  • Building(the ding is silent)
    Excellent!
    As a voracious album liner notes reader, I was thrilled to happen upon this podcast! Looking forward to catching up on the whole catalogue! Keep up the great work!
  • Uncle Doug K
    Mark Farner
    Joe Kay is a true historian of rock. This type of “rock-n-roll” journalism is awesome.
  • ChrisMKE69420
    Great Pod
    Probably my favorite part of the pod is Chris. Largely because I love the sound of my own voice!
  • Sober Southerner
    smooth, professional & shockingly informative
    As a fellow rock music expert I have high expectations for podcasts of this type. Not only was I hella impressed by the amount of research host Joe Kay does, but the thoughtful way he integrates it. From documented facts to witness accounts, plus his own well-informed qualified opinions it's like he's a panel of 3 distinct experts covering one topic from many discreet angles, giving you a 5-dimensional picture of the artist and thier music. I was stunned to actually learn 3 entirely new things about Joe Walsh, an artist whose work and life I happen to know intimately already. On top of that he's got a super listenable style. When I have to speed up 4 out of every 5 podcasts just to get past the droning, stammering, ums, uhs, and repetitive circle-speak, this guy's refreshing as heck... a real natural on the mic, very professional sounding.
