AUDIO: The Motels' Martha Davis (2001)

Steve Roeser, Rock's Backpages audio, 1 February 2001

Martha talks about how she maintains a musical career, then looks back on her influences, from folk through soul and the Beatles to Bowie; on the pre-Motels Warfield Foxes moving from San Francisco to L.A. and creating their own scene; on her mother's death and raising her two daughters; on (re)forming the Motels with Jeff Jourard and signing to Capitol; and on putting together the new Anthologyland compilation.
