Today we wrap up Jazz Appreciation Month with GlenDronach 12-year scotch and Yamazaki 12-year Japanese whisky, as we share a legend who was gone far too soon- Clifford Brown. Few may know his name, but Brown was perhaps the greatest jazz trumpet player of all time when he was killed in a car accident at the age of 25. Join us as we learn about his life, his lasting legacy, and the music we're lucky enough to enjoy.

The Life and Times of Dewey Cox
Today we walk hard in honor of Bob's birthday. Frizz pours some cognac and Bob pours Old Louisville's new Cognac-finished whiskey as we talk about one of the all-time greats, Dewey Cox. Learn how a poor, smell-blind boy from Alabama became a major influence on Johnny Cash, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan, all while seemingly inventing punk music, hosting a variety show, never paying for drugs, and creating the idea of "shmusic." It's time to open your mind, learn to play the theremin, and walk hard.

St. Patrick's Day, U2, & The Unforgettable Fire
Frizz and Bob celebrate St. Patrick's Day by diving into the early career of the iconic Irish rock band, U2, and the album that changed their sound forever: The Unforgettable Fire. Join us as Frizz drinks Writers Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey and Bob drinks Rare Hare Lucky Bastard 30 Year Old as we discuss how U2 went from a Dublin kitchen to a multi album deal on Island Records in just 4 short years. We see them grow from post-punk into arena rock titans before making the decision to completely reinvent their sound with producer Brian Eno. We also learn who just might be Bob's least favorite band ever.

Carole King, Tapestry
Today, Frizz and Bob FINALLY dive into one of the best written and sold records of all time, Carole King's Tapestry. Frizz poured Knob Creek Bourbon and Bob enjoyed a single barrel of Yellowstone Bourbon as we learned about some gross idiot royals, how Carole's LA friends pushed her to be the star she became, and her never-ending legend as a writer- all while trying not to go tumblin' down, tumblin' down.
Frizz and Bob bring you a boozy podcast about all the untold stories behind your favorite music and the artists behind them... while drinking whiskey so you don't have to. Cheers!
