DISCovery with Eric Senich

There’s no underestimating the influence blues music has had on many of the classic rock artists we love to listen to and Muddy Waters is at the top of the list.

In this episode we’ll get into Muddy’s incredible journey that started out as a Mississippi plantation worker and ended with him becoming one of the most influential musicians of all time. We’ll also talk about the effect his music had on rock and roll, particularly the artists and bands that emerged in the 1960s.

Additional music in this episode: "Brain" by Lobo Loco (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lobo_Loco)

Author Greg Prato stops by the DISCovery podcast to talk about his recent book "Take It Off: Kiss Truly Unmasked". There are several books on KISS out there but none cover the non-makeup era of the band between 1986-1996 like this must-read book.

Greg talks all things KISS from the 80s and mid 90s while sharing some stories only told in his book. It was a Crazy, Crazy time for the band who had to scrap and claw their way back from near extinction by the end of the 70s and Greg takes us along for the ride.

Super Bowl weekend is here! It's time to revisit the best of the best halftime performances from classic rock artists and, no, even though Janet Jackson is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame neither she nor her exposed breast will make an appearance on this list.

Ten performances in all between 1997 and 2014 and only one takes home the coveted DISCovery trophy which, unfortunately, is made of tinfoil. We ave a small budget folks. An honor nonetheless.
