Rich and Danny spend more than an hour-and-a-half digging into the brilliant music made by Huey Lewis & The News. They explore the nuances and attention to detail for which the band was famous. They discuss the groups undeniable influence on all pop music over the past thirty years, and even select their favorite bands of the 21st century that they see as the heirs apparent to the Huey Lewis & The News legacy. Okay, none of that is true, but the guys do celebrate Huey Lewis & The News as the everyman band that hit it big.

This week Rich and Danny finally feel ready to pay homage to one of the great musical minds of our time. Quincy Jones passed away in November, and the boys have taken the time to bring together what they feel is a good representation of his career through the music that he wrote, produced and arranged. And folks the music this week is just superb. This show doesn’t get to work with a catalog that is this deep and this diverse very often. Rich and Danny take full advantage of its magnificence.

Rich and Danny take some time (but not enough time) to wish the great Willie Nelson a happy 92nd birthday. Really, this show is them playing a bunch of his songs and just kind of marveling at the depth and breadth of his crazy remarkable career. Listen to them fanboy if you want, but the music on this show is – obviously – amazing.
