#14 - Lyrically Delicious

Jay and Deon discuss some of their favorite musical wordsmiths, all of whom exhibit an uncanny ability to render a tune lyrically delicious in this very special episode of Lightnin’ Licks Radio. Lyrics are often responsible for reeling a listener in by connecting an artist with their audience through emotional disclosure, empathetic musings, or abbreviated storytelling. Join the boys as they sing the praises of ten specific songs featuring wonderful words while throwing some appreciation towards the verses and hooks as much as the riffs and licks. Lyrics. It’s much of what we, as fans, adore most about the musicians we admire.
