On very rare occasions when conducting a podcast interview you can tell as a host that the joy you're getting talking to a particular artist will be felt and equaled by the listening audience. This interview with hip hop superstar X-Raided is one of those rare occasions.

A fascinating man who neither hides from his past, nor is held prisoner by it, most individuals would be bitter at the unfair justice system which took so many years away from them, but X-Raided is beyond that, finding joy and gratitude in where he is today, And today, he is dropping some of the best, most beautiful and powerful music of his genre, most recently with the release of his latest album A Sin in Heaven. Check it out!

Midge Ure is on the We Talk Music and it's a great interview. We talk with him in depth about his tour plans, artistic process, and history in the music industry. Ut's great stuff so check it out.

An argument can be made that Pat Travers Is the greatest guitarist to ever hail from Canada, so when he became available to talk to regarding the new Cactus album his friend Carmine Appice put together that he played on called Temple of Blues We Talk Music jumped at a chance for a chat. Enjoy!

Carmine Appice has had a massive influence on the music industry, and one of the ways he's made that influence is with his hard rock band Cactus.

Originally formed in 1969, many of the best in the rock business were Cactus fans, so getting people like Joe Bonamassa, Pat Travers, Warren Haynes, Vernon Reid, Ted Nugent and others to join him on a new album for the group was a natural, and led to Temple of Blues, available to purchase now!

You could make a serious argument that Ron Keel has taken the mantle of hardest working man in show business from the late, great James Brown. The Metal Cowboy is an active touring singer for the Ron Keel Band, a show host for KRFK Radio, and runs his own record label in RFK Media. In addition he's somehow managed to find time to record a new album called Keelworld, which is available for pre order now. Give the show a listen and find out what's going on in Ron Keel's world and make sure to check out Ron's Patreon for more good stuff.

Check it out and you'll be Believerz too!
