Chad Cromwell (Neil Young, Bonnie Rait, Trisha Yearwood)

Chad Cromwell is one of the most in-demand session and touring drummers of the last four decades. Growing up in Memphis, the soul and groove of Stax Records got deep into his DNA early. He's recorded and toured with Neil Young, Mark Knopfler, Joe Walsh, Bonnie Raitt, and Crosby, Stills & Nash, while also racking up hits in Nashville with Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, and Brooks & Dunn. A career highlight: playing "A Day in the Life" with Neil Young and Paul McCartney at Hyde Park in London. Rolling Stone called him an "Unknown Legend" — a master of the craft, and exactly the kind of guest we love having on this show.
