Love That Album Episode 197 - The Everly Brothers' "Roots"
The early years of rock and roll are remembered (among many other artists) for the hip thrusts of Elvis, the guitar styles and lyricism of Chuck Berry, the song craft of Buddy Holly, the vocal blend of The Platters and the extroversion of Little Richard. Doo wop, rockabilly, rhythm and blues were...

Love That Album Episode 196 - Another Interview with Don Walker
3 years ago, I was rapt to welcome one of the greatest working songwriters in Australia to the podcast, Don Walker. Mostly known for his songwriting and piano playing for Cold Chisel, he's also done two albums under the Catfish moniker, been a member of supergroup Tex, Don & Charlie, and made…

Love That Album Podcast Episode 195 - Grayson Gilmour's "No Constellation" and Shake Yer Popboomerang 4
I try to plan my podcasts in such a way that it looks like I know what I'm doing. This is one such episode that may give you pause for thought.... I'd made a list of albums I wanted to discuss this year. Since that list was written on a scrappy piece of paper and not in a spreadsheet saved on my...

Love That Album Podcast Episode 194 - Shane Pacey's "Cross Of The Heart"
LTA episodes are not usually filled with stories of soldiers suffering PTSD while on R&R, working women who have to leave their children late at night, mobsters who were guilty of violent crimes, strip clubs, police corruption or the gentrification of Kings Cross…..but here we go…. Welcome to...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 193 - Interview with Peter Luscombe
There are very few artists who can claim popularity in one decade, then claim it all over again with a new band or approach to music. In Australia in the 1970s, Joe Camilleri was a huge draw with his band Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons. They created a blend of R&B and reggae that worked well, and were…

Love That Album Podcast Episode 192 - Eels' "Electro-Shock Blues"
It’s been a few months since the release of a new LTA podcast…a lot has happened in my life that meant I had to stand back from the show – not for the first time in its (nearly) 15 year existence….yet, I come back because discussing music with fellow music lovers, and putting those discussions…

Love That Album Podcast Episode 191 - Wolfmother
I'm taking a break this month, so my great friend and fellow music obsessive Dave Blom has come to the rescue. He realised that the LTA audience needed their monthly dose of music discussion that thousands of other music podcasts couldn't provide.... Welcometo episode 191 of Love That Album. Dave...

Love That Album Episode 190 - Favourite Musical Discoveries of 2025
Here we are at the end of another year. I won't pretend it was wonderful....part of it was downright horrible to be honest. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, two things made me happy – the kindness of some people and wonderful music. Love That Album is all about the music. Welcome to episode 190 of Love That...

Love That Album Podcast Episode 189 - Interview with Graham 'Buzz' Bidstrup
Chances are if you have ever been asked “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?” and you answered “No Way. Get F#$*ed. F#$* Off”, it means: (a) You're a fan of The Angels, (b) You're insensitive, or (c) You're both. Welcome to episode 189 of Love That Album podcast. I'm joined by genuine Australian...
-
Love That Album Episode 188 - Blues-a-thon
Blues music means different things to different people. The popular image is of a guitarist playing 12-bar blues of the 1-4-5 variety singing about his or her troubled life. This doesn't take into consideration songs of lust, politics, travel or any subject really that doesn't involve the...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 187 - Steeleye Span "Commoners Crown"
It’s well known that the 1960s had seen a revival of interest in the US and the UK in folk music – most particularly in its crossover to more contemporary styles. In the UK, traditional folk music preservation, academia and performance had long been part of the culture, but by the 1960s it seems...
-
Love That Album - Bonus Episode - First Episode Redux - Bruce Springsteen "Wild Innocent" vs "Darkness"
In July 2011 (14 years ago as I write this), I recorded episode 1 of Love That Album podcast. The period wasn't ground zero for podcasts, but it was still early days, and people were still asking, “What's a podcast?” At the time, there seemed to be very little in the way of music discussion…

Love That Album Episode 186 - Interview with Cary Baker about the book "Down On The Corner: Adventures In Busking And Street Music"
It's been said that the mark of a great city is how it promotes the arts. Thinking specifically about busking or street performing, some cities actively encourage musicians to perform in parks, streets, and other outdoor surrounds. THAT is a town devoted to the arts. Welcome to episode 186 of…
more -
Love That Album Episode 185 - You Am I "Deliverance"
The 1990s was a particularly exciting time in Australian rock music. The musical movements that started in the US and the UK in the 90s have been well documented (particularly in reference to certain bands), but not so much has been written about the purple patch of creativity that took place in...

Love That Album Podcast episode 184 - Record Store Memories Part 2
For those who haven't caught up with episode 183 of LTA, I came up with the idea of speaking with a range of previous guests from the show (musicians, podcasters, TV and radio broadcasters) to talk with me about their earliest recollections of walking into the sacred temple that is a record / CD...
-
Love That Album 183 - Record Store Memories Part 1
Being music fans (especially of a....ummm...certain age), we've all been in a record or CD store as a regular. I like to think that the best record stores I've been in are like walking into Cheers – everybody knows your name, and will treat you as family, be it dysfunctional or not. Welcome to...
-
Love That Album Episode 182 - Bob Dylan's "New Morning"
How many podcasts must a listener download before they can hear about Bob Dylan? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind......actually it's probably anytime you damn well like. Welcome to episode 182 of Love That Album podcast. There are tons of Bob Dylan specialist podcasts out…

Love That Album episode 181 - Favourite Albums of ECM
We've come to the end of another year at LTA headquarters. Normally, I'd be doing a wrap up with friends in the music community as to their favourite discoveries of the year.......I wasn't feeling like doing that this year. If there's one thing that's consistent with this podcast, it's...
-
Love That Album Episode 180 - The Beach Boys "Sunflower" and "Surf's Up"
Time to get your surfboards waxed, get into your togs,and head to the beach.....if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. While you're splashing in the southern waves, you might want to soundtrack your time with music from the band most identified with Northern Hemisphere beaches....except we're not...
-
Love That Album 179 - Interview with Glen Humphries, author of "Aussie Rock Anthems: The Stories Behind Our Biggest Hit Songs"
As music lovers, we've all had a soundtrack to our lives....it's provided to us by the radio. Maybe at this point in the 21st century, that's less of a given. Was it the internet that killed the radio star? Who can truly say, but for most of the rock era, radio has provided songs that millions of...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 178 - Three Random Albums
In some previous episodes, rather than speaking about a single album for a long time, myself (and maybe a guest) will speak about 3 albums each for a short time In some previous episodes, rather than having a guest to chat with me about music, I'll carry on by myself. I'm not a fan of this…

Love That Album 177 - Discussion with Georgia Rose Lucas, Carla Fuchs and John Penhallow about Sandy Denny
Sorry for this episode being a little late….I’d meant to get it out earlier, but who knows where the time goes????? If you’ve not deserted me…..Welcome to episode 177 of Love That Album. Carrying on with the Fairport Convention connection of episode 176, I welcome three wonderful guests to the...
-
Love That Album Episode 176 - Interview with Richard Thompson
I could write a lengthy blurb for this episode of the show as I normally do, or I could just say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I present my interview with Richard Thompson”......what's that? You need more? Okay. Welcome to episode 176 of Love That Album. If you've listened to early episodes of the show...
-
Love That Album Episode 175 - Grace Jones "Nightclubbing"
In the history of pop music, how often has a performer had the chance to try something radically different from what they were known for? Sure, there are some artists who evolved over the course of their career, so where they ended up was radically different from where they started. I suspect,...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 174 - Yes "Close To The Edge"
When the history of late 70s punk music is discussed, a point often raised is that bands like The Sex Pistols and the Damned and The Saints were reacting to the over complexity of prog bands. Certainly, it makes for a good quote, but Steve Jones is on the record as being a fan of Fleetwood Mac…

Love That Album episode 173 - Favourite musical discoveries of 2023, Part 2
Welcome to episode 173 of Love That Album. In episode 172, I started my investigation of what were the favourite albums of the year from some great music writers and broadcasters. If you haven't caught up with that one, check out what Brian Nankervis, Jeff Jenkins and Pat Monaghan had to say (as...

Love That Album episode 172 - Favourite musical discoveries of 2023 Part 1
Welcome to episode 172 of Love That Album. It's December, so once again, it's time for me to reach out to 5 wonderful music media people in Melbourne to discuss with me their favourite music for 2023 – new or old (but recently discovered). As per usual, these magnificent people I admire brought...
-
Love That Album Episode 171 - Ben Folds "Rockin' The Suburbs"
We tend to think more of the guitar as a rock and roll instrument, but Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Fats Domino were a big part of the early sound of rock and roll. While there are plenty of great rock piano players, that lead guy or gal mostly tends to be playing a six-string. In the 70s...
-
Love That Album Episode 170 - Suzanne Vega "99.9F"
There are some artists who make a career of changing their musical styles between albums. They took risks to remain artistically relevant or just because they don’t want to repeat themselves. David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Wilco, The Beatles, John Cale, XTC are all examples…..a ton of others could be...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 169 - Interview with Pauline Bailey, author of Blues Portrait – A Profile of the Australian Blues Scene
Buddy Guy put out an album in 1991 called Damn Right I Got The Blues. The song sounds like so much of a form of catharsis. However, blues can also represent a form of celebration. There's pre-war country blues, jump blues, swamp blues.... There's blues styles from Chicago, Texas, Louisiana and...
-
Love That Album 168 - Interview with David Hepworth about “Abbey Road: The Inside Story of the World’s Most Famous Recording Studio”
The process of recording music in 2023 has changed drastically to what it was in the latter half of the 20th century.....sort of. Sure, musicians can go in to a recording studio with an engineer and record in a way not dissimilar to the days of old. However, as technology changed inside...
-
Love That Album Episode 167 - Bert Jansch "Rosemary Lane" and "L.A. Turnaround"
There's a quote attributed to Louis Armstrong: “All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song”. Apocryphal? Who knows? Still, it does raise the question as to what folk music actually is. It can be contemporary contemporary or traditional. It can be associated with any number…

Love That Album Episode 166 - Interview with Don Walker
Growing up in the eighties, commercial AM and FM rock radio in Australia was very supportive of local bands (well...... to a point). The biggest of them all was Cold Chisel which had hit after hit. They broke up in 1983, but their songs never left Australia's consciousness. Their original era and...

Love That Album Podcast 165 - The Easybeats "Absolute Anthology 1965 to 1969"
Easybeats April continues at LTA HQ. Welcome to episode 165 of Love That Album. On the last episode, I spoke with author Jeff Apter about his book Friday On My Mind: The Life of George Young. His book looks at Young as musician with The Easybeats, and Young as songwriter and producer for Alberts...
-
Love That Album Episode 164 - Interview with Jeff Apter about "Friday On My Mind: The Life of George Young"
Ask any Australian rock fan who is the greatest Australian performer or band over the history of the last 70 odd years and you'll get a multitude of answers (as you would anywhere). It's a subjective question and there are generational factors to be taken into account. However, an Australian...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 163 - The Go Betweens "16 Lovers Lane"
There was a time where Australian bands felt that the only way they were going to get noticed was to leave the country and head to London. Sometimes, this would translate to great popularity ...and sometimes, it meant bands would live under difficult financial circumstances while their music was...
-
Love That Album podcast episode 162 - Pete Townshend "White City: A Novel"
The 1980s have often been derided musically. The truth is there was interesting stuff happening that we've conveniently forgotten. An interesting question is how the 80s treated musicians considered important in the 60s. How did they adapt with the technology and change in direction for...

It's been 3 months since I recorded the most recent episode of Love That Album. Real life interfered with being able to do something fun like speak into a microphone about great music. The show had to go into hiatus. It's with the utmost joy I can say.....welcome to episode 161 of Love That…

Without repeating the details, over the years, John Hiatt has assumed the status of legend in LTA lore....go back to episode 100 if you need a refresher. His life story is the focus of episode 160 of the show. Is this episode any good? Have a little faith...... Welcome to episode 160 of Love That...

Love That Album Podcast Episode 159 - Interview with Steven Jurgensmeyer about album cover design
In the days before music streaming services became a ubiquitous, when physical media ruled the music world, the first thing a music fan encountered before playing the music on a record, a CD or a cassette was the artwork on the cover. The cover was the always gateway to the music. Some cover art…

Love That Album Podcast Episode 158 - Interview with John Kennedy and Peter Timmerman of the 68 Comeback Special
Since the Beatles showed up with a built-in songwriting team, bands have always had those members who practised the mysterious art of creating and arranging compositions rather than relying on outside professionals to do that for them. Of course, even those great songsmiths liked to take a break...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 157 - Interview with Prescott Niles of The Knack
It's the tail end of the 70s, and top 40 music is heavily leaning to disco and AOR. Sure there's plenty of other things out there, but the charts point not only to disco artists, but pop singers jumping on board the disco train (Barbara Streisand, Kiss, Paul McCartney and Wings). Then 4 guys…

Love That Album Podcast Episode 156 - The Tom Robinson Band "Power In The Darkness"
In the past, Love That Album has avoided getting political. The albums being focused on for the most part didn't require the conversations to get embroiled in the very furnace that keeps people blathering on talk-back radio and social media – mostly in uncivilised fashion. That all changes for…

Love That Album Podcast Episode 155 - Small Faces "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake"
Are you all seated comfortable, too square on your botty? Then Love That Album can begin. Welcome to episode 155 of Love That Album podcast. As the 1960s rolled on, popular music evolved....and yet some of it looked back for inspiration. In the late 60s, the pop songs that had propelled the early...
-
Love That Album Podcast Episode 154 - Joni Mitchell's "Hejira"
The late 60s to early 70s saw a popular run of troubadours, aka singer / songwriters who were usually known for performing acoustic songs, often of a confessional nature or trying to make sense of the world through their work. The best ones sought out new musical territory as they progressed...

Love That Album Podcast Episode 153 - Interviews with Tristan Fry, Steve Gray and John Williams of Sky (recorded 1984)
As a kid, I was always told to “reach for the sky”.....I think what they meant was “reach out to Sky”....or something like that. Welcome to episode 153 of Love That Album. First of all, thanks for your patience. I didn't get to put out the planned Joni Mitchell episode in December 2021, so that…

Think of any number of singers of the 20th century to take to a stage: Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Bon Scott, Nina Simone.....”shyness” would not be any sort of adjective you'd use to describe these people. We're not focusing on any of them this time around. Welcome to episode 152 of Love…

Love That Album Episode 151 - Interview with Serge Fiori of Harmonium
You know what it's like when you discover a band that was around a long time ago, and then you inevitably go down a rabbit hole and discover a whole lot more music in a “Kevin Bacon six degrees of separation” kind of way? That's happened to me over the last few months. Welcome to episode 151 of...
