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.

EPYSODE 68: Swaddling Songs, by Mellow Candle. Guest: Mellow Candle's Alison O'Donnell. Additional commentary by my twin brother Maurice. This week we drop the needle on a true cult classic. Released in 1972 and largely overlooked in its time, this singular album has since become a holy grail of British folk-rock, revered for its mysticism and haunting beauty. Led by the spellbinding voices of Clodagh Simonds and Alison Williams (now Alison O'Donnell), Mellow Candle fused pastoral folk with progressive rock flourishes, baroque arrangements, and flashes of jazz and classical influence. Tracks like “Sheep Season” and “Dan the Wing” unfold with dramatic, almost otherworldly crescendos. With Alison's help, we explore the story behind the band, the circumstances that shaped Swaddling Songs, and why it vanished so quickly after its release, only to be rediscovered decades later by collectors and crate diggers. Light a candle, settle in, and join us as Vinyl Relics revisits one of the most enchanting lost records of the early ’70s. I hope you dig Swaddling Songs as much as I do. -Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check out all of Alison's music here: https://alisonodonnell.bandcamp.com   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0jtVg6Mft71ZW9Niixuma1?si=f05d853ad16b44cb *denotes track is not available on Spotify.

This edition of the DBG Times covers a wide range of rock and metal history, along with notable Rockstar Deathdays honoring Phil Lynott, Neil Peart, Steve Clark, Eddie Clarke, Sylvain Sylvain, and John Sykes. Looking back 10 years to 2016, the show revisits releases from Black Sabbath and Megadeth, including Sabbath’s final studio-era material and Megadeth’s well-received return to a heavier, more classic sound. From 2001, we highlight Turn 21 by The Donnas, an album that helped solidify their identity and garner more recognition. Going back 30 years to 1996, the discussion includes albums from Accept and Mr. Big, reflecting a challenging era as traditional hard rock and metal faced shifting trends. At 35 years (1991), we touch on notable releases by David Lee Roth, Drivin' N Cryin', and Motörhead, showcasing the variety of sounds coming out of the early ’90s. Looking at 1986, we revisit Seventh Star by Black Sabbath and the long-delayed debut of White Lion, two releases with very different paths and outcomes. From 1981, the episode covers peak-era albums by 38 Special, April Wine, and Styx, all enjoying major commercial success during this period. Jumping back 50 years to 1976, we discuss releases from Bad Company and Grand Funk Railroad, each facing internal and external challenges at different points in their careers. Wrapping up the historical portion at 55 years (1971), we explore early albums from ZZ Top, Mountain, Lucifer's Friend, and Dust, capturing the formative years of heavy rock and metal. The episode also includes a rundown of new rock and metal releases, featuring recent albums from Alter Bridge, Bullet, Kreator, Gluecifer, Helix, and a final studio release tied to the farewell era of Megadeth.

We like women. Not in a creepy way...we mean we really like music created by women. So, in our ongoing series of episodes celebrating women in alternative music, this week we are covering our top 5 women-led albums of the 1990s. Appropriately enough, our Third Lads this week are a dynamic duo who "lived through this" and are inspired by this music - Julie Exter and Andrea Tarka White from Philly-based rock band Gun-Shy Butterfly! They currently have four singles that exemplify what the band has dubbed "bubble grunge" - a combination of sugary melodies and crunchy hooks that would have been right at home on mid-90s alternative radio. We hit it off right away with Andrea & Julie...we love 'em and we know you will too! But wait...there's also discussions about: tattoos, Higglytown Heroes, Nairing...uh...various areas, Goldschlager and comics, flip-flops (yes, again), our new grunge band Grotesque Quiche, hologram Jewel, hosers, Easttown accents, Julie's music/comedy podcast Rock'n'LOL, and much more. Oh, and guess what? A brand new O3L game called "Riot Grrrl Riot" - in which our contestants (and host) receive their very own riot grrrl names. As Kim deal would say to Gregg, "ugh!" Songs: Gun-Shy Butterfly - "Dark Side" Gun-Shy Butterfly - "Manchild" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
