Rock in Retrospect

Interview with John Wood (Producer of The Session Man: Nicky Hopkins)

Nick Bambach Season 5 Episode 121

Film producer John Wood joins Nick to talk about his documentary The Session Man (2023), which is about the career of rock-and-roll pianist and organist Nicky Hopkins. We talk about Hopkins' pending induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year, the making of The Session Man, and our favorite songs that Hopkins played on.

Hopkins has worked so many legendary artists including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Cat Stevens, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, Carly Simon, and so many others.
