11:17
SPEAKER_08: Um maybe.
11:19
SPEAKER_08: I don't know why that I just went there.
11:20
SPEAKER_08: Well, yes, I know why I just went there because we just said, What are you listening to?
11:23
SPEAKER_08: What are you listening to?
11:24
SPEAKER_08: Um, so this is not to get off on a tangent, but Chris Stapleton was in Nashville writing songs for other people.
11:38
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and growing years and growing his beard.
11:42
SPEAKER_08: Years before he became a household name.
11:46
SPEAKER_08: Right.
11:47
SPEAKER_08: Um he would demo his own songs and the demos would pass around Nashville and they'd be like, Who is this singing?
11:55
SPEAKER_08: You know?
11:55
SPEAKER_08: He was also in a band called uh Steel Drivers.
11:59
SPEAKER_08: He was in another rock band, I can't remember.
12:01
SPEAKER_08: The Jobson Brothers.
12:02
SPEAKER_08: The Jobson Brothers.
12:03
SPEAKER_08: Um but they would always be like, When is this guy gonna get a record deal?
12:08
SPEAKER_08: Well, he did a song that was wasn't a hit or anything, but he released it as himself.
12:17
SPEAKER_08: And some radio stations played it.
12:20
SPEAKER_08: And this is where we were first introduced to Chris Stapleton.
12:26
SPEAKER_08: This is where the first song from Chris Stapleton that I heard, it's not on a record anywhere.
12:52
SPEAKER_00: And let's play again again, every time.
13:44
SPEAKER_08: So that was before his first album, Traveler, came out.
13:47
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
13:47
SPEAKER_05: Good stuff.
13:48
SPEAKER_05: That's that's a good song.
13:49
SPEAKER_05: I've never that's the first time I've heard it.
13:50
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, because I mean it never it was never really released like on a on an album anywhere.
13:56
SPEAKER_05: Right.
13:56
SPEAKER_08: So, but yeah, I don't know why I went off on that tangent.
13:59
SPEAKER_08: I think it was because you said, What are you listening to?
14:02
SPEAKER_08: What are you listening to?
14:02
SPEAKER_08: So that's what we're listening to.
14:04
SPEAKER_08: Um and I just found out too.
14:06
SPEAKER_08: Not that this means anything, but they had to my my kids, my two boys, middle school boys, had to fill out um like a favorites thing, like favorite sports team, favorite whatever.
14:17
SPEAKER_08: It was it was something for So the government could track 'em.
14:20
SPEAKER_08: Right, exactly.
14:21
SPEAKER_08: Good thinking.
14:22
SPEAKER_08: Um and my eighth grader who listens to like when he goes to take a shower at night, he puts his music on and it's all this depressing new music.
14:33
SPEAKER_08: Um and he sings along while he's in the shower, and but it's like it's like heart-wrenching.
14:43
SPEAKER_08: I wish I could remember the some of the artists that he listens to.
14:46
SPEAKER_08: Um but he said his favorite artist on that little sheet was Chris Stapleton.
14:50
SPEAKER_08: I'm like, what really?
14:52
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
14:52
SPEAKER_08: Wow.
14:53
SPEAKER_08: So I asked him, I said, I said, dude, your favorite artist is Chris Stapleton?
14:56
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
14:58
SPEAKER_08: Yup.
14:59
SPEAKER_07: That's a typical middle school reaction, right?
15:00

15:01
SPEAKER_07: Yup.
15:02
SPEAKER_05: Yup, yo.
15:03

15:07
SPEAKER_07: Well, you didn't ask.
15:11
SPEAKER_08: So anyway.
15:13

32:06
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
32:06
SPEAKER_08: She's like uh Bonnie Raitt um with balls.

32:18
SPEAKER_08: Bonnie Raitt Okay, this this conversation got weird.

32:43
SPEAKER_08: He's awesome.
32:43
SPEAKER_08: And there are a lot of great slide guitar players.
32:46

32:49
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and he has been doing it obviously since he was a kid.
32:52
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
32:53
SPEAKER_08: And you can tell because he's incomparable in my opinion.
32:57
SPEAKER_08: He can just make that thing sing.
32:59
SPEAKER_08: I would agree.
32:59
SPEAKER_08: Even B.B.

SPEAKER_05: I don't know if that's true or not.
33:33

33:34
SPEAKER_05: But it would make sense because I know that to John Lee Hooker, I think a guitar was just it was just a tool.

34:04
SPEAKER_05: I mean, he just oozed blues.
34:06
SPEAKER_08: Right.
34:06
SPEAKER_08: It just emanates from him and and he makes it up as he goes along.
34:09
SPEAKER_08: And you say, Well d isn't that boom boom?
34:12
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, well, it was boom boom because I said boom boom.
34:15
SPEAKER_05: Right.
34:17
SPEAKER_05: Basically, I mean, whatever the song was, I mean he just made it his own.
34:20
SPEAKER_05: And you know, he you know, and if he feels like changing it, he's he's gonna change it.
34:24
SPEAKER_08: He's gonna change it, you know.
34:25
SPEAKER_05: So I always I always had mad respect for John Lee Harker.
34:29
SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah, yeah.
34:29
SPEAKER_08: So um I love John Lee Hooker too.
34:31
SPEAKER_08: I'm not gonna put him on my list.
34:32
SPEAKER_08: But uh so what am I on?
34:34
SPEAKER_08: Number my number four?
34:35
SPEAKER_08: Because I have Robert Johnson, B.B.
34:38
SPEAKER_08: King Tedesky Trucks.
34:39
SPEAKER_08: So I'm my number four.
34:40
SPEAKER_05: Was that my number three?
34:42
SPEAKER_08: You had Robert Johnson, B.B.
34:43
SPEAKER_08: King.
34:44
SPEAKER_05: BB King.
34:45
SPEAKER_05: No, that was my number three, so this is your number four.
34:47
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
34:48
SPEAKER_05: So then I gotta come up with my number four.
34:50
SPEAKER_08: Right.
34:50
SPEAKER_08: Um, oh yeah.
34:59
SPEAKER_08: Um, but I gotta think of who I go to.
35:01
SPEAKER_08: Like if I wanna listen to um great blues album, would you consider Ray Charles?
35:10
SPEAKER_05: Ray Charles is RB.
35:12
SPEAKER_05: Well, he came out of blues.
35:14
SPEAKER_05: He came out of gospel.
35:16
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
35:17
SPEAKER_08: I love Ray Charles, but uh I'm trying to I wouldn't call him a blues artist.
35:21
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, no.
35:22
SPEAKER_05: He definitely he was definitely influenced by the blues, but I wouldn't call him a blues artist per se.
35:26
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you're right.
35:27
SPEAKER_08: And I'm wondering how contemporary I should go because I love everyone from Kenny Wayne Shepherd to Well uh Stevie Ray.
35:34
SPEAKER_08: There you go.
35:34
SPEAKER_08: Oh Stevie Ray.
35:35
SPEAKER_08: Stevie Ray.
35:35
SPEAKER_08: Wow, he's definitely on my list.
35:36
SPEAKER_08: Stevie Ray's my number four, then I would actually go with that as my number four, too.
35:41
SPEAKER_08: As your number four because that that that is a guy who who reshaped blues uh in the eighties.
35:49
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
35:50
SPEAKER_08: You know, he blues was always there, but it was overshadowed by everything else.
35:56
SPEAKER_08: Right.
35:57
SPEAKER_08: Um and then here comes Stevie Ray Vaughn, who um was discovered by Mick Jagger, is that right?
36:04
SPEAKER_05: I could you could say that, but I think I think I don't mean discovered, but Mick Jagger saw him.
36:11
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
36:12
SPEAKER_05: I think I think he was instrumental in making Stevie Ray Vaughan more well known, right?
36:20
SPEAKER_05: You know, bringing him out into the open.
36:21
SPEAKER_05: Right.
36:22
SPEAKER_05: Because he was always there.
36:23
SPEAKER_07: Yep.
36:24
SPEAKER_05: But I think it took, you know, it took the star power of Mick Jagger to be like, oh, that's who Jim Mc Jagger's.
36:31
SPEAKER_05: Oh, Mick Jagger's talking about that guy.
36:32
SPEAKER_05: I want to listen to that guy.
36:33
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, well, I mean, didn't he he hooked him up with Jackson Brown and and Steve Ravon recorded his first album at Jackson Brown studio.
36:40
SPEAKER_08: Right, right, right, right.
36:41
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you know, I mean but I mean, he played like no one else.
36:47
SPEAKER_08: I mean, it was And nobody since.
36:49
SPEAKER_08: So nobody since.

SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
36:50
SPEAKER_08: Uh so intense.
36:51
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
36:52
SPEAKER_08: And his his strings were so thick and he had it such a unique basically they were like cables.
36:57
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, really.
36:58
SPEAKER_05: You know, and have you ever seen everything was d everything was tuned down a step or something like half a step or something like that?
37:07
SPEAKER_05: Because the strings were so thick.
37:08
SPEAKER_05: Right.
37:09
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
37:09
SPEAKER_08: Um, and he was a big Jimi Hendrix fan.
37:11

37:23
SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna find that and I'm gonna show it to you because it's unreal.
37:27
SPEAKER_08: He's he's playing a solo, the string breaks, and he starts singing and takes the guitar off, his guitar tech comes over, gives him another guitar, and he doesn't miss a beat.
37:42

48:21
SPEAKER_05: Yes.
48:22
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
48:25
SPEAKER_05: Oh, everybody knows this song.
48:26
SPEAKER_08: See.
48:27
SPEAKER_08: This is and this was this was um their first big one.
48:32
SPEAKER_05: Well, this is one that made everybody go, Oh!
48:35
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I love it.
48:36
SPEAKER_08: That's extreme, yeah.
48:37
SPEAKER_08: And then they went and got the album because they thought the whole album sounded like this.
48:40
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, that album is nothing like this song.
48:42
SPEAKER_08: So, this is the album that I picked.
48:45
SPEAKER_08: Pornographiti.
48:46
SPEAKER_08: Pornograffiti, yes.
48:48
SPEAKER_08: Which is their technically their second album.
48:50
SPEAKER_05: Right.
48:51
SPEAKER_05: Um it's probably my favorite album.
48:54
SPEAKER_08: I think so too.
48:55
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
48:55
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
48:55
SPEAKER_08: Uh although I do like the first one was really good.
48:58
SPEAKER_08: Uh although I do like uh Three Sides to Every Story.
49:00
SPEAKER_05: That's a good album, too.
49:02
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
49:02
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
49:02
SPEAKER_08: Uh but it is, I think this is their most consistent.
49:06
SPEAKER_08: Um obviously this was a huge one for them.
49:09
SPEAKER_05: But pornograffiti is the one that you can listen to every single track.
49:14
SPEAKER_05: It's one of those albums.
49:15
SPEAKER_05: Yes.
49:15
SPEAKER_05: Where you don't skip a track because every album is such a banger.
49:18
SPEAKER_08: Right.
49:19
SPEAKER_08: Uh, I want to talk a second about Nuno Betancourt.
49:22
SPEAKER_08: Oh, I think that's a good one.
49:23
SPEAKER_08: Because Nuno Betancourt is one of the most celebrated.
49:33
SPEAKER_08: Actually, no, is he?
49:35
SPEAKER_08: He's not.
49:36
SPEAKER_05: Honestly, he's probably he's celebrated within the music community.
49:41
SPEAKER_05: But he's he's not one of those guys that everybody knows.
49:44
SPEAKER_05: Even if you don't listen to rock music, nobody knows him outside of right.
49:51
SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
49:52
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
49:52
SPEAKER_08: Um, but he is I mean, extremely talented.
49:58
SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
49:58
SPEAKER_08: He's one of the best guitarists out there.
50:01
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he's playing that piano right now.
50:03
SPEAKER_08: He's playing the piano and he writes he he and Gary Sharone, who obviously were we were kind of alluding to before, Gary Sharon went and and sang lead for Van Halen for about five minutes.
50:13
SPEAKER_05: For that album that nobody talks about.
50:15
SPEAKER_08: Right, right.
50:16
SPEAKER_08: Van Halen 3, which there were some good spots on.
50:19
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there was.
50:20
SPEAKER_08: Uh, and he doesn't get the credit he deserves for carrying that on.
50:23
SPEAKER_08: But um so Gary Sharon and and and Nuno write most of the stuff.
50:28
SPEAKER_08: Nuno produces it and puts it all together, and it's just nobody plays guitar.
50:34
SPEAKER_08: He he's like a funk metal uh player.
50:38
SPEAKER_08: I mean, nobody plays guitar like he plays.
50:40
SPEAKER_05: Not really, no, he's got his own his signature style.
50:43
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
50:43
SPEAKER_08: So I'm playing the first track right now from Extreme 2 Pornograffiti, and this is called Decadence Dance.
50:49
SPEAKER_05: Decadence Dance.
50:50
SPEAKER_08: This is one of my favorite songs on the album, yeah, to be honest.
50:52
SPEAKER_08: It's it's a great, great opening song.
50:55
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
50:59
SPEAKER_05: The whole album's almost a concept album.
51:01
SPEAKER_05: It is.
51:02
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it is.
51:04
SPEAKER_08: And I was gonna one of the hints I was gonna give you was that they're big fans of Queen.
51:08
SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah.
51:08
SPEAKER_06: That might have given it away, but it's winged too much.
51:24
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
51:47
SPEAKER_08: I just think of all those big fans as more than words.
51:50
SPEAKER_08: They're big hits.
51:51
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
51:51
SPEAKER_08: And bought it, and this is the first album the first song they heard on the album.
51:54
SPEAKER_08: What is that?
52:29
SPEAKER_08: And it's just I mean, I uh I wish I could play every song on the album.
52:34
SPEAKER_08: I know, right?
52:35
SPEAKER_08: It's so it's such an amazing album.
52:37
SPEAKER_08: That album is debombed.
52:40
SPEAKER_08: Here's one thing I want to do, if I if I can find it on here, which I should be able to, is um uh Nuno's Nuno's Little Experiment.
52:51
SPEAKER_08: Uh do you know what I'm talking about?
52:53

SPEAKER_08: And this is in real time.
53:14
SPEAKER_08: This is not sped up.
53:52
SPEAKER_08: And I guess I could play the live version because he does it just like.
53:56
SPEAKER_08: I was about to say it sounds here.
53:58
SPEAKER_08: It sounds exactly the same.
53:59

59:23
SPEAKER_08: You like um what was the other one you like?
59:26
SPEAKER_08: I like Three Sides to Every Story.
59:28

59:28
SPEAKER_08: Because they just kind of branched out and went and did some.

59:34
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
59:34
unknown: Yeah.
59:35
SPEAKER_05: But it was really, it was still very cool.
59:36
SPEAKER_08: But I think they try and do that every album because the album that came after Three Sides to Every Story, they kind of abandoned like the studio tricks and just did uh like live in the studio and and and played.
59:49
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
59:49
