After that they cover his posthumous albums as well as all his associated side projects, all with humor, knowledge, and a reverence for his music. A must listen for die hards and new fans alike.

  • Awesome

    Love this podcast. Binged most of it in the last ten days. This is a serious deep dive and a massive undertaking. Very interesting reviews and opinions that make me go back to albums I had previously dismissed or confirm even more so my opinions on the classics. Great show.
