January 22, 2021 Ep 36 - Quick Pick 6 #2
It’s been hectic around here this week and instead of phoning in a half assed version of a regular #EveryPlaylistTellsAStory episode, we present a second Quick Pick 6. Friend of the show JR “The Handler” suggested a ZZ Top song a while back that makes the cut as well as Andrew WK, Goodbye June, Deftones, Pulp and Southern Culture On The Skids. Give them a listen and maybe find something to add to your regular rotation. We also talk a little about funerals, haunting loved ones and dirt track racing.
If you have a song you’d like us to talk about in a future Quick Pick 6 episode, send it to us at [email protected]

January 15, 2021 Ep 35 - Covers & Ween
Strap yourself in for this the #EveryPlaylistTellsAStory podcast episode 35. Is that a bell ringing in the distance because School Is In Session! Aside from playing some catch up, Jimmy delivers 5 songs that he didn’t know were covers and Todd reveals the album that inspired him maybe more than any other record in his collection. And probably most interesting is we are introduced to Boudleux and Felice Bryant. I’m still in amazement of their story.

January 08, 2021 Ep 34 - On Location at Doc's / INXS, The Smiths & Queen
This week #EveryPlaylistTellsAStory podcast goes on location to Doc's Sports Bar in Evansville to visit with our buddy Cory “Mayday” Edwards. We spend time chatting road stories, movies, and songs by INXS, The Smiths and Queen from the stage at his bar. The lunch crowd didn’t seem to care but it was a good time having him join Jimmy and Todd for this episode. And Cory poses the question “Is there a song that you thought was performed by an artist that wasn’t?” Let us know at [email protected]

#EveryPlaylistTellsAStory this week brings you more TicTok finds, a brief Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recap, things Jimmy prays for, another Christmas classic to add to your playlist, and we dig into the songs “Blues Hand Me Down” by @VintageTrouble and “I Am A Viking” by @YngwieMalmsteen.
