The thumping, pumping, Telecaster-driven, snare-smashing roots rock and roll of the 80's (and into the 90's) shaped my world.  Drove my inspiration for finding more of "that". Looking back, some of "that" lasted. And some of the bands and their songs went into the vault of lost rockers, and some even made it out to rock some more.  

This podcast jumps back about 10 years to when I was digging into the roots of my rock and roll, which would later be labeled alt-country and Americana. But to me, it was jangly, garage-y, sloppy-but-not-too-sloppy rock and freakin' roll. Who were those bands?  See what you might remember. Or hear a new-old discovery.  That's the thrill.  Let's listen together and see how we do.  Rock on.
