I'd Buy That For A Dollar

Michigan-based musician Fred Thomas joins us to listen to this 1970 album by American singer-songwriter Jackie DeShannon. This record comes hot on the heels of her biggest hit song, "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," and is an excellent exhibit for her skills as both a songwriter and performer.

Co-host Jeremy emphasizes his love for guitar shredders by spinning us one of the many records by Spanish flamenco guitarist Carlos Montoya. We detail the history of flamenco and examine why his playing was considered unorthodox within the genre.

Lauren Raham returns to the podcast with a copy of the self-titled debut from English-American rock band the Pretenders. We forgo popular tracks like "Brass in Pocket" and "Stop Your Sobbing" in favor of focusing on the reckless punk abandon of the record, which may surprise listeners only familiar with their hits.

Co-host Jeremy takes us into the whimsical world of British psychedelic folk act the Incredible String Band. While their earlier, more celebrated work tends to be priced higher, this 1971 album is generally priced very affordably. We listen to some choice cuts as we detail highlights from the band's career such as their forgotten appearance at Woodstock.

Musician and healing arts practitioner Bethany Carder joins us to discuss the music of American flutist and composer Kay Gardner. A pioneering figure in women's music, Gardner was also instrumental in the development of sound healing as a practice.

Taylor Rowley returns to help us shine the spotlight on multimedia artist Yoko Ono. Known to the general public for her wildly experimental music and art in association with her late husband John Lennon, this album finds Yoko processing her grief in the immediate aftermath of his death. Her singing and the musical arrangements here are more gentle and restrained than most might expect.

Co-host Sean decides that now is the time to focus our lens on experimental duo Godley & Creme. We previously discussed the group when we featured their former band 10cc way back in Season 1, but now we give them our full, undivided attention and explore how such a strange album could be released on a major label.

Co-host Peter highlights the second solo offering from Modern Lovers/Talking Heads keyboardist Jerry Harrison. We give a lot of attention to the various players on this record as well as the unique circumstances under which this album was created.
