Episode 76: Jason Beers
It's the John Tait episode of Badass Records!
That's right. It's #76. Only this conversation had nothing to do with former Kansas City Chiefs, B.Y.U. alum, or left tackles at all. Nope. This one's all about Beers. Jason Beers.
Yes, the banjo-wrangling, bass-playing, prolific writer/recorder of music was kind enough to give of his time and swing by for a chat about gigging, releasing material, and -- of course -- a few of his favorite records.
Those were these:
The Doors, self-titled (1967)
Ragin', Full-On (1986), fIREHOSE
Nomeansno's Wrong (1989)
28 Big Ones (2000), Bill Doggett
Dwight Diller's O Death! (2015)
Whether you like our chat or not, Jason's bandcamp can be found here, and please do visit it, if for no other reason than to see the music-cranking machine that he is. In all seriousness, give some of his stuff a listen. You won't regret it. And you can of course follow him on social media.
Final token plug: My Web site has a Merch' page.
There. I said it.
Thanks for stopping by.
copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the promo/intro/outro audio. They are all clips from one song. That song is called, "Last Chance to Dance Trance (Perhaps)." It's from a record called Friday Afternoon in the Universe by the trio, Medeski, Martin & Wood. That album -- in case you were wondering -- just might be the pinnacle of badass records, and it appears here c/o Rykodisc Inc.
