Mark Bryan revisits Who's Next on the Records Revisited podcast

INTERVIEW

I was teasing Mark Bryan, calling him psychic, for suggesting The Who’s Who’s Next as the subject of an episode of the fab Records Revisited Podcast. Mark picked it months ago; then, about a month after taping, an avalanche of press hit about the album's 50th anniversary. Good thing too, as Mark's knowledge of this album supersedes much of the journalism about the record and he’s able to discuss it as both a fan and technician.

Mark's solo album Midlife Priceless is out now on Stone Point Records, distributed by Slow Start Records.

PODCAST INTERVIEW

"'How do you stop a good guy with a gun?' This poignant question concludes the chorus of Chris J. Norwood’s brand new single." I'm loving the latest episode of the Journey Of A Song podcast with host Emmeline discussing "Good Guy With A Gun" from Chris' just-released new album 𝘐 𝘈𝘮 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘰𝘭 on State Fair Records. The two “talk about telling one's story through music, how songs can give each of us better perspective and deeper empathy, and how music has the potential to start important social conversations."

FEATURE

“J Hacha De Zola is mostly self-deprecating when it comes to his art, but there’s a methodical movement to his musical madness," writes Tina Benitez-Eves, doing an incredible thing at American Songwriter and digging deep for this overview.

I’ve worked with J for a long time, and it's one of those situations where I have the privilege of seeing an artist create a persona and then systematically step into it over time. This piece reflects that back to me… love it! Okay, back to the hype: 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘥𝘦𝘯 is out now. Listen to it over and over and over at Fanatic.lnk.to/JHachaDeZola-EastOfEden.
