I’m a little late to the party, but this is an incredibly enjoyable podcast. These guys are both entertaining and well informed and do a great job discussing the LP format. The banter is genuine and they do their research; all the while presenting their own individual unique takes on some great records. This is a great listen. Highly recommend.
Fantastic podcast, put together by true music enthusiasts. Detailed history, interesting insights and fun reviews of a wide variety of albums, not just the usual suspects.
If you enjoy listening to 3 friends bantering and you share their passion for music, this is a must listen podcast. I have known Doug and Jonathan (JM) since we were teenagers and can verify they are 100% Texas Yahoos…and Tony fits right in.
My New Year’s resolution is to complete all episodes from the original Jerry Jeff Walker and Billy Joe Shaver memorial podcasts all the way to today including listening to each album. It will be time well spent.
I just don’t understand my podcast with this many episodes can’t convince one of the hosts to not have such a dry mouth, but it makes it impossible to listen to on headphones
Down to earth guys with great chemistry. Terrific show for a music fan.

This long-running albums-focused show takes a wholehearted, opinionated approach to exploring a full record's history, context, and artistry. Episodes center on deep-dive conversations about individual albums, weaving in band histories, recording anecdotes, and notable connections between artists, with a strong emphasis on the storytelling power of the LP as a complete work. Banter and well-researched trivia are common, and guests (often musicians or experts) help illuminate the album's era and impact. The format tends to blend reverence for the music with insightful (and often humorous) takes, making it appealing to listeners who love vinyl, music history, and behind-the-scenes storytelling. A standout element is the group's ability to tra... more
