A great chat with Scott Galupo as we take a deep dive into Emotional Rescue—just in time for its 45th anniversary.

We explore the album’s place in the Stones’ late-70s/early-80s evolution, unpack the disco-fueled title track, revisit overlooked gems like “Down in the Hole” and “All About You,” and reflect on how the record fits between Some Girls and Tattoo You.

Hit play and join us for a fun, opinionated ride through the heatwave of Emotional Rescue.

I'm very happy to chat with author and founding member of the great band Buffalo Tom, Bill Janovitz. A fantastic musician and writer, he's written probably my favorite Stones biography: Rocks Off 50 Tracks That Tell The Story of The Rolling Stones. This is a great book that should be in every Stones fan's library.. Enjoy the chat!

Join me as I welcome back the great Anthony DeCurtis on Hang Fire!  Anthony is back to talk about various topics including what he thought of Hackney Diamonds and the greatness of the Stones' early Brian Jones era.  Rounding out those discussions are incredible stories and insights on interviewing Mick Jagger among other things.   Originally recorded in March of this year,  we make a few references to early 2024.  Hope you enjoy!

And now…Part 2 of my Inside Look into Voodoo Lounge! How does the rest of the album fair compared to the first half? Even more chances are taken in the second half but does it all come together? Many fans say the album is too long and should have been cut down to normal length yet no 2 fans can agree on what songs to cut! For now, come on in–your table is ready at the Voodoo Lounge.

Scott Galupo joins me a for a fun chat on one of our favorite Stones albums. It's about time we focused on these later albums more and here we are with a great one: Voodoo Lounge! The album turns 30 this year so it's a great time to revisit this one.

Right in time to celebrate the album's 30th anniversary let's take a trip to 1994 and take another look at Voodoo Lounge. With so many classic albums under their belt, it's understandable that a few could slip through the cracks. Voodoo Lounge is one of them. Super varied and very experimental in its own way, this album packs quite a punch. Join me as we rediscover this early 90's classic!

Legendary musician and producer, Ollie E. Brown joins Justin on a trip on his beginnings in Detroit, working with Stevie Wonder and touring with the Rolling Stones. A conversation that can't be missed!

Take a trip with me back to that unforgettable night of my very first Rolling Stones concert on March 26, 1999. It's a date I'll never forget -- I bet you still remember yours!

Do you remember your first? Maybe it's something like mine was. Enjoy this little trip down memory lane when I saw the Greatest Rock and Roll Band for the very first time. The first of many!

Bill German launched "Beggars Banquet" in 1978, a fanzine dedicated to the Stones. Within a few years, it evolved into the Stones' official fan club newsletter, connecting with fans worldwide. Next thing you know, Bill's sipping orange juice at Mick Jagger's, partying with Keith, and sharing bananas at Ronnie Wood's.

Explore his incredible journey in the must-read book, "Under Their Thumb: How a Nice Boy from Brooklyn Got Mixed Up with the Rolling Stones (and Lived to Tell About It)." Essential for any Stones fan, and Bill's chat on this episode adds an extra layer of fun—tune in and enjoy!
