Kudos to Chris and Stephanie from Ida Mae for helping Matt and Jeff connect the dots when it comes to the music of Richard and Linda Thompson. We loved getting a chance to dig into their Pour Down Like Silver album.
There's a new Ida Mae album that demands your ears also, called Thunder Above You. This particular conversation with Chris and Stephanie has been in the production vault for a minute and we're thrilled to finally be able to share it with you.
Jeff also shares some details regarding the rebirth of Jefitoblog -- and we preview the forthcoming trip to Bootleg City. Longtime readers and listeners, you'll be happy to hear that Bootleg City is once again being recognized as a proper town....or is it a village? The "City" part has always been a bit overblown, that much is known. There's a new sheriff in town....and a new Mayor. The Great Gross-Off is back in action at Jefitoblog and there are mumblings about Rock Court and many of the other features you know and love. This reboot is a good one, so don't miss it.
We also talked about how Pour Down Like Silver is yet another example that not everything is on streaming. If you guessed this might spark Matt to go on a tangent and talk about some examples, you'd be correct. Related to that, our buddy Mike Duquette is going to dig deep into that topic as part of "Stream Police," his new column at Duque's Delight which will focus on "unstreamable music." We can't wait!
There's probably some other stuff that we talked about as well in the really, really long intro, but that's why it's there for you to dig in and find out! Enjoy.
P.S. Did you listen to our first episode of The 1974 Project regarding Bob Dylan's Planet Waves? Our next episode regarding Court & Spark by Joni Mitchell lands next week!
