In this episode, Ted Asregadoo and John Young dig through their music libraries to feature their top three live albums. John’s picks are pretty diverse!

Ted and John pick their Top Three solo albums from artists who left successful bands to chart their own path. John finds a former Beatle had a vault of fantastic material for his technically third solo record, an N.W.A. member redefines hip-hop on his first solo LP, and an Eagle learns to fly higher and farther than his bandmates. Ted’s pick centers on a Fugee finding creative freedom, one voice in The Sugarcubes leaves the box for new territory, and the guy who broke up The Band makes one of the most personal albums of his career.
