NSTS Episode 224 – Barney Bentall

Back by popular demand! The great Barney Bentall returns to NSTS this week to talk about his new instrumental record called RanchWriters, a collaboration with his Spirit of the West pal Geoffrey Kelly. 

There are hints of Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake on the new record, and Barney and I discuss how the project came together, the details of how it was recorded on his ranch, and how it’s a tribute to the memory to Spirit of the West’s John Mann. Barney’s skin vibrating songs are, of course, also included.

NSTS Episode 223 – W. Axl Rose Part II: The Feel

Last week we looked at Guns N’ Roses singer W. Axl Rose from a factual, historical viewpoint of his life and career. This week we go beyond that, and take a closer look at Rose from a more personal perspective. Not just as a musician, but as an influential pop culture icon. 

In other words, last week we talked what the music sounds like. This week, we talk about how it feels.
