Larry Williams & Johnny Watson - "Nobody"

February 15, 2025 • 25 mins
What happens when two R&B veterans team up with a psychedelic band for a one-off single? It's either one of the weirdest songs of the '60's or a forgotten classic, depending on your take on these things. For me, I'm firmly in the "lost treasure" camp. This original mash-up by Larry Williams & Johnny "Guitar" Watson, with The Kaleidoscope backing them up, is a relic from a time when anything seemed possible. "Nobody" (Dick Cooper, E...

Iggy Pop & The Stooges - "Search And Destroy"

February 1, 2025 • 21 mins
Iggy Pop made his (first) comeback with the Raw Power album, released in 1973. The album opens with the ferocious track “Search And Destroy”. Produced by David Bowie and powered by the savage energy of the reconstituted Stooges (featuring James Williamson’s guitar fury), this track set the tone, not only for this album, but for decades of punk and heavy metal to come. “Search And Destroy” (Iggy Pop & James Williamson) Copyright 197...

Broken Homes - "An L.A. Rain"

December 15, 2024 • 27 mins
For one hot moment, Broken Homes were the buzzed-about new band in LA, and big success was ahead. It never materialized. The band cut 3 albums for MCA, but they went nowhere. On this episode, we dig into a track from their first album, one of my favorite LP's from the '80's and a real "desert island" record for me. The album never came out on CD, but if you can track down a copy on vinyl, I highly recommend it. "An L.A. Rain" (Mike...

Matthew Sweet - "Divine Intervention"

November 1, 2024 • 30 mins
One of our greatest singer/songwriters, Matthew Sweet, suffered a stroke recently. He's facing some tough times ahead, but this isn't the first challenge he's faced. Things were not going Matthew Sweet’s way in 1990; his first two albums flopped, and his marriage fell apart. His 3rd album was make-or-break, do-or-die. If this one failed, he may never get to do another record. So he & his producer went back to basics, recording a ba...
