The Turnpike Troubadours (2015)

April 5, 2021 • 112 mins
Ep 12 - The Turnpike Troubadours The Turnpike Troubadours (2015) We will readily admit that country music is not our favorite genre of music.  So, when one of our friends said he could not only find a country album we would like, but specifically a red dirt country album that would change our minds, we took him up on the challenge.  Recorded in front of a live audience at Pratt's Books in Graham, Texas (Pratts...

Bruce Springsteen – Nebraska (1982)

November 16, 2020 • 102 mins
In 1981, The Boss asked one of his roadies to find a tape player that he could mess around with some songs in his house. He ended up making what I consider to be his finest album that went to #3 on the charts for that year, is considered one of the greatest albums in the entire decade, and frankly the album could be credited with creating a whole new genre of songwriting. And he didn’t even have COVID to thank for it. In this epi...
