The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. Sound Chaser takes a trip to Middle-Earth. On the show this time I have music inspired by the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien. No matter what one thinks about the Rings of Power series, one cannot deny that it has sparked renewed interest in all things Tolkien. So, I have collected music that is either inspired by Tolkien’s Middle-Earth literature, or comes from acts whose names are inspired by Tolkien’s Middle-Earth. There are even a few tunes that have both touchpoints. It's time for some fantasy fun. Playlist1. Styx - Lords of the Ring, from Pieces of Eight2.
