Tiny Habits on James Taylor, Tour Stories and 70s Vocal Production 🎸 — The Spark Parade

Indie-folk trio Tiny Habits (Judah Mayowa, Maya Rae and Cinya Khan) join host Adam Unze for the mini-season finale of The Spark Parade!

The group shares the story behind their Spark: James Taylor’s 1976 classic album, In the Pocket, featuring iconic tracks like "Shower the People" and "Woman’s Gotta Have It".

Together, Adam and Tiny Habits break down:

What it was like spending a summer touring with James Taylor and listening to his music on his tour plane
The hilarious (and surprisingly candid) career advice James gave them about record labels
The warm analogue sonics, tape hiss and vocal arrangements of 1970s studio production
How James Taylor's vocal phrasing directly inspired the arrangements on their debut album All Is Yes
The emotional power of music that connects across generations

Check out Tiny Habits' fantastic new sophomore album Keepers!
