This week’s guest curators are Dan Dissinger & Manny Coelho from The Nostalgia Test, and we're crafting a playlist centered around one powerful theme: nostalgia (quite fitting, wouldn't you say?).

But here’s the twist—we’re not just picking songs we personally feel nostalgic for. Instead, we’re curating tracks that are specifically about nostalgia itself—songs that reflect on past times, places, people, and memories (yes, even something as simple as a photograph...get it?). If you love music that tugs at the heartstrings and captures the bittersweet feeling of looking back, this episode is for you.

In this Album Dive episode, I’m joined by singer-songwriter ZZ Ward to explore the stories behind every track on her new EP Mother, released on the iconic Sun Records label. This EP includes songs that will appear on her upcoming Liberation album, as well reinterpretations of two songs originally recorded for her Til The Casket Drops album: "Put The Gun Down" and "Lil Darlin."

Tour, and her exclusive Record Store Day guitar pick-shaped vinyl single featuring “Put The Gun Down (Dirty Sun Version)” and “Cadillac Man."

This week, I’m joined by guest curator and musical powerhouse Emily Wolfe to build a playlist spotlighting the best female rock artists and bands of the 1990s. From grunge to alt-rock, we’re celebrating the women who defined a decade of powerful music.

Also in this episode: we dive deep into Emily’s 2023 album The Blowback—discussing why she chose to self-produce the record, how she pushes lyrical boundaries on tracks like “Walk In My Shoes,” and the role her extensive guitar and gear collection plays in shaping her signature sound. We also talk about her cover of ’Til Tuesday’s “Voices Carry" & her time on tour with The Gaslight Anthem, and how their musical paths align.
