Ben Montgomery — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:17:10 +0000

Don Williams was one of the biggest country stars of the 80s. Yet, we don't talk enough about Don. Glad that Thomas Csorba picked the 1977 record "Country Boy" from Don though, if you ask Wayne, Thomas should have picked "I Believe In You" from 1980.

Plenty of other discussion including the Opry, Mickey Gilley, Eddie Rabbitt, "to G or not to add a G," the legacy of Don with Louisiana Football (on a Saturday Night), and much more. If you like old school country, this is your episode!

Ben Montgomery — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:15:54 +0000

Patreon Revisitor Scotty Kummer of the I’ve Got That On Vinyl Podcast & The Ten Junk Miles Podcast joins us to discuss "Parallel Lines" from Blondie. We have a longstanding argument about "Parallel Lines." I've said it's a good album...but not essential.

I might have changed my stance had Wayne not been such a poo poo head about it. And, I really wanted to double down.

Just don't tell Wayne that I think it's an essential record now, OK? Thanks.

Episode 379: Episode 379: Harley Flanagan discusses Black Sabbath's "Master of Reality"

Ben Montgomery — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Harley Flanagan has been kicking out punk music since he was in grade school. Literally. Cro-Mags, Harley's band, has been a big part of the NYC punk scene since the 80s and Harley has been making the rounds lately promoting his documentary called "Harley Flanagan: Wired for Chaos."

Probably should have known by the documentary title that this episode would be anything but our typical format. Plenty of other discussion including downtuning guitars, "Medusa" from Trapeze, Ozzy's voice being unrecognizable, NYC punk scene in the 70s and 80s, CBGB, the Beastie Boys, and more.

Episode 378: Episode 378: Sterling Drake discusses “Wanted! The Outlaws”

Ben Montgomery — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 16:44:32 +0000

The "Wanted! The Outlaws" compilation from 1976 was a huge launching pad (or relaunching pad) for Waylon and Willie. And, it did for country what The Sex Pistols or Ramones did for punk music.

Sterling Drake joins us to talk about this game changing compilation and his new album “The Shape I’m In.” Plenty of other discussion including short sleeved pearl snaps, Bro Country vs. Real Country (and some anti Rascal Flatts sentiment), who are the modern country outlaws, women are outlaws too, and Tompall Glaser deserves more discussion.

Ben Montgomery — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

There's only one band I've seen more live in concert than Carbon Leaf. It's a FUN time (one y'all should experience). Jesse Humphrey and Jon Markel from the band join us to discuss the self-titled debut from Rage Against the Machine (and, no, Carbon Leaf does NOT sound like Rage).

Plenty of other discussion including counterfeit Carbon Leaf t-shirts, Freebird, Fenway, "you have to play the new songs," Wilco opening bands, Grammys for 1993 & 1994, free jazzy, who is E Double, and is it a dying cat or a police alarm?

Rambler Kane (and my friend Mark Cooper) discuss John Craigie's live album "Capricorn in Retrograde...Just Kidding...Live in Portland" from 2016. Plenty of other discussion including Rambler's own live album (which y'all need to check out...it's fantastic), being vulnerable, Craigie or a Braves game, Florida, Portlandia, Dire Straits, Wayne's podcaster phase (also known as get drunk on Wednesday phase), Philly Cheesesteaks, hummus, and dirty pictures on your phone.

Episode 374: Episode 374: Rick Springfield's “Working Class Dog” with Michael Citro

Ben Montgomery — Wed, 07 May 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Wayne, Michael Citro and I are starting our pregaming early for a concert in May. Rick Springfield, John Waite, Wang Chung, and John Cafferty are all on one bill. Is there another album from any of those artists that we should do another pregaming episode about? We're not so sure after listening to this album again. At least Side A is awesome.

Episode 372: Episode 372: The Mayflies USA Interview

Ben Montgomery — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 20:43:32 +0000

Anyone remember the Mayflies USA? I got a promo copy of "Summertown" in 1998 and I fell in love with the album. They went on a massive hiatus but got together to record their latest album "Kickless Kids" set for release in May 2025. When I got a press release about this, I immediately asked if they could come on the show to talk about their career, the new album, and albums (and some songs) important to them.

We talk with Matt McMichaels and Adam Price about the new album but also talk about Bob Mould, power pop (and finally embracing that genre tag), Jackson Mississippi, trying to emulate the Replacements (the self sabotage aspect), getting produced by Mitch Easter and Chris Stamey, Keith Richard, Steely Dan, and more.

If you're not a fan yet, I think you will be after this.

Episode 371: Episode 371: Drive-By Truckers "The Dirty South" with Kevin Peters & Jason Earle & Stephen Deusner

Ben Montgomery — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 11:06:07 +0000

Man, this was fun. I've been on a Drive-By Truckers kick since the holidays since I decided to do a full discography listen as a way of pregaming for seeing the band for the first time in early February. That show was pure awesomeness.

This was one of our Patreon Revisitor shows with Kevin Peters picking the album. We asked Stephen Deusner, author of Where the Devil Don't Stay: Traveling the South with the Drive-By Truckers (American Music Series): Deusner, Stephen: 9781477318041: Amazon.com: Books to join us. And, no Drive-By Truckers episode could be recorded without our buddy Jason Earle of the Marinade who is a DBT superfan.

I think y'all will dig this one, even if you're not super familiar with DBT. Enjoy!

Ben Montgomery — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 11:21:33 +0000

Do you know The Weakerthans? We barely did. But we absolutely loved this record. Big kudos to our guest Caleb Caudle for picking this one. We also discuss his new record "Sweet Critters" and his collaborations with John Paul White and Alison Russell, sad people, The Opry, playing for small rooms, skipping the choruses, cats who try to motivate, the Elks Lodge, hockey pucks, The Paramount, and beep boops.

Ben Montgomery — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The guys are joined by cka FLAX (Sean Flax) to discuss Chris Whitley and his 1998 album “Dirt Floor.” Plenty of other discussion including FLAX’s new album “the birth of fantasy,” memes, documentaries, the act of killing, ball peen hammers and a lack of a claw, loco girls, dying way young and Wayne getting called out by the guest might be my favorite moment on an episode in a while.

Of course our Patreon Revisitors bail us out once again – this time it’s repeat revisitor Scotty Kummer from Ten Junk Miles and I’ve Got That On Vinyl to talk about “Women and Children First” from the legendary Van Halen.

Plenty of other discussion on this one including the Minnesota Twins, artists and albums we've fallen in love thanks to podcasting about music, high heels, convoy and truck driver life, Zappa, why we don't discuss jazz records (and it's not because we don't like jazz), getting recognized as podcast hosts, Nicolette Larson, and deciphering between lead singers and rock stars.

Episode 367: Episode 367: The Police’s “Ghost in the Machine” with Daryl Hance

Ben Montgomery — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 12:46:27 +0000

Musician Daryl Hance joins us to discuss the fourth album from the Police “Ghost in the Machine.” Plenty of discussion about MTV, speaking French, Sandra Bullock and “Demolition Man,” alpha males & omega males, and more.

Dissecting any Police record is a lot of fun and doing it with Daryl was a blast. Y'all go check out his last album "Devil's Milhopper." It's one part 70s rock (ala Black Sabbath or maybe Mountain) and one part Jesus and Mary Chain. Yeah, it sounds bizarre, right? It is. But, also really great at the same time.

While Wayne is away, I get to discuss some Lucero with Patreon Revisitor Seth Gill, Repeat Revisitor Jason Earle (of the Marinade Podcast) and first timer musician Matt Woods. Man...we have a blast on this episode. Jason's theory of breaking down Ben Nichols tunes into different categories turns into a super fun exercise. I'm not gonna spoil the fun of what the categories are called.

Episode 365: Episode 365 - Interview with Jerry Hey

Ben Montgomery — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 11:39:23 +0000

Maybe the name Jerry Hey doesn't ring any bells for you. But, you've been listening to songs that Jerry has played his trumpet on or has arranged for probably your entire life. He became one of Quincy Jones' main studio guys. He arranged strings on "Billie Jean," played on Brothers Johnson and Earth Wind & Fire and George Benson albums, that's him on Dolly's "9 to 5," and he's been on a ton of TV and movie soundtracks (yep, that's him on the CHiPs theme song). And, since I'm reengineering the "Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon" to "Seven Degrees of Dan Fogelberg"....that's Jerry on the flugelhorn for the "Longer" solo. Guess how many takes it took to nail that solo?

We have an unanimous top song! What?!? Any guesses what song?

Episode 356: Episode 356: A discussion with Mindy Smith

Ben Montgomery — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 12:50:50 +0000

From Ben: I fly solo for this interview with Mindy Smith. I could have used Wayne to tell me that my microphone wasn't working properly (it might be time for a new laptop). Mindy and I talk about her excellent new album "Quiet Town" and other topics like being Geminis, Neilson Hubbard (who produced "Quiet Town"), Susan Ashton, writing sad songs, reading the comments, breaking the rules (and how it paid off). I love her picks for 5 favorite albums including The Sundays and another guest talks about "Poses" from Rufus Wainwright!

Songs include (from "Quiet Town" unless otherwise noted):

Jericho

Every Once in a While

One Moment More (from debut titled "One Moment More")

Jocelyn Si of Walt Disco and guest co-host Jason Earle (of The Marinade” podcast) join me in discussing “Poses” from Rufus Wainwright. Plenty of other discussion including finding one’s voice in college, getting ready to tour with OMD in the states (in 2025, not in 2024), Bronski Beat, Nepo Babies, Death of Venice, welcome moments of horns, and "In A Graveyard" is I think the best Billy Joel song not written or sung by Billy Joel. Prove me wrong.

I won't guarantee that you'll like the album. It was a slow burn for me. This one takes time to grow on you and, I get it, sometimes we don't have that time to invest in an album that maybe you're only marginally interested in. But, I felt rewarded in taking the time to absorb “Poses.”

Plenty of other conversation including the LA country scene, Mule Kick Records, Post Malone, the Bluebird, male guilt, Jenny Lewis, alternative radio in 2004, beeps and boops, and we still don’t know the meaning of 11/11/46. Jenny needs to come on the show to explain!

And, we weren't very nice about "Ripchord" which, on any album, would be a song that I'd probably really dig. Sorry Blake! Give a listen and let me know your thoughts!

Ben Montgomery — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 20:19:58 +0000

We got the band back together! Another Seattle related band episode with repeat revisitors Kasey Anderson and Shawn Brown...this time Pearl Jam's "Yield."

The intro song is Kasey's "Believers" from his upcoming new album due in October. Spoiler alert: His album is REALLY FREAKING GOOD.

One note: I overlooked that Pearl Jam was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance for "Do the Evolution" that was won by Page and Plant for "Most High." I didn't see the nomination because that category was discontinued in 2011. Sorry for the oversight.

Episode 328: Episode 328 - Scott McCaughey discussed Young Fresh Fellows "The Men Who Loved Music"

Ben Montgomery — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 11:33:39 +0000

Growing up in the Northwest, the Young Fresh Fellows were our Replacements. Our Big Star. Our "fill in the blank for the band that never got the due they deserved." They were an American Band that just played some good time rock 'n roll. And, Scott McCaughey was the driving force for the band. He's done alright for himself along the way...being a part of R.E.M. for years, The Minus 5, The Baseball Project. Scott is a legend.

So, when I had a chance to be self indulgent in discussing both baseball (based on the Baseball Project's latest record) AND "The Men Who Loved Music" with Scott....well...I think you can probably tell that I was super pumped to have the opportunity. We dig through the stories behind the songs on the album...and relive a little of that time period in the '80s (shout outs to PLU, Amy Grant, The Fastbacks, Dave Niehaus and more). Even if you're not familiar with Scott or this band, I think you'll enjoy the conversation.
