Enigmatic, secretive, loudmouth, genius, egotistical maniac... this episode's artist had been called everything in the book, but he never let it stop him from reaching for the stars, whether that be lyrically dense verses, old timey gospel, stadium sing alongs, or moody synthpop. And though we could spend hours dissecting his many controversial statements and actions, today we're staying true to the music as we dive into the diverse, and ever exciting catalog of Kanye West.

Christmas songs always seem to invoke intense reactions. Some people love ‘em, some people hate ‘em. Personally, I love Christmas songs but I get burnt out hearing the same old Wham! and Mariah Carey songs year after year. We put together a playlist of songs that aren’t so worn out. From lesser known cuts by artists like Paul Simon and Vulfpeck, to classics reworked by Smokey Robinson and Otis Redding, and a few songs you’ll probably recognize from Elton John and Willie Nelson, we hope you enjoy these songs as much as we do and we wish you a safe and happy 2020 holiday.

Sturgill Simpson is one of the most enigmatic voices in today's country scene.
Refusing to be pigeonholed to a genre he's released Honky Tonk, Cosmic Country, Country Soul, Rock n Roll, and Blue Grass albums.
Hailed as one of the hero's of the current Nashville Revival, Simpson has charted a course that is uniquely his and is fighting to wrestle country music back from
the bland and uninspired Arena Country Pop music that has dominated the genre over the last decade.
Join Brendan and I as we discuss his journey and the changing direction of his discography. As always, playlists containing all the songs featured on this episode are linked to at revealingtherecords.com

STAX Records is an American record label, originally based in Memphis, Tennessee. Founded in 1957 as Satellite Records, the label changed its name to STAX Records in 1961.
