Greetings Dead Freaks! The last episode of 2022 is here with a variety of new (and old) music recommendations coming straight from my playlists to your earholes. Its definitely been a year over here at Shrunken Road Studios and I thank you for sticking with me through it all. In addition to the recommendations, I'm taking one last chance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead's 1972 shows with a healthy mix that gets good and weird. Please check out these fine releases as heard in the episode:Phil Cook "From The Kitchen" is a terrific 2xLP live album available from Warhen Records. Cook and company create a charming blend of blues, soul, and gospel that touches the heart and lifts the spirit. I had the pleasure of talking to him for episode 21(!) and continue to love his work. Grip your copy today via the Warhen Record Bandcamp. Sunburned Hand of the Man is a psychedelic/experimental music collective that has had many members, many forms, and many sounds over the years but they have consistently made great, weird, music for decades. The recent reissue of "Headdress" from Three Lobed Recordings throws back hard to the sound of the band 20 years ago but it could well have been recorded last week. Or next. Grip that here. Or go to the Sunburned Bandcamp page and check out "Archive Dive" which contains the fuller excerpt of the excerpt played on the show as well as a few other live cuts which, you'll find, are not the same as what I presented. That's who these guys are; an ungoverned morass of sound and spirit. Ride along or get off the bus. Get Archive Dive or, even better, their entire digital discography for the cost of an album at subunrnedhandoftheman.bandcamp.com. Spiral Joy Band is a long running group leaning here with their traditional instruments into the outer realms. Making spiritual, meditational, music with traditional instruments is not new but it's a zone they homesteaded upon for some time as their existence and personnel intertwine through the years with Pelt. This latest is called "In The River" and is a bit of an homage to Paul Metzger (get to know him!) whom they had just seen perform when this was put to tape. You can grip the LP via bandcamp  SpiralJoyBand.Bandcamp.com or from the label, Feeding Tube Records. Lastly but by no means least, Mike Gangloff  (Pelt, Black Twig Pickers, Eight Point Star) has released a beautiful solo album; his first for some time; entitled "Evening Measures". Released by VHF Records, "Evening Measures" cleaves closer to traditional than the selections above but still leans into drone capturing a unique work of beauty. This one is out now and has done many a turn on my turntable. Get yours from VHF Records. The Brokedown Podcast is part of Osiris Media.

Eli Winter returns! Previously appearing in a short chat for ep 47, he's back for a full length interview and an amazing new self-titled album.

Greetings, Dead Freaks!We're back with a great conversation with guitarist and deep improv musiv head, Joel Berk. Berk releases deep guitar-based zones under the name ragenap. We talk about his work and its origins before diving into a bit of a discussion about Chicago's improv music scene and, of course Grateful Dead. in and around the interview, we sample some ragenap and one of his more recent releases leads of a deep mix of Dead jams and songs. You can find Berk's music at the easy to recall link, ragenap.bandcamp.com. I strongly recommend the albums, Thankruptcy, No Ear To Hear (a split with Prana Crafter), and the most recent: Thriving Culture. You'll also find a wide array of "covers" tracks inspired by various songs, many of which may be familiar. I haven't found one that I didn't like but I will recommend a couple favorites: "shenandoah", "piper (intro)", and "days between". The Brokedown Podcast is also part of Osiris Media.

Greetings Dead Freaks! I am very pleased to have guitarist William Tyler on the show. We sat down and spoke a few weeks ago about som many things including, starting out in Nashville, his earliest band, joining Lambchop & The Silver Jews, his first solo ventures and some of his latest work. Naturally, we bring it around to Grateful Dead. After the chat, you'll hear a track from the latest release, "Lost Futures", a collaboration with Marisa Anderson. All that is followed by an excellent selection of Grateful Dead. Marisa Anderson & William Tyler's "Lost Futures" is available, along with most of Tyler's releases, on his Bandcamp page, williamtyler.bandcamp.com, and wherever records are sold. I have all of these records and I sincerely believe that you should too. The new LP release of PG Six & Louis Bock's "All Summer Long Is Gone" is available now from Feeding Tube Records via  feedingtuberecords.com. Lastly, my own new album, "Slips, Trips, & Falls" out now and available on most digital outlets that don't end in "tify".

Greetings Dead Freaks! In this episode we welcome PG Six (aka  Pat Gubler) to the show to talk about his latest release, "PG Six / Louise Bock - All Summer Long Is Gone". But that's just a sliver of the ground we cover as he's not only an active member of Garcia Peoples and Wet Tuna, but there's more than twenty years of work to discuss! The conversation is augmented and followed by a few selections from his more recent work before I spin a nice slab of Grateful Dead. "All Summer Long Is Gone" is a duo album billed as PG Six / Louise Bock and is available on cassette from Feeding Tube Records  here. The solo, live, album PG Six "Live At the Tavern" is also available from Feeding Tube Records. It's on vinyl as was as a digital download via Bandcamp.

Greetings Dead Freaks! Here on the latest episode, I speak with Steve Gunn about his latest album, "Other You", the benefits of collaboration, and moving effortlessly between songcraft and improvised music. You'll hear a cut from the new record as well as a hefty slab of Grateful Dead. "Other You" is out now on Matador Records. You can find it wherever records are sold and/or streamed as well as on the Matador Record Website and Steve Gunn's bandcamp: stevegunn.bandcamp.com. His most recent Gunn/Truscinski Duo album, Soundkeeper, can be found via Three Lobed Recordings, also on bandcamp. Steve Gunn's thoughts on the passing of Michael Chapman can be found on the always excellent Aquarium Drunkard: here. As I mentioned on the show, please don't hesitate to reach out, via email, twitter, or in the comments below, if you have listening recommendations  from the current Dead & Co. tour. I look forward to hearing from you. Allow me to remind you that the Brokedown Podcast is part of the Osiris Media.

Greetings Dead Freaks!This week I have Jen Powers & Mathew Rolin of the Powers/Rolin Duo on the show. We talk about improvised music, their work as a duo, individually, and their new album with Jayson Gerycz (Cloud Nothings). After our chat, I spin a lengthy mix of Grateful Dead because, what could be better? "Lamplighter" from Gerycz/Powers/Rolin is out on Friday, September 3 and you can get your copy via Bandcamp. Their previous release, "Beacon" can also be found on Bandcamp at this link. Both are outstanding and highly recommended. You can also grip the terrific record from the Powers/Rolin Duo, "Strange Fortune" from this Bandcamp page.  Matthew Rolin cites his own bandcamp page a couple times, and I think he's referring to this one.  That's a lot of links.  Allow me to remind you that the Brokedown Podcast is part of the Osiris Media.
