It's One For The Money, Two For The Show, Three To Get Ready, Now Go, Cat, Go! We're putting on our finest Blue Suede Shoes this week and talking about the self-titled 1956 debut record of the King Of Rock And Roll himself, Elvis Presley! We'll talk about how this small-town Mississippi boy came to be one of music's most influential superstars and dig into hit songs like Tutti Frutti, I Got A Woman, and Money Honey (some of the most highly acclaimed songs of all time)! From his Graceland home to his chimpanzee to his untimely death, we still barely scratch the surface of the legend in this episode. Also... did you know Elvis was a law enforcement officer? Uh-Huh-Huh.

We're going back to The Night Me And Your Mama Met this week with Childish Gambino (and Donald Glover)!

Take a walk West Of The Fields this week as we listen to R.E.M.'s debut album Murmur!

We'll also examine his near-death experiences, learn who covered a traveler with yogurt, and discover why R.E.M. won't be there for us. Clap clap clap clap!

Don't cross him, don't boss him! We're screaming like a panther in the middle of the night this week with Willie Nelson's career-defining classic, Red Headed Stranger! This 1975 concept LP was mistaken for a demo when record execs first heard it, but hits like Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain and Remember Me helped cement its legacy. We'll follow the Preacher on a redemptive journey full of love, lust, and murder, all the way from Blue Rock to Denver. We'll also talk about Willie's hitchhiker lifestyle, his creative use of a barf bag, and the time he was accused of murder as we sail O'er The Waves on Spin It!

Nina Simone has us Feeling Good this week with her twelfth studio album, I Put A Spell On You! She's come to be known as the High Priestess Of Soul, and for good reason -- her classically-trained piano playing and expressive vocals lend themselves perfectly to the soulful R&B and jazz music she chose to sing. As a vocal figure during the Civil Rights Movement she helped give rise to the protest song as a tool and art form, and her career was fraught with turbulence from within and without. We'll talk about the wildlife of Barbados, a record-breaking vocal performance, and a time she REALLY lost her temper as we Take Care Of Business with this record. Happy New Year!

It's a GRAMMY Special! Jon Batiste's WE ARE just took home top honors as Album Of The Year and James and Connor are here to break it down. This unexpected blend of jazz, contemporary R&B, and hip hop sent us into "identity crisis" mode as our norms were flipped on their heads! Hear whether we thought this album deserved the win, and learn about Batiste's favorite melodica and personal ties to Star Wars villain Kylo Ren along the way. It's a can't-miss album, and if that leaves you saying "Whatchutalkinbout," maybe you should press play and let us Show You The Way.

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? We sure can! James and Connor are taking on Phil Collins' most successful solo record: No Jacket Required! It's a more upbeat outing than his first two records, with peppy dance pop anthems like Sussudio, I Don't Wanna Know, and Who Said I Would alongside the occasional power ballad like Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore. We'll figure out why this Honorary Texan looks so wet on the album cover, which famous musician fired him from a drumming gig, and why he might have anonymously taken on the role of a chocolate-peddling ape. This actor, Genesis drummer and frontman, and newly-inducted Spin It Legend has plenty of surprises in store, and we won't even require that you wear a jacket. Su-Su-Sussudio!
