S5: November Records of the Month - Bonny Light Horseman, Train, Lee Fields, and ZZ Top

On this episode of the Blind Tiger Record Club Podcast, David W. Williams and Kevin Lee discuss the Blind Tiger Record Club's November Records of the Month.

We discuss all four styles of the B.T.R.C. Records of the Month - Singer Songwriter, Rock & Alternative, Jazz Soul & Blues, and Classics. We talk about new releases and reissues from Bonny Light Horseman, Train, Lee Fields, and ZZ Top. The albums from these artists are discussed and clips of songs from the albums are played.

We discuss the return of Eric D. Johnson, Anais Mitchell, and Josh Kaufman to the Bonny Light Horseman line up. We also discuss the major differences between Bonny Light Horseman's Rolling Golden Honey and their 2020 self-titled, Grammy Award Nominated album, and how this new release really makes the trio an actual "band" versus a side project. We talk about Train's AM Gold and how strange this release has been from its Billboard numbers to its absence at Triple A radio, even though the band has a long history at the format. We talk about the fact that Pat Monohan is a really strong frontman, but is also the only original member of the band still in Train. We dive into traditional soul artist Lee Fields new solo album, Sentimental Fool. We discuss the fact that this is his first album without the Expressions in twenty years. We also talk about producer Gabriel Roth, and how he co-owns Dap-tone Records and performed and produced Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings for twenty years. We cover ZZ Top's1983 release, Eliminator, and how it moved the band from blues based boogie rock to a more mainstream, synth driven, new wave rock. We also discuss the important branding decisions made with Billy Gibbons and Bill Ham to include Gibbon's 1933 Ford Coupe in all the album's marketing and several music videos.

We also briefly discuss Taylors Swift's new Billboard record shattering new album, Midnights, and how well the album and her lead single, "Anti-hero" has done.

Here are the albums included in this episode of the Blind Tiger Record Club Podcast:

Singer Songwriter October Record of the Month: Bonny Light Horseman | Rolling Golden Honey (Ltd. Ed. Galaxy Blue Vinyl)

The songs are discussed and clips of songs are played. We talk about charts, both at the time of the song's original release and any "re-entry" into Billboard's Hot 100 every Halloween. We discuss TV and Film syncs, and the many cultural impacts that all the songs have had which is why they are on our G.O.A.T. list.

We also present other important Halloween songs that are TV Themes, big film songs, or other culturally important songs as our transitions between each song on our Top 10 list. This allows the panel to discuss ten more songs that include Halloween defining songs such as the themes of John Carpenter's Halloween, Tales from the Crypt, The Twilight Zone, Addams Family, and Stranger Things. We also discuss other soundtrack and Halloween songs like Danny Elfman's "This Is Halloween" from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' "Red Right Hand" made famous by the Scream franchise.  Andrew Gold's internet sensation "Spooky Scary Skeletons" and the genre bending song by the godfathers of "Horror Punk", the Misfits' "Halloween".  We also discuss a second song from the Stranger Things franchise that utilizes an amazing sampling of Journey's "Separate Ways".

It's a really fun way to celebrate a lot of the incredible music surrounding Halloween.

Singer Songwriter Trapper Haskins joins host David W. Williams to discuss his latest release, Blood In The Honey.

They talk about Haskin's recording career from his early days with Trapper Haskins & the Bitter Swill, to his solo career. They discuss how the places he has lived ranging from cities and states like Memphis, Maine, NY, NC, New Orleans, and Nashville have really shaped and informed his writing.

S5: October Records of the Month - Trapper Haskins, Muse, GA-20, and Journey

On this episode of the Blind Tiger Record Club Podcast, David W. Williams and Kevin Lee kick off the fall with a discussion of the Blind Tiger Record Club's October Records of the Month.

We discuss all four styles of the B.T.R.C. Records of the Month - Singer Songwriter, Rock & Alternative, Jazz Soul & Blues, and Classics. Normally, each style would have its own club episode, but this month, we have them all combined in one show.

We discuss new releases and reissues from Trapper Haskins, Muse, GA-20, and Journey. The albums from these artists are discussed and clips of songs from the albums are played. We talk about a very special album, Blood In The Honey, By Trapper Haskins and how unique the production and arrangements are on this album. You can catch our LP Interview with Trapper Haskins on October 24th and listen to Haskins tell us all about vintage baseball, boatmaking, and the writing and production of this album. We also discuss Will of the People by Muse and how visual the album is even though it's not officially a concept album. We talk about GA-20's Crackdown, the duo's follow up to 2019's Lonely Soul. We discuss the groups traditional blues, country, and rock influence and how the pair are really "blues revivalist". The last album we discuss is the epic classic rock album, Escape (E5C4P3), by Journey, celebrating over 40 years since its release. We cover the albums chart positioning worldwide and the singles. We talk about the importance of "Open Arms" to the "power ballad" at pop radio and how incredible Steve Perry's vocals are on this Journey album in particular.. We also talk about how the album was produced by former Lynyrd Skynyrd's sound engineer, Kevin Elson and Queen engineer Mike Stone as well as the role played by Jonathan Cain who replaced Gregg Rolie on keyboards for this album. We also discuss the biggest song of the 20th century - "Don't Stop Believin'" and how it competes for downloads with a certain song by Survivor - much to that band's chagrins.

We also briefly discuss U2 and Bono's new book and book tour, Surrender: 40 Songs. We also discuss a very important milestone achieved by Apple Music and how some songs still penetrate the larger culture like "I Ain't Worried" by One Republic.

Here are the albums included in this episode of the Blind Tiger Record Club Podcast:
