- David Bowie and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Great episode. I also remember at the time that Bowie’s team accused Stevie of not being able to read the guitar charts for the tour.

This is brilliant if you’re into your rock history. Although, I would say this is best listened to on Spotify as you can cue the song after the podcast. Apple please take note.

Loved this episode. One of the most underrated soundtracks is Xanadu. Between Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, there is an amazing variety of music that makes an otherwise cheesy movie so much more memorable.

Janda has a real gift for telling a story and her voice is money!!!
I recently listened to the episode about Sandy Denny. It reminded me when the band GET THE LED OUT featured the vocals of the late Diana DeSantis during their live acoustics performances of The Battle of Evermore. Check it out on YouTube. Search for GTLO Red Rocks Battle of Evermore.
