#089 - Fearless | How It Started, How It’s Going | Bonamasso & Wong

This week on “Tay-Tay Today”, Nick brings us a list of the records Ms. Swift broke in the past week. Releasing her first of six albums she’ll be re-recording, Fearless debuted at Number 1 on the charts… which makes the first time a re-recorded album has reached #1. She became the only female with 3 #1 albums within a year & each of her last three albums
Song: Greta Van Fleet - “Built By Nations”

Greg brings out a new bit called “How It Started, How It’s Going”, where we discuss artists that were bigger solo than the band that made them famous.
Songs:

• Heatmiser - “Blackout” -> Elliot Smith - “Coast to Coast”

• Velvet Underground - “Beginning to See The Light” -> Lou Reed - “Vicious”

• Faces - “Had Me A Real Good Time” <- Rod Stewart - “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy”

Jay enjoyed a recent episode from the podcast “Wong Notes” so much that we’re talking about it on the show! Cory Wong, from Vulfpeck, speaks with famous guitarists about their craft. The episode up for discussion featured blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa. Jay was particularly interested to discuss Joe’s deep appreciation for vintage gear & the rationale behind Joe’s decision to rent each venue for his tour and handle ticket sales & promotion on his own.
Song: Tony Joe White - “Boot Money”
