Love the show, guys!! I especially love that compilation portion and really appreciate all the work Tim put into it. He’s great. However, he’s been way too nice as of late. Jeff and Ben have complained so that now the thing’s so easy. It’s like they’re playing on a 7 foot rim. It’s time for Tim to take the gloves off and really let them have it. NO MORE MR. NICE HOST!!

The Three Friends are back and in great form with a musical road trip to various cities. Season II saw their Favorite Albums of the Year, from 1969 to the present. The producer/MC has honed his skills to the micron, the talent is on fire, and the format endures. It more than endures - it rocks. Album Selection opens doors for this listener because of the multiple in-roads an album offers. I didn’t, in Season I, tend to look to an album of an artist new to me if I didn’t like the Boy’s Favorite S... more

Tim, Jeff, and Ben make an unholy trio of musical experts with indelible opinions and incredible knowledge of the back stories of the music and the musicians that they like! Listening to these three charming educators talk about their lives and musical experiences (+memories ) is a thrill each week. Their camaraderie is really fun. Even though I am old enough to be a father to any of them, I learn enough from each podcast to keep me coming back for more! Keep up the good work, guys, Singalong Bi... more
