January 12, 2023 Album Review: Something Good by Slowfoot
Season 2: Episode 2
For their first album review, Jeff and Ryan selected Slowfoot's debut album
Something Good. This debut album has something good to listen to from beginning to end for anybody who enjoys classic rock tunes with blues infusion. It has a refreshing sound with the distinct vintage Hammond organ that connects us back to songs from the late 60s and early 70s. Slowfoot takes some of those older style sounds and brings them to life by adding their unique flavor, ever changing melodies, and modern lyrics. Listen to the episode and read the blog post to understand their perspective on the album.

December 22, 2022 Chis Cranick
Season 1: Episode 11
Chris Cranick joined us for a lengthy discussion about his solo project and band, Overdrive Orchestra. He took us through the journey of the band since its inception a decade ago. While on that journey, he told us about his leap into his solo work that allowed him to pursue making music with a slightly different flavor that did not quite fit the band's sound. We bounced around several other topics in the discussion including an interesting discussion around the meaning of his first solo album name, Nostalgia is Killing Us. Sit back and relax as you listen to our discussion with Chris followed by Ryan and Jeff closing out the episode with a few different topics including Metallica and upcoming concerts.
