The Record Player
Shuffling music has its rewards, but there's still nothing like listening to a good old-fashioned album, start to finish — and that's what The Record Player is all about. With every episode, we'll dig into the music of and story behind a single LP, with co-hosts Jeff Giles and Matt Wardlaw ("1991: The Year AOR Ate Itself") and special guests acting as your guides.

Episode 96
Jeff and Matt are alone in the studio this week to discuss Michael Bolton's big breakout album, 1989's Soul Provider. They review the history which led up to this record (including "Fools Game," which could be one of the best Bolton songs you've never heard) and dig into some of the stories and Michael's own musings from the time period. Is this the smoothest episode of the Record Player that you'll hear in 2023? Time (Love and Tenderness) will tell.
