On Music Junkies, we had the pleasure of hosting JP Lane, author of The Driftwood Tour, who shared his fascinating journey of weaving a 200-song playlist into his debut novel. Our conversation takes you through the protagonist's struggle to remember his music and the unexpected source that helps him relearn his songs, as well as a hilarious tale involving Stevie Nicks' song 'Just Like the White Winged Dove Sings.'
We also delved into JP Lane's diverse musical influences and how they shaped his novel – from Pink Floyd and Kiss to Dolly Parton. You'll hear about creative ways music was incorporated into The Driftwood Tour, like a home economics teacher sewing a coat to the rhythm of a song.

Lastly, we touch on the challenges of portraying musicians on screen, the potential of Selena's career if not tragically cut short, and the inspiring story of Tina Turner.
