Signature Songs, Vol. 8 - The Grateful Dead

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2318962/fan_mail/new] This week, I’m continuing my Signature Songs series with the Grateful Dead! The Dead had an incredible career without any real commercial album or single sales. They were never really a traditional hit-single band. They were a live band, a touring band, a tape-trading band, and a band whose fans were heavily invested in their music. But their signature song isn’t necessarily their best song, or even their fans' favorite song — it’s the song most associated with them by the general population of music fans. And yet, without chart hits, they still produced some of the most influential music of the rock-n-roll era, and so I’m looking at the major contenders, and I’ll make the case for the one song that became the Grateful Dead's true calling card. It's all this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast! And then I want to hear from you - did I get it right?

Signature Songs, Vol. 7 - Earth, Wind & Fire

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2318962/fan_mail/new] This week, I’m continuing my Signature Songs series with Earth, Wind & Fire! Earth, Wind & Fire had an incredible hitmaking run from 1974 through 1983, including 16 Top 40 hits, 7 Top 10 singles, and one No. 1 song. But their signature song isn’t necessarily their best song, or even their biggest hit — it’s the song most tied to their public image. So I’m looking at the major contenders, and I’ll make the case for the one song that became Earth, Wind & Fire's true calling card. It's all this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!

Adam Sobsey - The Interview

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2318962/fan_mail/new] This week, I sit down with writer Adam Sobsey, author of Chrissie Hynde: A Musical Biography and A Jewish Appendix, for a conversation about music, writing, creativity, and the ways songs connect us to memory, identity, and each other. Adam shares how music first entered his life, before leading him into bands, playwriting, criticism, and eventually a full-length biography of Chrissie Hynde. We talk about what makes Hynde and The Pretenders so compelling and why her later career deserves a closer listen. We also discuss Adam’s book A Jewish Appendix, his current fiction project inspired by Scott Miller of Game Theory and The Loud Family, the role of outsiders in art, and some unforgettable concert memories, from The B-52s and Fishbone to The Pretenders, and Swervedriver. The Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast is a World Highway Media production.

Signature Songs, Vol. 6 - Def Leppard

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2318962/fan_mail/new] This week, I’m continuing my Signature Songs series with Def Leppard! Def Leppard had an incredible hitmaking run from 1981 through 1992, including 15 Top 40 hits, four Top 10 singles, and one No. 1 song. But their signature song isn’t necessarily their best song, or even their biggest hit — it’s the song most tied to their public image.
