If you enjoyed the “true crime podcast” vibes from the Phil Spector episode, then hold onto your crime scene investigatory sunglasses… it’s another installment of Enjoy A Murder. Tejano popstar Selena Quintinilla-Perez released this LP of chicano cumbia on the cusp of megastardom, but was fatally shot by the leader of her fan club in a dingy motel room months before the follow-up record was released. Posthumously, she became a Texas legend that inspired Beyonce, Shakira, Lady Gaga and many other megastars. But is actually enjoying the dated production of Amor Prohibido the true forbidden love? Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail get into it about Ten Minute Murders, Randy Beamer, the Netflix series based on her life and death, as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Yolanda Saldivar and David Byrne. All this and more, on episode 22 of Enjoy An Album.

Modern country superstar emerges from a messy divorce with two discs of sad horny bangers, and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam WIthnail are giving it a bash this week. “The Weight of These Wings” is #480 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, but is it girlboss city or Nashville gritty? CMB and Liam talk about everything from the Texas oil crisis of the 1980s to Radiohead, the best double albums of all time, and The Marfa Tapes. Plus, Christopher challenges Liam to his latest quiz: “Who Said This Quote, Miranda Lambert or Ayn Rand?” All this and more, including another scintillating installment of Secret Posho, on episode 21 of Enjoy An Album.

Muddy Waters grew up on a Mississippi cotton plantation and sold his family’s last horse to buy a guitar. He mastered the sound of the delta while playing in illegal juke joints, then travelled north to electrify his sound and invent an entirely new genre: Chicago blues. But is “The Anthology: 1947-1972” the best way to experience his oeuvre? Rolling Stone magazine seems to think so, naming this the 483rd Greatest Album of All Time. Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail spent an entire week immersing themselves in the Mud’s career, and the hot-takes are as spicy as ever. Christopher quizzes Liam on his knowledge of pre-war blues, and the pair get into it about the Rolling Stones, Alan Lomax, Leonard Chess and the documentary-making acumen of East Aurora High School. All this and more on Episode 18 of Enjoy An Album!

Lady Gaga was the Disney villain of late-00s American pop - evil, fun, and extremely gay. But with the release of her second full-length record Born This Way in 2011, she turned babyface by infusing her queer-coded arena-pop with the patriotic nostalgia of heartland rock, the crowd-pleasing pyrotechnics of 80s sleaze metal and the self-flagelising pageantry of Roman-Catholicism. It almost worked. This week, Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail spent a solid week jamming out to what Rolling Stone magazine named the 484th Greatest Album of All Time, and the hot takes are flying off the mouth-shelves like hotcakes. As well as a particularly scintillating edition of Secret Posho, they get into about Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, the amazing/terrible album cover and United States President Joe Biden. All this and more on episode 17 of Enjoy An Album!

Richard Thompson essentially invented British folk-rock with Fairport Convention, then decided to go solo after a tragic car accident. Linda Peters was a Glaswegian university dropout who cut her teeth as a singer on advertising jingles. In 1972, they married. In 1973, they joined a commune dedicated to Sufism, a mystical and spiritual form of Islam and swore never to play music again. But then in 1974, they wrote, recorded and released what Rolling Stone magazine calls the 485th Greatest Album of All Time: “I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight” Liam and CMB listen to it and then dish out hot takes about traditional British folk music, Old Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Clan, metaphorical tightrope-walking, literal tightrope-walking, middle class anti-capitalism and Brian Emo. All this and more on episode 16 of Enjoy An Album!

John Mayer is a workman-like modern blues legend whose cromulent guitar-playing is balanced out by the insanity of his personal life. This week Liam Withnail and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd listen to his 2006 magnum opus Continuum, which Rolling Stone magazine named the 486th Greatest Album of All Time. As well as the return of Secret Posho, Liam and CMB get into it and over it on subjects such as Jimi Hendrix, Drake’s birthday party, racist penises.
