Grace Potter makes her Record Store Day Podcast debut to talk about her new album that is actually seventeen years old. In 2008, the Vermont-born, singer songwriter, and front person for Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, collaborated with the legendary T-Bone Burnett on a solo departure called Medicine, featuring Burnett and a crew of side players including Jim Keltner, Marc Ribot, Dennis Crouch, and Keefus Ciancia. It was a solid set and a bold personal statement but, at the time, Hollywood Records shelved the album indefinitely to concentrate on furthering her work with the Nocturnals. But now, it's finally seeing the light of day, and Grace graced us with the inside story on Medicine's long, long journey to the racks of your local independent record store.

Bob Mould
With Record Store Day 2025 in the books, we continue to feature some of the talented recording artists who make the records; and this week we have one of the all-time greats.

Bob has continued to record as a solo singer/songwriter who consistently delivers edgy and emotional guitar rock, which brings us to the topic of today's episode, Mould's 15th solo album, the recently released Here We Go Crazy (Granary Music / BMG) which finds Bob's signature blistering guitar and urgent vocals once again backed by his powerful and long-serving rhythm section of Jason Narducy on bass, and friend of the show, Jon Wurster on the drums.

But first, Paul takes a moment to pay his respects to two of his musical heroes who left us this past week; bassist Dave Allen (Gang Of Four, Shriekback), and celebrated drummer Clem Burke (Blondie, Eurythmics, and more.)

Parker talks about working with his L.A. based quartet, which features bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose, and saxophone player, Josh Johnson, but we also look back at his highly musical time in the windy city of Chicago, where he first made a name for himself with groups such as Tortoise.

Celebrating The Tragically Hip (with Rob Baker and filmmaker Mike Downie)
Paul goes home to Canada for Christmas, and the maple syrup is flowing. We close out 2024 with a snow-covered treat, a special celebration of Record Store Day Canada's Ambassadors for 2024, The Tragically Hip. Celebrating their 40th year, the band were the subject of a retrospective 4-part Amazon Prime documentary, The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal, and a commemorative book, This Is Our Life. Paul chats with No Dress Rehearsal director Mike Downie (brother of The Hip's late lead singer Gord Downie), and then guitarist and founding member Rob Baker. There's even a (singing) cameo from Feist! If you love The Hip already, it's a celebration, if you don't know them, it's an education. Happy New Year!

Ben Folds
This holiday season, the singer/songwriter, piano player, and all around musical overachiever Ben Folds released an album called Sleigher (in stores now from New West Records). It's not so much a "Ben Folds Christmas record" as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas. For this episode, which makes its debut on Christmas Eve, Paul chats with Ben about what went into the album, and detours into dogs, inflatable lawn Santas, the magic of Burt Bacharach, and what it means to be a human music maker in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Steve Perry Celebrates "The Season"

Steve Perry Celebrates "The Season"
As Christmas nears, we caught up with the legendary rock vocalist Steve Perry, a certified Rock & Roll Hall of Famer who first made his name as the former lead singer for Journey before going on to a successful solo career with era-defining '80s hits like "Oh Sherrie" and "Foolish Heart." The occasion for this chat is the release of Perry's Holiday themed album of sentimental standards, The Season 3 (his first for Dark Horse Records). Since Steve doesn't do many interviews, Paul seized the opportunity to ask Perry about singing for the late great Quincy Jones on "We Are The World," or the story behind Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" ending up in the finale of HBO's The Sopranos. Paul even made sure to ask Steve to weigh in on the whole Yacht Rock discourse.
