When I first discovered Deep Focus, it was as if I’d found a treasure trove filled with recordings you might dream of hearing, but never find. But here they are!
Every episode rewards us with insights from those in the know and music you almost certainly wouldn’t have heard before.
Tune in and enjoy.
Such an amazing music podcast with a deeply curated, researched, and knowledgeable wealth of experience brought each episode exploring the selected musical artist each episode (or episodes). The journalism honors the artist’s included and deeply explores and appreciates the topics. Always worth making time for the focused listening required. I will be donating. Thank you for the fabulous show! I deeply appreciate this splendid work.
This is a MUST listen to podcast if you love learning about the creative process of America’s most treasured art form.
This is a great way to document music history!!
