@45RPM - Character Witnesses for Michael Roe (Terry S. Taylor, Jimmy A, Randy Layton, A-Train, & Jan Eric Volz)

The True Tunes Podcast - A podcast by John J. Thompson / True Tunes

On this special @45RPM episode we continue our exploration of the life, music, and legacy of Michael Roe by checking in with some of his closest friends and compatriots. We hear from his 77s bandmates: Aaron "A-Train" Smith and Jan Eric Volz, Exit Records soulmate Jimmy Abegg, longtime advocate Randy Layton of Alternative Records, and fellow Lost Dog Terry Scott Taylor.   On Part 2 we will continue to dig deep with the man himself, diving into one of JJT’s all-time favorite 77s songs and hearing all about the formation, evolution, and tragic beauty of The Lost Dogs. We’ll hear about what it might mean to “do it for love,” after all these broken, beautiful years.   If you have not heard PART ONE of our conversation with Mike "Dr. Love" Roe - check it out now.    The True Tunes Podcast is sponsored by VisionTrust.org.
