Hardcore Troubadour

Our Lucero correspondent Tom Sheehan is back to discuss "That Much Further West," an actual masterpiece from 2003. Just another Southern boy who dreams of nights in NYC? That's me, dawg.

The NPCs that spawn at large rock festivals. Fred Durst and John Cena: tremendous humans. Oh, and Townes Van Zandt's "High, Low, and In Between," featuring the song he was most proud of. "Heaven ain't bad but you don't get nothin' done."

Our Lucero correspondent Tom Sheehan is back and we're talking "Tennessee," the phenomenal 2002 record that put the band on the map. It's been a while since we were 19.

Tied Down Fest, Knicks in the Finals, and Townes Van Zandt's fourth studio album, recorded in NYC. What more can you ask for? Also, did you know that Jakob Dylan's dad played music too?

Our Lucero correspondent Tom Sheehan joins us to talk about Lucero's self-titled LP and the record release show where Brian became a man. "And there ain't nothin' left for me in Tennessee."

Let's talk about Townes Van Zandt's self-titled album. Not sad. Just hopeless. Text your friends and tell them you love them. RIP Bo Lueders. RIP Andy Kaufman.

Our friend Tom Sheehan is here, and we are starting our deep dive into Lucero with the Attic Tapes. Join us as we talk about growing up in Memphis, sweating your ass off, and feeling intimidated at the record store. "And there's nothin' to do but wait it out."

In this episode we discuss the life of the late great Blaze Foley through the lens of "Blaze," Ethan Hawke's 2018 film about his life. Come hang out in the tree house, we promise we won't make you listen to Good Clean Fun.

We're back and we're discussing "Our Mother The Mountain," Townes Van Zandt's second studio album and probably his goofiest release. We hate ICE. We love BD Wong and Wayne's World.

We're joined by Louisville's own Patrick Ryan (aka Moe) for a deep dive into Nebraska 82, Bruce Springsteen's recently released multi-disc set covering demos, outtakes, Electric Nebraska, a new live recording, and a remastered version of the 1982 masterpiece. Also: riding the bus, Scatman John, and building empathy for your parents. I guess there's just a meanness in this world.
