Today I sit down with a fantastic musician Jose Rios guitarist for Free Nationals.

If you haven't hear the Free Nationals do yourself a favor and dig in.

Weather it be their record from 2019 or their work with the great Anderson .Paak

Its all incredible and a must listen.

Jose started playing guitar after hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan in his fathers car and that was it. He knew what he wanted to do with his life.

Jose and the band have been grinding it out in the bars and clubs for years and are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Hear his amazing story on todays episode of Let There Be Talk.

In 1976 a song came on the radio called Break Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and that was it I was hooked.

The Drummer on that track and so many other epic songs by The Heartbreakers is Stan Lynch, One of the best rock drummers of all time.

Today I sit down with Stan for a long deep dive into his amazing career. We dig into, his love of Charlie Watts, the genius of the bass playing by Howie Epstein, Working with Don Henley and even the U.S. Festival.

Stan has a brand new band called The Speaker Wars and they have a record coming out May 30th 2025 that I can't recommend enough.
