Show 150 – Joe Savage & Mark Weger

IMG_3286

We made it. Some said we were doomed from the start, others have said we are trash and belonged in the sewer, and yet there are a few others that have wished death upon us. Through stab wounds, bar fights, boobies, and a mountain of beer and whiskey, we finally made it to Show 150. And what better way to celebrate this show then with the greatness that is Joe Savage and his faithful sidekick, and excellent bass player, Mark Weger. Both of these boys have just wrapped up their time in the studio finishing up the new Joe Savage album Sauvignon Rye, and were excited to come in and share a brand new hot off the press track entitled Alpine. Leading the show off is the track Don’t Let Your Guns Slip and closing is Drinkin’ both of which have been available for a little while via Joe Savages’ Soundcloud. We talk with Joe and Mark about the new album, the recording process, and about Joe’s interesting life roaming this planet of ours. We get into some intellectual writing and Joe’s blog and the fascinating stories on it . We also touch on the untimely death of Merle Haggard and his influence on Joe and Mark. We also continue the tradition of blindly calling people on our landmark shows, and as always it leads to confusion and insanity. In all it was a good night of talking music and drinking whiskey with two great guys that make some badass tunes.

Check out Joe Savage on Soundcloud and Facebook as well as his writing on his blog.

And be on the look out for his new album Sauvignon Rye coming out next month!
