In this episode, we discuss one of the best albums for warm, sunny, Southern vibes: the Allman Brothers Band's 'Eat A Peach,' which was released 50 years ago last week! There weren't as many great albums released in 1972 as there were in 1971, so these 50th anniversary episodes will be fewer and farther between this year, but this is definitely one worth celebrating...

In this episode, we discuss Pink Floyd's 'Animals' album, released January 23, 1977. Based off of George Orwell's 1945 novella, 'Animal Farm,' it's long been a favourite of mine and is one that I find to be quite underrated by all but serious Pink Floyd fans...

In this episode, we discuss the Doors' eponymous debut album in celebration of the 55th anniversary of its January 4, 1967 release. I have a longer personal history with this album than any other and it remains one of my favourites, so it was a real joy to dive into it so deeply. My brother, Spencer Cropper, stops by to share his thoughts as well.

In this episode, the Season 3 finale, I review the last two shows — the 1973 shows — of the Grateful Dead's latest box set, 'Listen To The River: St. Louis '71 '72 '73.' We discussed the ’71 shows two weeks ago and the ’72 shows last week, so check out Episodes 75 and 76 if you haven’t already. I'm elated to finally be bringing these episodes to you, and can't think of a better way to cap off Season 3 — and the year!
