Episode 20: Songwriter Carroll Brown talks about his life in the music business, the Irish pubs, Nashville, and everywhere in between
South Carolina songsmith Carroll Brown sits down with Brandon to talk about more than 50 years in the music business. Carroll not only tells us the stories behind some of his most popular songs, but about founding legendary SC music venues Delaney's and Hound Dogs; becoming a fixture at coastal Irish pubs Kevin Barry's and Tommy Condon's; moving to Nashville and buying into a music publisher; and even what it was like to shop your record to radio stations from city to city, by hand, in the glory days of the record business.
ALSO: What chaos unfolded when the Marshall Tucker Band joined him onstage? How do you get a room full of rowdy drinkers to listen to the songs you're trying to sing? How did he break the news to Shannon Tanner that he hadn't recorded a single note of the live album they thought they'd just finished? And what advice does he have for new performers? Brandon sat down with Carroll in his home studio to get the whole story!

Episode 19: One-Album Wonders - bands who only made one album, then disappeared, disbanded, or disintegrated
On this episode, Brandon's going back through the history of rock (and hip-hop) for a handful of groups who released only one album in their ENTIRE careers... but it was a really good album! We've got megastars like the Sex Pistols and Blind Faith; we've got ones genre fans love but the general public doesn't seem to know about like Mother Love Bone and Operation Ivy; and we've even got a couple you may have never heard of no matter who you are.
PLUS: Kirk is back to guide us through the history of ska and Operation Ivy's place in it, so pull up a chair and learn something on today's episode of WNUT Talk!

Episode 18: Superstar Slumps - we explore some of the less-traveled periods and albums of megastars' careers
On this episode, Brandon walks you through some lesser-known albums in the careers of a few MEGA popular groups. Did you know Run-DMC tried to go gangsta and started swearing heavily in 1990? What about the Aerosmith reunion album that NEVER gets remastered or included on the Greatest Hits? And there's a whole Red Hot Chili Peppers album with Dave Navarro on guitar that the band doesn't even acknowledge anymore... and it's REALLY good!
PLUS: That time Kiss put out an album of Hobbit music with orchestral backing... or when Iron Maiden went full Spinal Tap with a vocalist that didn't fit them well... and then Van Halen said "Hold our beer." This is Superstar Slumps on WNUT Talk, so let's go!
