In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re talking about covers – those magical moments where one artist takes another’s song and makes it their own…Wait, we said that in the monologue of last episode. Well it’s true! We had so many songs to talk about that we decided to jump back into the trenches and talk about more of those moments where one artist grabs a song and turns it upside down, inside out, or straight into gold…or garbage. We still have a lot to say on this topic since we didn’t get to discuss Jeff Buckley’s haunting version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, Manfred Mann having a number one hit with a Springsteen song while Springsteen has never had a number one hit himself, Weezer and Toto covering each other, Whitney Houston’s enormous hit with a Dolly Parton song, and more.  And as always, we’ve got some thoughts on music news and a song to send to the electric chair. It’s our first ever two part episode so sit your butt down and turn that volume UP.  Episode Playlist Check out our ⁠⁠⁠episode playlist here⁠. ⁠⁠ Get In Touch Check us out⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠online⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or drops us an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠show@prisonersofrockandroll.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

After their debut album, The Firm, hit gold in the US in 1985, fans figured that Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers would tour to support it and not only play songs off the album but also include hits from their back catalogs. While expecting reworked Led Zeppelin and Bad Company songs, they instead got songs from Paul Rodgers 1983 solo album Cut Loose and Jimmy's Death Wish II soundtrack. Then, Jimmy's performance with his old LZ bandmates at Live Aid was considered an outright disaster. Everyone figured the 2nd Firm album would be Jimmy finally putting on his old Guitar God robes and delivering what they'd been waiting for. Unfortunately, Mean Business never really lived up to the fans expectations and though there were a few flashes, the guitar heroics were missing. Despite the extraordinary work of bassist Tony Franklin, whose writing contribution Dreaming is a standout on the album, it was as if Jimmy was just going through the motions. Though Paul's voice is as strong and rich as ever, most of the lyrics weren't very deep or super relatable. The steady hand of UAWIL guest Chris Slade on the drums gave everyone the space to do what they wanted but for Jimmy, it wasn't inspiring. You saw glimpses in the solo on Live in Peace and on a couple of others but if you were waiting for Jimmy to cut loose, well it never really happened. There are highlights like All The Kings Horses which hit #1 on the US rock charts for 4 weeks in early 1986 and the closer Spirit of Love lets everyone do their thing. Fortune Hunter is rifftastic in getting the album going but there's a slow down around 3:30 that kills the momentum. Cadillac is so long and murky that it's almost unlistenable - why did they choose that as the second song? Eventually, all involved went on to do other things as members of supergroups always do. It was an incredible lineup but they just couldn't capture the magic that fans were hoping for when they learned about The Firm.

Few artists get the opportunity to revisit their first solo album with the benefit of time and perspective. In this conversation, Warren Haynes reflects on the 30-year reissue of Tales Of Ordinary Madness and why revisiting the record mattered now. Haynes discusses defining his solo voice outside of his band work, choosing a metal-leaning label for a deeply personal album, and why the previously unreleased track “Tear Me Down” was left off the original release. He also reflects on Chuck Leavell’s role in shaping the record and how distance from the era allowed the album to be heard as originally intended. The conversation expands into writing “Desiree” for the TV series Landman, building theme-based live shows (including an all-Black Sabbath night in Atlanta), playing with Roger Glover and Deep Purple, honoring Bob Weir’s musical legacy, the current state of Gov’t Mule in 2026, and life outside music — including Warren’s growing appreciation for hockey. 00:00 Intro Tease03:20 Defining His Solo Voice on Tales Of Ordinary Madness05:48 Choosing a Metal Label for a Solo Album09:57 Why “Tear Me Down” Was Left Off the Original Release11:40 Chuck Leavell’s Role in Shaping the Record18:47 Writing “Desiree” for the TV Series Landman24:34 Theme-Based Live Shows & Playing Black Sabbath in Atlanta26:01 Playing with Roger Glover & Deep Purple26:37 Honoring Bob Weir’s Musical Legacy29:46 Gov’t Mule in 2026: Lineup, Health & Future Plans33:10 Life Outside Music & Discovering Hockey Learn more about your ad choices.
