What Are You Listening To

Today we are talking about - John Mayer. I’m not going to go after his entire catalog, I’m here to discuss just one of his records: the search for everything. I believe this is a highly underrated record and I’m gonna have a great time explaining why.

Today we are talking about Ben Rector

I’ve been a fan of Ben’s for many years now. I’ve been a little hesitant to dive into his music on the podcast, but after his much anticipated release ‘the joy of music,’ I could not resist a full episode on him.

Jason is a singer songwriter from Alabama. I firmly believe he’s one of the greatest songwriters to ever walk the earth. Jason and his band, ‘the four hundred unit.’ Released their newest record called ‘reunions.’ Jason has been a long time favorite of mine and I’m excited to talk about his music with you.

What Are You Listening To: Chris Stapleton Today we are talking about Chris Stapleton

A few months ago Chris Stapleton started releasing singles for his new record ‘starting over.’ It’s been 3 years since we’ve had a record from Chris. I had planned to release this Stapleton episode before it came out. I’m glad I waited. His new record is out and available everywhere. I must admit that at first I thought this was a bit of a mediocre release for him but after a few listens through, this may be my favorite Stapleton record. I’m going to give you my take on Chris Stapleton minus this new record and at the end I’ll share with you some of my favorites and highlights from ‘starting over’.

Hello and welcome to what are you listening to. The show where we talk about good music or at least music we think is good.

Today we are doing a short episode to talk about a single song.

Ben Rector released a new single. It’s an acoustic version of his last single called ‘it would be you.’ Not only is this an acoustic version but it’s also a duet with Ingrid Michaelson. I’ve not yet done episodes on either of these artists. That’s certainly in the cards down the road.

Rector released the original version of this song back towards the beginning of this pandemic. It’s about the world ending and all of us being stuck somewhere with just one person. It’s really a love song of sorts.

Hello and welcome to what are you listening to.

Today we are talking about - Eric Church

I could honestly do a podcast on each one of Church’s records.

Eric has released a few singles from his upcoming record so I figured it’s a great time to talk about why you should listen. Eric is a modernHe makes his own rules and he doesn’t care who cares or doesn’t.

I first heard him back in the early 2000’s with his first single ‘how bout you.’ He’s about to release a new record. Take a listen to see what I think is his best song, best record, and most underrated songs.

Today we are talking about NEEDTOBREATHE

NEEDTOBREATHE just released a brand new record called ‘out of body.’ Around the time they announced the record they also announced that founding member and brother to lead sing Bo Rinheart was leaving the band. Bo and Bear are brothers and started the band together. They both do the majority of the writing. So far this record is 100% NTB gold.

Join me as I discuss all things NEEDTOBREATHE.

Today we are talking about the killers.

The killers just released a brand new album called ‘imploding the mirage’ - this thing is great!

It’s a follow up to ‘wonderful wonderful’ which was also amazing.

I heard them when they first came out in 2004 with mr Brightside. The sound was amazing. It was synth rock with come goth influence plus whatever dave was doing on guitar. You could hear Ronnie’s skills shining through from the first record (hot fuss). His drumming is passionate. I later rediscovered them through a coworker around their ‘day and age’ record. Each killers song tells such a massive story.
