Classic Rock Drops Episode 5

Author: Mike Williams and Tuck Watts October 1, 2017 Duration: 1:16:57

This week we look over the latest releases House of Lords, Mike Tramp, Stephen Pearcy,Black Star Riders, Junkyard, Living Colour, Jonny Lang, and Gregg Allman. We also introduce the new Music Minute Segment featuring other new releases.


For fans who grew up with the giants of guitar and vocals, there's often a frustrating silence after an artist's greatest hits era. Classic Rock Drops Podcast exists to break that silence. Hosts Mike Williams in Nashville and Tuck "the professor" Watts started this show in July 2017 out of a shared realization: legendary rock musicians never stopped creating, but commercial radio largely stopped playing their new material. This podcast is the dedicated outlet for that music, championing the latest albums, singles, and projects from the artists who defined a genre. Each episode dives into these new releases with the enthusiasm of discovery and the deep knowledge of true insiders. You'll hear thoughtful analysis of songwriting and production, alongside conversations that get beyond nostalgia to explore current creative drives. The tone is like hanging out with two incredibly well-informed friends who are genuinely excited to share what your favorite artists are doing right now. Tuck's scholarly "professor" perspective blends with Mike's grounded hosting for discussions that are both insightful and accessible. By tuning in, you're directly supporting the continued work of these musicians, ensuring their new efforts find an eager audience. It’s a vital connection for listeners who still believe in the power of a great rock song, no matter the release date. Join Mike and Tuck to rediscover the artists you love and hear where their journeys have taken them next.
