The Gary Dranow Show – Episode 3 featuring Gary Myrick

Dive into a captivating third episode as Gary Dranow welcomes Texas‑born guitarist, singer, and songwriter Gary Myrick. From replacing Stevie Ray Vaughan in Krackerjack to fronting his own new wave/blues-rock band Gary Myrick & The Figures—whose 1980 cult hit “She Talks in Stereo” remains an ‘80s classic—Myrick’s career is a masterclass in musical evolution.

In this episode, he opens up about:

• His transition from Austin to Los Angeles and signing with Epic Records

• Crafting “She Talks in Stereo” and the buzz behind Living in a Movie

• Songwriting sessions and playing guitar on John Waite’s No Brakes—including the #1 smash “Missing You”

• His return to roots rock and stripped‑down, analog recording on recent albums like Forever (Adventures in 12‑String)

Expect raw stories from life on the road, deep reflections on artistic reinvention, and an insider look at collaborating with legends like Jackson Browne, Steve Jones, Wilson Pickett, Stevie Wonder, and more.
