After many years as a musician, T-Bone hosted T-Bone’s Prime Cuts, a freeform radio show on WICR-FM in Indianapolis, and worked in online promotion for some of the greatest musicians in the world. In 2018, brain surgery and a stroke caused him to take a step back from that life and step into a brand new one. His latest contribution brings together his vast knowledge from decades of experience as a guitar player, and as a lifelong fan of all kinds of music from heavy metal to blues, country to soul, gospel, rock, and everything in between.
Host T-Bone interviews author Chris Sutton about the transformative Dio era of Black Sabbath, exploring its iconic albums and lasting impact on metal.
