They delved into the creative process behind the album, which Scott proudly considers their best work yet. He shared insights into the band's journey of capturing their essence in music, the conceptual nature of the album, and the collaborative efforts that brought it to life. Scott also gave a fascinating look into the album's artwork, created by his older brother, and the story behind the captivating cover image of an albino deer.

In this episode, the hosts had the pleasure of welcoming the incredibly talented Jon Tyler Wiley from Jon Tyler Wiley and his Virginia Choir. The conversation kicked off with a light-hearted and humorous tone as they navigated through a minor mix-up about Wiley's participation in the Rock by the Sea event, which led to some playful banter about unexpected gig announcements.Wiley shared insights into his busy schedule, hinting at exciting developments and reflecting on the bustling year he's had. The discussion took a deeper dive as they explored significant events coinciding with their meeting, such as surviving a tornado and experiencing an eclipse, which Wiley humorously noted he wasn't too keen on.A significant portion of the conversation centered around Wiley's new record, "Pictures in the Dark," released on March 28th. Wiley expressed his relief and excitement about the album's release, describing it as a snapshot of his life during the pandemic. He detailed the creative process behind the album, revealing that while some songs had been in the works for years, many were born out of the recent global upheaval, capturing the essence of his experiences and emotions during that time.One of the most poignant moments of the episode was Wiley's discussion about the song "Flowers," which he described as the most personal song he has ever written. The song was inspired by his and his wife's painful journey through miscarriages, capturing the essence of grief and support they experienced. Wiley's candidness about such a personal and often taboo subject touched on the universal themes of loss and the healing power of community and shared experiences.Listeners also got a glimpse into Wiley's life beyond music. He gave them a virtual tour of his studio, filled with memorabilia, instruments, and even a foosball table, painting a picture of a space that is both a creative haven and a personal retreat.As the episode wrapped up, Wiley reflected on the impact of his music on listeners, particularly how songs like "Flowers" resonate with others who have faced similar hardships. He shared his appreciation for the music community, especially the unique connections formed through events like the Rock Boat music festival.Overall, the episode was not only an exploration of Jon Tyler Wiley's latest musical achievements but also a deep and meaningful conversation about life, creativity, and coping with the challenges that life throws our way.

Episode # 197 Rock Bassist Billy Sheehan talks The Winery Dogs III Album, Songwriting, Tour, Yamaha Bass and more! While the all-out smokin' opening track and lead single “Xanadu,” title might evoke different imagery in more progressive-leaning listening circles, KOTZEN's zen-seeking, hard-rocking ruminations on “Xanadu” once again shine a light on the eternal power of good collaboration. “Coming out of the gates, that's a barnburner,” acknowledges PORTNOY. “It's one of the fiercest tracks on the album.” Incidentally, eagle ears will also delight in picking up on how definitively PORTNOY drops his drumsticks right as the song concludes. “At the end there, you're hearing me toss my sticks — not in frustration, but very much in satisfaction of what we had just done,” he clarifies with a laugh. From the clarion call for connection and societal understanding in “Mad World” to the door-opening personal realizations of “Breakthrough” to the undeniable muscle-flexing reign of the white-hot “Pharaoh” and the album-closing energy spillage of “The Red Wine,” all 50-plus minutes of III prove THE WINERY DOGS haven't lost a step when it comes to conjuring fresh hooks, gutbucket grooves, and bold harmonies. That said, it's been a long road back to the collective compound for guitarist/vocalist RICHIE KOTZEN, bassist/vocalist BILLY SHEEHAN, and drummer/vocalist MIKE PORTNOY. Back in 2015-16, they hit the road hard together to showcase their mettle as hardcore (you guessed it) road dogs in order to build upon the success of their well-received 2015 sophomore studio effort, HOT STREAK, by touring all across the globe. Eventually, the seasoned trio returned to their respective corners to focus on various other projects for the ensuing next few years. But when that live itch needed another scratching, these three working musicians knew just what they had to do. “We wanted to tour,” KOTZEN confirms succinctly of The Winery Dogs' 22-date run in early 2019 that was appropriately dubbed “Who Let The Dogs Out,” before adding, “We had to get those cylinders firing together once again.” Concurs PORTNOY, “That was a fun little tour that reignited our enthusiasm — and that's also when we knew a third album was definitely in the cards.” Adds SHEEHAN, “Getting back together like that was really refreshing. We could relax a bit and enjoy being together onstage, playing without any pressure. It was a beautiful thing.” Duly reinvigorated, THE WINERY DOGS were finally aligned to record again by initially ensconcing themselves together in KOTZEN's intimate, cozy home studio in Southern California to jam on new material that was mainly created in the moment during many hours of face-to-face musical interaction. Always the driven and intuitive songwriter, KOTZEN displays a definitive M.O. whenever he's working out new songs in the studio by scatting melodies and putting forth short bursts of semi-improvised lines and phrases that will soon enough transform into sharply honed subject matter. “My attitude is this: when I'm in the studio creating new music, the last thing on my mind is, ‘How am I gonna do it live?'” KOTZEN admits. “The reality is, I may never get to where I'll do it live. What's relevant is getting the vision that's in my head, in my heart, and in my soul to come out of the speakers. If it gets to the point where the tour is booked, the dates are confirmed, and we all get back in the rehearsal room together, that's when you figure out, ‘OK, how do I interpret this in a way it can be delivered live, and still be the same song?'” III is the follow-up to the band's critically acclaimed and Billboard-charting album, HOT STREAK, which was released October 2, 2015 on Loud & Proud Records via RED (a division of Sony Music Entertainment). After landing in the Top Five on many of Amazon's pre-order charts, including #1 on the Amazon BestSellers/Hard Rock chart and #1 on the Amazon Pre-Orders/Hard Rock Albums charts, it sold 30% more than their 2013 self-titled debut, landing them on various Billboard album charts including #2 on “Top Current Alternative Albums,” #5 on “Top Current Hard Music” and “Top Hard Music Albums,” #6 on “Top Current Rock Albums” and “Album Core / Genre Rock,” #15 “Top Current Physical Albums,” #16 “Top Current Albums,” and #30 on the “Top 200 Albums” chart.

It's the end of the year and we're breaking down a STELLAR 2022 with Yemi Abiade (Rhymes Like Dimes podcast) - we hit up our annual categories of top albums and songs, as well as our favourite features, verse and artwork. Oh, we also name our MVP of the year too!

My guest for this episode, Dean Johanesen, first appeared on the podcast in July of 2018. This is his third feature on the Unstarving Musician. He has a new album called Cautionary Tales, which is out Feb 3, 2023. This date is also the anniversary of the release of King King (1933). Dean says that this release seems to fit his style perfectly with its influence of swing music ala Django Reinhardt, The Squirrel Nut Zippers, Louis Jordan etc.  With a sonic palette that dips into speakeasy-era Americana, and swingin' Hot Club jazz doused in circus tent hues, the New York-native has made his home in many parts of the United States. Dean's mother delivered motor homes when he was young and the family traveled around listening to a wide range of artists. Hearing everything from Led Zeppelin to Simon and Garfunkel, classic country to Broadway Musicals. That provided the soundtrack of Dean's youth and heavily influenced Dean's interests musically. In 2013, Dean released his first solo record focused on the storyteller songwriting format. Meanwhile, a recent passion for Hot Club jazz music in the vein of Django Reinhardt put him on a musical path of telling new stories of old times.  Non-fictional characters from the '20s and '30s – circus performers, the sideshow, prohibition, the war of currents (Tesla vs. Edison) all inform Dean's writing. These stories are projected against a backdrop of uptempo jazz in a style Dean has coined "Circus Swing." In this conversation we talk about mutual acquaintances, the Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival, Album Artwork Development, Song Reference Files, Journals, Record Release Mode, Balancing Creative Time, The Arc Of Writing A Thematic Album, Writing Press Releases, Framework Of Release Campaign, Heightened Creativity Of Songwriters Festivals and more. "Dean is simultaneously a throwback to an era of gypsy jazz and circuses while pointing the way to what will always be timely" - Steve Huntington, Sirius/XM Radio Margaritaville  You can find all things Dean Johanesen, including stories and songs from his forthcoming album, Cautionary Tales at DeanJohanesen.com.

This is because popular music from the 60s and and 70s (and into the 80s) was primarily released on LPs, which had large covers, which came to act as canvases on which some rather stunning art was made.

Visual artist Doug Dean does the best Album Artwork. For real! Doug did all the artwork for Oblivion (and also Cold War which won Gold at the Pittsburgh Addy award for Integrated Branding) as well as album artwork for Good Charlotte, Anti-Flag, Sleeping with Sirens, Homeless Gospel Choir and more.

"Well he is nothing if not persistent...?!" Ant has one final go at trying to tie up all the loose ends in the story of 1996, choosing to focus this time on Album Artwork, how song publishing works & the decision to use email as a comms tool. And true to form I wanted to talk about my new two bruises, swiping at people with a velvet gauntlet on the village green and the strange north/south divide when it comes to urinal manufacture. Wolverhampton slightly underwhelms in the diary extract, but Manchester delivers on all fronts with the possible exception of a Snowball for the road.

In our 62nd episode, the pod talks all things album artwork. We dig into the good, the bad, the bizarre, and also albums that get enhanced by the the whole artwork presentation. Can a great sounding album be ruined by bad artwork? Is Tool's use of visual artist Alex Grey a cheat code? Is Green Day's ‘Dookie' the best album cover of all time? Or perhaps AFI's ‘The Art of Drowning'? What in the world were Papa Roach thinking with the ‘lovehatetragedy' artwork? We attempt to answer all these and many more in this episode. We open this episode with: a reaction to the recent news of Kurt Cobain's hair going to auction (#weirdnerdery) and a reaction to the “secret” hardcore show that just took place under the 110 Freeway in Los Angeles about a week ago with 2,000 people.

It's our first Episode and we are STOKED!!Join us as we discuss the "old days" of how we first encountered new music and how the album cover artwork influenced some of our purchasing decisions!What were some of your favorite album covers and why? 

For those of us of a certain age, was there anything more relaxing in our years of innocence and escapism than wandering off to the local record store and flipping through countless racks of vinyl LPs? Not for me, at least. I was fortunate enough to have a great place to go hunt for new or sometimes used records and just avoid the responsibilities of my teenage years. The downside was only the spending of money that didn't come easily. The upside was usually an hour's worth of vinyl euphoria once the needle dropped. But which one to choose? What would help me make that difficult decision? The listings of the tracks? Maybe...but almost always it was the beauty of the cover art that would catch my attention and make me explore the album even further. Ah what a life.Join my neighbor Jerry and I as we relive those thrilling days of yesteryear and discuss our personal vinyl collections in terms of the beauty that we found on the covers, which often times matched that of the music itself. Please enjoy our Spotify playlist to hear some of the music we loved, but couldn't squeeze into this episode:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/26OGLsbmRnZoRC5v6wXJNC?si=52f7f3417fd14558

How many of you remember CliffsNotes? Well if you ever had to read a book in school and was too lazy to actually read the novel (that was me), then CliffsNotes was your best friend. Why? Because they gave you a brief synopsis of that 300 plus page book and condensed things down to about 20-30. So what does that have to do with this week's episode? I'm glad you asked. This week we focus on the importance of album artwork. Over the years people have asked me why don't blogs pick up my music? Believe it or not, so of those blogs don't get to your music simply because your artwork is not good. In this episode we go over a few tips on how to create some innovative artwork, along with some basic "need to know" tips to move forward. We also take questions for our audience and leave off with a special announcement. So you know the drill...sit back...Relax and Listen! If you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss or have questions you want answered, send us an email to podcast@str8outdaden.com and we will pick a few to discuss on the show.
