FROM THE ARCHIVES: BEST OF HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH

Author: Rock and/or Roll April 18, 2025 Duration: 1:11:08
Originally released February 2018: Rock and/or Roll listeners are familiar with the "Worst of" series where BJ and special guest co-host Brian Sword pick the five worst song by the best bands. Now with this new series "Best of" they've decided to turn that idea on its head and force themselves to pick the five best songs by the worst bands, starting with Hootie and the Blowfish.

Digging through crates and cueing up forgotten vinyl, ROCK AND/OR ROLL is for those who find magic in the margins of music history. This podcast isn't a parade of greatest hits; instead, it wanders down the side alleys and dead ends of rock's sprawling landscape, pulling out stories and sounds that time almost forgot. Each episode feels like a conversation with a deeply knowledgeable friend who's excited to play you a bizarre B-side or unravel the tangled tale behind a cult album. You'll hear the crackle of rare records and the voices of artists who operated just outside the spotlight, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the genre's underbelly. Whether you're a seasoned collector with a dedicated listening room or simply someone with a curiosity for what fell through the cracks, the show provides a regular dose of musical archaeology. It’s a celebration of the obscure, the odd, and the outright brilliant-all the stuff that makes rock and/or roll endlessly fascinating. Tune in for a thoughtfully curated escape from the mainstream, where every discovery feels personal and every story adds a new piece to the puzzle. ROCK AND/OR ROLL is produced as part of the Pantheon Podcasts network.
