    In this super special edition of SHEROES, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and bass legend, Gail Ann Dorsey sits down with Carmel Holt for a career-spanning conversation featuring the music that shaped her, and spotlighting some fellow SHEROES of the bass who Gail encountered along the way. For those unfamiliar with Gail Ann Dorsey’s resume, not only has she put out albums of her own starting with 1988’s The Corporate World, she also became a sought after session player, collaborator, and touring bassist, and became known as one of the world’s greatest bass players. Gail has worked with everyone from Tears for Fears, Gang of Four, Bryan Ferry, Gwen Stefani, Indigo Girls, and Lenny Kravitz. And perhaps most notably, she spent over a decade playing bass and singing in David Bowie’s touring band, and contributed to several of his studio albums. Currently Gail is readying her first solo work in 21 years, and the follow up to her 2004 album I Used To Be… and prepping for a 2026 solo tour.

To celebrate the new live album as well as the announcement of an upcoming tour in June followed by a limited run of dates with Rhiannon Giddens, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Mavis Staples - not to mention lighting some belated birthday candles for Alynda’s 40th on February 26th, we are revisiting this 2024 conversation with Alynda which details some of the stories that they share as memoir-style songs on The Past Is Still Alive and how the songs and recording of the album suddenly took on a whole new meaning following the unexpected passing of their father.
