#305 - News with Nick | Jaco’s Word of Mouth | Remembering Rick Derringer & Sly Stone

Nick picks up where he left off last week with another “News with Nick.” Have a few thousand dollars sitting around and always wanted to own something that belonged to David Lynch? Here’s an auction just for you! TayTay buys back her records, and Eminem is suing Instagram (Meta).

Song: Rival Sons - “Thundering Voices”

In recent years, Greg has developed a deeper appreciation for Word of Mouth, Jaco Pastorius’s second solo album. While the record receives mixed reviews—some hearing signs of the personal struggles with addiction and mental health that would later claim Jaco’s life at just 35—Greg has come to believe there's something really special about it. You should give it a few listens and let us know what you think.

Songs:

• Jaco Patorius - “Crisis”

• Jaco Patorius - “Three Views of a Secret”

• Jaco Patorius - “Liberty City”
  

Jay remembers Rick Derringer & Sly Stone. Mr. Derringer, who passed at the age of 77, had a decades long career as a guitarist, songwriter, and producer. Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, in Allmusic, “James Brown may have invented funk, but Sly Stone perfected it." Mr. Stone passed last week at the age of 82.

Songs:

• Steely Dan - “Showbiz Kids”

• Sly & The Family Stone - “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) Live”
