More and more, this 1950s star has become one of my favorite country artists. He had a rather flamboyant lifestyle and nasally tenor voice... it's Webb Pierce!

Today, we go over one of my favorite one-hit wonders of the 1980s... Mickey! While Toni Basil didn't have the longest of music careers, her skills in dancing and choreography make for a fascinating story.

In honor of a certain unofficial holiday today, I decided to tell the tale of this controversial tune in the psychedelic rock genre! I dive into what makes it a great song, as well as other Byrds hits like "Mr. Tambourine Man".

Today's podcast is a half-hour dedicated to one of my all-time favorite doo wop groups, The Harptones. The legend of Willie Winfield and Raoul Cita's group lives on in 2026. 

I believe this is the longest episode of PigzFromaGun I've done yet, clocking in at nearly half an hour! But when you have an artist whose background is as fascinating as Johnny Cash... there's a lot to unpack. And we've just begun diving into his legendary music.

Now this is a tune that rock radio can't get enough of... "Heart of Glass" was a big hit for Blondie, and it wasn't there only one! In this episode, we chat about all of Blondie's big successes of the late 70s and early 80s. 

Today, we continue a story we started all the way back in episode 7! Whether it be the soaring lead tenor of Clyde McPhatter, the deep bass of Bill Brown, or even the authoritative leadership of Billy Ward... the early 50s Dominoes were a very interesting R&B group. And with songs like "Have Mercy Baby", those Dominoes were simply an excellent group as well.

Today is a hauntingly beautiful late 60s country song that perfectly exemplifies the Nashville sound. That being a tune I had heard of initially from a British YouTuber I like... he introdcued me to one Glen Campbell!

Today's episode features the epic hair metal band that rocked MTV in the mid-80s, Twisted Sister!

Today's episode introduces the greatest acapella group of all time and their powerful version of this classic song from the 1920s.
