April 15, 2016 Ep. 60 - Let there be drums!
In tribute to Dad Rock house band Night Streets — and specifically our friend Bobby Padavick, the group's drummer — we discuss some great, but possibly overlooked, drummers in music.
Everyone knows about John Bonham, Keith Moon, Neal Peart, Ringo Starr, Ginger Baker and Stewart Copeland. But do you know about Danny Carey, Todd Trainer, George Hurley and Clyde Stubblefield? These are a few of our favorites ...

April 07, 2016 Bonus Track - Get to know Luther Dickinson
While on our Dad Rock Road Trip, we had the great pleasure to happen upon a Luther Dickinson concert in Asheville, N.C. And Luther, an acclaimed roots musician best known for his work in the North Mississippi Allstars, was kind enough to grant us an impromptu interview before the show.
Here are some excerpts from that conversation (including an entertaining anecdote about the Replacements).

April 06, 2016 Bonus Track - Merle Haggard's legacy
Music legend Merle Haggard has died at age 79. A country legend who should be appreciated for capturing the struggles of the American workingman in his songs, Haggard's influence was also key to the rise of the alt-country/Americana subgenre.

April 01, 2016 Ep. 58 - Inside Jack White's Third Man Records
Jack White's Third Man Records in Nashville is a place of many musical wonders. We got a behind-the-scenes tour (no cameras allowed) from Ben Blackwell, who helps run the label/store for his uncle Jack. Besides sharing what makes this place so special, Ben talks about his love of the Stooges, his massive personal record collection and how Third Man is introducing kids to the music business.
And ... we spin some real vinyl records on the show.
You can also watch a video of the Dad Rock hosts checking out the Third Man front of store at dadrock.usatoday.com
