Half A Cench

This week we're a few days late with this episode, but it gave us more time to digest the highly influential debut from Roxy Music. 

This week our good friend Mat Alano-Martin joins us for the first time to get deep into the lyrics of legendary songwriter and wordsmith John Prine. 

This week our good friend Branden joins us to talk about the debut record by one of his all time favorite groups, Styx. They come out the gate proggy but at their core they're pure rockers from the start.

This week it's revisiting time with Stevie Wonder, as we discuss his second record of the year. Despite differing opinions, there's no doubt it was even more successful than the first. Gabe nods along in agreement with us. 

This week we're off to the faire with our friend Bob to talk about an album he really likes, Foxtrot by Genesis. The first to hit the charts for these proggers. 

This week we do things a little differently, and trade music for comedy. The great George Carlin released two groundbreaking albums that year. Jeremy joins us again to laugh it up. 

This week we put our space faces close to the starman himself, David Bowie, as we freak out to this legendary record. For this time, our brother and bandmate Jeremy joins us. 

This week we learn a lot about War, the cool, funky kind though, that put out great records like this one. 

This week Gabe helps us get in the mood as we revisit Al Green and his second very successful album of the year.

This week there are a lot of mixed reviews for the album Trilogy by prog masters ELP. Our friend Bob mixes it up with us.

This week we journey through a sandstorm of percussion and guitar solos with Santana and the record that began a jazz fusion period for them.

This week it's the end of an era for Willie Nelson. Gabe stops by to discuss the final two records of the country music icon's Nashville days. 

This week we give love to the one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, Super Fly, by one of the greatest artists of all time, Curtis Mayfield.

This week our hearts are broken and rebuilt by the high priestess of soul Nina Simone and her important statement in the form of the great record Emergency Ward!

This week we talk about bluegrass legend John Hartford and his marvelous record Morning Bugle. We're joined by friend Ben Frazier and his pops Mike, who gives us an amazing personal perspective on how this album changed his life. Not only did he see Hartford live at that time, but he also met the man himself!

This week summer kicks off in a creepy way with School's Out by shock rocker Alice Cooper and his great band. Bob is back again to talk about another of his least favorite albums by one of his most favorite artists.

This week Bob helps us turn the record The Slider by glam rockers T Rex into a wild comic book.

This week we blend our voices with our good friend Gabe, as we talk about the debut record from (The) Eagles.

This week we trek the valley with Obscured By Clouds, a record that was on the cusp of Pink Floyd's most famous era.

This week we take a trip to the Honky Chateau, the record that began Elton John's long reign of chart toppers. Comedic winemaker and musical martial artist Jonas joins us again.

This week we're listening to the funky advice of Bill Withers on his breakthrough record Still Bill.

This week we fail to pay our taxes and flee the country with The Rolling Stones and their amazing record Exile on Main Street. Alongside us is Gabe, and for the first time, our pal and fellow musician Ben Frazier.

This week it's all beards and blues with the lonestar legends ZZ Top and their record Rio Grande Mud. Once again Cody drops by, as well as a surprise guest, could it be Billy Gibbons himself?

This week we review not one but two albums: Three Friends and Octopus. Both by the obscure and sophisticated prog band Gentle Giant. 

This week it's A Thing Called Love by the one and only Johnny Cash. A lesser known record to us but still a big hit for the man in black. Joining us is the man in slacks, Gabe Colman.
