It's produced by Andy Wallace -- known for mixing Nirvana's Nevermind -- and deftly combines alternative rock, folk, blues and even some art-pop. All that and Buckley's four-octave range and you have something special. It had poor sales but over the years its reputation has risen to legend.

August 21, 1952 His songwriting tackled social inequality, anti-racism, anti-imperialism and working-class struggles and helped shape the political backbone of the late 1970's counterculture. He passed away suddenly in December 2002 at 50. In 2003, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Clash.

Today's show - Real Spring or No Spring

Traditionally I've tried to make Friday's a little more upbeat but with George signalling a change in The Weather things went the other way. Played 3/4s of Portishead's Third album, which is unquestionably in my all time top 5 records, it's soooooo tragically miserable, the production I find absolutely outstanding. Love it.

Revisiting the great Gentleman album by The Afghan Whigs because I keep seeing interviews and stuff pop up on social media cause they have a new album coming out. No better time than to dig into the most soulful band to come out of 90s alt-rock.

Short, Sharp, Shocked

#michelleshocked #shortsharpshocked #80smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #altrock #americana Things have gotten a little weird in recent years but there's no denying the genius of her second album -- released on August 15, 1988. The album established her as an early voice in the alt-country and Americana genre. Pete Anderson, who had previously produced Dwight Yoakam, handled those duties on this one and cleanly blended Michelle's penchant for…
