Mike Cooley of Drive-By Truckers, April 7, 2014I did my second interview with Drive-By Truckers singer, songwriter, and guitarist Mike Cooley when the band was touring behind its tenth studio album, English Oceans. This is one of my favourites among all the interviews I've done in the past 40-plus years because I was crazy about that album--you can hear me gushing about it throughout the conversation--and because stellar tunesmith Cooley had seriously blown me away with his contributions.

James Tiptree Jr. is really Alice Sheldon. She wrote under a male pseudonym for many years due to the male domination of science fiction at the time. Meet Me at Infinity is a great introduction to her work, as it contains both fiction and biographical pieces. She’s a tremendous writer who I found to be very inspiring. Her ability to craft impactful stories with strong female characters is amazing. The Tiptree Award is named after her. I met Octavia in 1999 at a science fiction convention.
