Podcasts about golden country greats

Ryan is joined by Karl from Who Are These Podcasts  @KarlWATP  we take a deep dive into Ween's '12 Golden Country Greats' album. Known for its quirky mix of humor, country vibes, and offbeat charm, this album showcases Ween's unique approach to the country genre. Together, we explore why this album is considered one of Ween's standout works and, in true Worst of the Best fashion, we select the track that we think is the "worst" among these golden greats. Whether you're a Ween fan or just discovering their music, this episode is packed with fun analysis, banter, and a deep appreciation for this iconic album. Join us as we give our thoughts on the highs and lows of this one-of-a-kind album.

Shut the fuck up and listen to Ween's country album. Featuring Ben Vaughn.

This week we're discussing every album by the one and only Ween. Made up of Gene and Dean Ween (real names Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo), Ween is one of the most impossible bands to pigeonhole. Garage rock, funk, folk, hard rock, tropical, pirate sea shanties, prog rock, psychedelic—this is only a taste of all the styles these guys frequently hop between. And they do so with complete sincerity and unmatched songwriting. A one of a kind band.Closing track: “Buckingham Green” from The Mollusk (1997)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike's EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexHistory Tom's stuff:New album on BandcampDebut album on Bandcamp, Spotify, AppleSubstackWebsiteMike's Picks:The Mollusk (1997) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteThe Pod (1991) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:Quebec (2003) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteShinola, Vol. 1 (2005) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…GodWeenSatan: The Oneness (1990)The Pod (1991)Pure Guava (1992)Chocolate and Cheese (1994)12 Golden Country Greats (1996)The Mollusk (1997)White Pepper (2000)Quebec (2003)Shinola, Vol. 1 (2005)La Cucaracha (2007)

This week on Transmissions: producer, television music maker, radio host, and overall interesting guy Ben Vaughn. His new album is called The World of Ben Vaughn. It was released physically on vinyl back on Record Store Day and digitally earlier this month. Rooted in gentle strums,much of its sweetly traditional songcraft was recorded out in Vaughn's Relay Shack studio in the Mojave Desert, and it echoes the most rustic of selections he plays on his great radio show The Many Moods of Ben Vaughn.  Ben's produced albums by Arthur Alexander, Nancy Sinatra, Charlie Feathers, and more—as well as collaborating with Alex Chilton and Alan Vega. For this episode, we spoke about the new album, his work as a Hollywood television music maker, producing Ween's irreverent cult classic 12 Golden Country Greats and much more.

"The Elektra staff had changed completely. They had fired the guy who signed us, and basically everybody else, including the president. They brought in this whole new staff whose introduction to Ween was 12 Golden Country Greats. With them not knowing us, they didn't know if it was a put-on. A lot of people have so many misconceptions about that record. I think they thought it was our way to get out of the deal, which wasn't the case at all. It was something we were proud of and love, plus we had The Mollusk about to drop. They had no idea what to do with the country record, so then it came time for The Mollusk, we were thinking, “This is our greatest record.” We mastered it with Howie Weinberg, sent it in, and I didn't hear from Elektra for two weeks. I finally called the A&R guy, because the suspense was killing me. I said, “What do you think of the new record?” And he said, “What new record?” I yelled, “The new record! The Mollusk!” I heard him fumbling around on his desk and he said, “Oh, here it is.” He hadn't even listened to it for two weeks! At that point, I knew the fucking record was doomed. Jesus Christ! They just gave us two huge advances, and we delivered two albums. I don't know if they thought we were trying to put them on a second time, or someone mentioned, “Those guys did a nautical record.” I was so pissed! This was the best thing we've ever done, and they didn't even care!" ---Mickey Melchiondo AKA Dean Ween (excerpt from "Ween's The Mollusk Turns 20: An Oral History By Mickey Melchiondo") Today it's Brad and Jake with two returning guests: Sam Bronn from the DangerDOOM episode, and Alexandra Derderian from Inspector 34, Sad Milk Collective & Triple Yeah Productions as our month of Inspector 34 continues!!!

Gene and Dean Ween are the best songwriting duo since Jagger and Richards, or Lennon and McCartney, or maybe it's Rogers and Hammerstein. You get the point. They are geniuses. Their canon features hundreds and hundreds of songs played to perfection in every genre. Sometimes these songs are drenched in feedback or feature pitch-adjusted vocals. Other times they play Dylanesque odes to former lovers that are a delicate as an orchid. There are songs about golden eels and children born without eyes. They have half a dozen songs about equine friends. They are as adept at speed-freak metal as they are Irish drinking songs. They even did a full country album. Deaner can wow you with his virtuosity on guitar and Gener could get a four-chair turn on The Voice. Ween can do it all.There is really no sampling of Ween that could give you an adequate understanding of what they are capable of. Nonetheless, here are a bakers' dozen of songs to whet your appetite:"Birthday Boy" from God, Ween, Satan: The Oneness"Dr. Rock" from The Pod"Push th' Little Daisies" and "The Stallion (pt 3)" from Pure Guava"Take Me Away," "Baby Bitch," "Buenas Tardes, Amigo," and "What Deaner Was Talking About" from Chocolate & Cheese"Piss Up a Rope" from 12 Golden Country Greats"The Golden Eel" and "Buckingham Green" from The Mollusk"Stay Forever" from White Pepper"Your Party" from La CucharachaOr you can dive in just about anywhere. The full albums Chocolate & Cheese, The Mollusk, and White Pepper  are the most accessible and consistently great albums, while the others get a little brown. Ween also has tons of "unreleased" music and their concerts are epic.Support the show (https://teespring.com/stores/the-new-dad-rock)

There is only one way for GWE to celebrate its 12th episode, and that is to expose Evan to the band's excellent and oft-overlooked 12 Golden Country Greats album. That, and forcing him to relive and recount the mysterious deaths of his childhood dogs. On top of all of this, in this episode Paul blacks out on an organic pain medication and renounces democracy while Paul, Katie, and Will somehow manage to omit the best song on the album! This episode is dedicated to Grant "The Boognish Monster" Rozmarin. R.I.P. friend... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
