This week we discuss The Black Keys 20-year history and do a deep dive review of their just-released album "Dropout Boogie".  There are some high points, some low points and one point that gets Kevin fired up.

Drew and Kevin also go through tasting of a couple of "new" whiskeys, too.  This week we share a couple of ryes with you that could be good options to what you might normally see on the shelf.

Here is the playlist that goes along with the show:

We also talk music with John: Chumbawamba to Slip Knot to Avett Bros.   Here is the playlist we made to go along with John being on the show:

We start out Side A of the show with Drew walking us through a blind tasting of a new bourbon.  Everyone was surprised at how good it was, especially for the money.

On Side B, we talk with Kevin Niehoff, Ryan Necci and our own Drew Crawley about their journey to breakthrough in the music industry.  It's an interesting conversation to learn how they write, record and promote their music.  

Here is the playlist with samples of their music:

This week we have a New Whiskey / New Music show.  There are some interesting connections on the new whiskey that each of us shares with you.  The new music is focused on Jack White's new album, "Fear of the Dawn".  

We cover The White Stripes to The Raconteurs to The Dead Weather to his most recent solo projects and give you our first impressions of his latest record.  We also share with you the "greatest compliment you can pay a musician" and the only proper way to categorize the songs of Jack White.

Ben takes us on a blind tasting of some Texas whiskey while we discuss the history and state of whiskey from the Republic of Texas.  

Then, we talk about that little ol' band from Texas...ZZ Top. From the very early days (before they were even called ZZ Top) to today (touring without Dusty Hill and a new live album) we cover 50-plus years of history.  

Do you have a favorite Texas whiskey?  Or a favorite ZZ Top memory?  Share it in the comments!
