EP. 8-The Legend of Medusa
from Stories About Songs with Kevin Beacham · host Kevin Beacham
If you don’t know about the legend of the Medusa, I'm hoping this episode can change that. Although there is a career spanning many decades, with a trail of great songs, explosive live shows, and continuous dynamic vocal performances, there are far too many who are still in the dark. Regardless, whenever Medusa has an opportunity to wield a microphone, her namesake is earned. Any educated listener is captivated and frozen in time by the sheer vocal dominance, if only for a moment. This episode speaks about the tales of whispered legend about Medusa that I would hear and read about, leading to finally witnessing it with my own ears, and eventually leading to an unforgettable moment where she became one of my favorite performers, as well as secured her place as one of those artists who I’m permanently tuned in to, curious as to what they shall do next. Unfortunately, her relatively limited catalog is not easily accessible on the internet, including most of the songs that I talk about in the podcast, hopefully, that will eventually change. In the meantime, for those that want to dig deeper, I suggest tracking these down: -Feline Science-Power of the P (early 90s) -Feline Science-How To Serve Man (early 90s) -Medusa-You Better Be! (‘97) -Medusa-It’s A Gift (‘97) -Medusa & Aceyalone-Yes (‘99) -Nobody featuring Medusa-Fiend Or the Fix (‘00) -Medusa-Cold Piece Of Work (‘02) -Medusa-My Momma Raised A G (‘02) -This Kid Named Mile featuring Medusa-New Definition (‘04)
