Blue Note Records in 2011 and it's one that he tells superbly by way of 3 stunning album choices. Enjoy!

If Don inspires you to go and buy one of the records he mentions (or just one from your own Recorded History) then we’d love if you supported our partners at TheRecordHub.com.
