2020/09/15

Today I’m talking to Robert Wagner. He’s been around Austin for quite some time. He’s got some great stories that synch with his top five records. He talks about how the Jesus Christ Superstar band was Joe Cocker’s touring band. He told me that Lou Reed did not like the positive press that the positive press his band was getting so he fired them. And then then went to Jesus Christ Superstar. And his dad!!! Dick Wagner!!! He saw Alice Cooper live. And lastly, he got painted quarters so that

BRUCE CASTLEBERRY TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/09/01

Today I’m talking to Bruce Castleberry. He’s the lead guitarist for both Vallejo and Southtown. He’s also starting something up with AJ Vallejo called Brodie Lane. I saw the first incarnation of Brodie Lane but apparently now it is different. FYI, they call him Lightning because he never strikes the same thing (or plays the same thing) twice. One of my favorite parts of this specific podcast is all the stories he has to go along with his favorite records. We talk about how he sound checked

MIKE G TOP THREE STONES RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/08/18

Today I’m talking to Mike G. He’s the main man in his band, the Jukebox Heroes. Today’s episode is going to be a little different. Usually, I speak with the podcastees about the top five records that they could only have for the rest of their lives. About a year ago, I was at the One 2 One bar on South Lamar and having a talk with Mike G. We were talking in depth about the Stones and I mentioned that he should be on my podcast. Then I said, let’s make it a top 3 Stones records podcast. After

PAIGE DECHAUSSE TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/08/04

Today I’m talking to Paige Dechausse. We had a killer conversation about the top five records she would take with her to the edge of the world. Paige plays in a band called The Reverent Few. I love her voice and their music. They came out with a new record right around the time that COVID came crashing down on us. She brought me a copy and I was able to listen to it. It’s called AIN’T NO PLACE TO BE. Do yourself a favor. Get the vinyl. It’s a good

JACE CADLE TOP 5 RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/07/21

Today I am rapping with Jace Cadle. We had an awesome conversation about his top 5 records. I’m not sure what happened but his vocal is super low and mine is super hot so my apologies for the audio discrepancy. Jace plays in a band called Madam Radar. They used to be called the Texas KGB but they recently changed their name. I’ve always thought of KGB meaning Killer Green Bud but apparently they were getting some flack so they changed the name. He’s a super cool guy and is currently taking

RUBY DICE TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/06/23

Today I am rapping with Ruby Dice. We had an awesome conversation about her top 5 records. I’ve known Ruby Dice for quite some time. She played in my band for a hot second back in the day. She used to sing a blues song with us and I was shocked that none of her top five records were old school blues. She does have a Black Keys record so I guess that will have to do. Close your eyes. You’re back on that desert island again. What five records do you

KEVIN MCKINNEY TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/06/09

KEVIN MCKINNEY 200601 My name is Gunter and I play in a local Austin band called The Big Gun Show. I created this podcast to sit down with other songwriters, musicians, artists and lovers of music to talk about their top 5 records that have inspired their lives and musical prowess. Today I am rapping with Kevin McKinney. We had an awesome conversation about his top 5 records. We talk about how at least one of the records was of childish importance. We talk about how fellow Soulhat guitarist

JOHNNY GOUDIE TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/05/26

Today I am rapping with Johnny Goudie. He’s a staple in the Austin music scene and has his own podcast called How did I get here. He’s been in multiple bands including Mr. Rocket baby, Goudie and he now performs under his name. One thing I did not know about him was that he lived in Mexico. I sure do love Mexico. We talk about how My Bloody Valentine uses a ton of loops and it’s hard to distinguish if what you are hearing is a guitar or keys. He describes their sound as a symphony of noise. We

DAVE SCHER TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/05/12

This whole COVID pandemic is throwing everyone for a loop. Bars are closed. Restaurants are closed. The only live music is now live streamed. Service industry workers, musicians and artists can’t work. The economy has hit the crapper and oil prices just went negative recently. In short our world has been turn up on it’s head. Crazy. I’ve figured out how to do a decent podcast so I am going to keep on doing it. It took a little figuring out but I have decided that using Zoom with a dynamic

Jay Stiles Top Five Records

My Top Five Records ·

2020/04/28

Today I am speaking with Jay Stiles AKA Crystal Finger. I met Jay when I was playing in an Austin club called the Rattle Inn. We we’re playing after him. Once he was done, he asked if I wanted keys. He said, “I’ve got a pretty good ear if you’re into it.” I remember smiling as I said sure. Since then he sits in with The Big Gun Show. He’s got the look. He’s got the chops. And so fun to play with. He talks about how he studied with Victor Wooten and how he relates to mangled

TATE MAYEUX TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/04/14

Today I’m talking to Tate Mayeux. He’s half of the band called Mayeux and Broussard and I love the way he writes songs. He’s got a place called the Long Play Lounge and it’s KILLER. They’ve got a ton of vinyl records, craft cocktails and craft beers. It’s an epic hang. Go check it out at 704 W St Johns Ave right around the corner from where Airport runs into North Lamar. They’ve got a release coming out at the end of April at the Sage Brush on South Congress. I’ll definitely be there if the

KELLY GREEN TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/03/31

Tonight I’m chatting with Kelly Green of Madam Radar. Well they just changed their name from The Texas KGB to Madam Radar due to others that are down on the name KGB. Jace, her husband and I had a conversation about it and it’s not about the Solviet Union. I always love the name because it reminds me of my college days and the killer green bud. They play the third Monday of every month at 121. New record came out in February that is self titled. PLEASE definitely check it out. Anyway, we

NICK JAMES TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/03/17

I’m talking to Nick James. His real last name is Boettcher but everyone knows how to pronounce James over Boettcher. He’s the lead guitar of the Reverent Few, a killer Austin band with a ton of soul and groove. I loved talking with Nick about his top five. It’s just so lovely how everyone picks their top five for different reasons. Some day I will understand Bob Dylan. Believe me. I want to get it. I just don’t yet. They’ve got an album coming out later this month on Saturday, March 28th, at

AJ Vallejo's Top Five Records

My Top Five Records ·

2020/03/03

Tonight I am talking to AJ Vallejo. AJ is the frontman of Austin’s legendary rock band called Vallejo. He has produced my band’s two albums and was Producer of the Year from 2014 thru 2016. He’s an amazing guitarist and vocalist and I am honored to call him my friend. You're going to love AJ’s top 5. Motorhead would never be in mine but I guess I can see why it’s in his. If I had to guess one of AJ’s I would have scored as I knew RATT would be one of them. My favorite part of this episode

50:25

JOSH DUKE TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/02/18

Tonight I am talking to Josh Duke. He’s the main man of Campfire Gathering and he asked me to be the camp counselor for the event. I told him that I always knew my strength was songwriting but that I knew at my age that there was no way I could make it as a performing musician. What he was asking me to do is what I ACTUALLY LOVE to do. Engage the people. So here I am engaging with people of like minds. Campfire Gathering takes place on March 16th and 17th in the pristine Texas hill country

PATRICE PIKE'S TOP FIVE RECORDS

My Top Five Records ·

2020/02/04

Tonight I am speaking with Patrice Pike. She’s been in Austin as long as I have. She actually was one of the people that inspired me to start chasing music. Tonight she inspired me to let some episodes be longer than the 30 to 40 minute length that I thought was originally appropriate. We talk about how all the records that she picked were before she turned 24 and how they are all her mother’s fault. Mom was playing Songs in the Key of Life to her when she was three! I love how she says that

Rosie Flores Top Five Records

My Top Five Records ·

2020/01/21

In this episode I am talking with Rosie Flores. She is a friend and she is my guitar teacher. She has won multiple Ameripolitan awards as well as a Peabody Award for her narration of the documentary "Whole Lotta Shakin". She has an actual day named after her in Austin on August 31st and was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2007. She’s been on both Austin City Limits and Late Night With Conan Obrien. It’s pretty awesome having one of your good friends as a hero. In 2012 she

Jeff Plankenhorn's Top Five Records

My Top Five Records ·

2020/01/07

In this first episode of My Top Five Records, I'm talking with Jeff Plankenhorn. I think he might be the best multi-instrumentalist in Austin. If you’ve never seen him play at dobro or guitar, get out there. It’s epic. Plank co-hosted Sun Radio’s Texas Radio Live at Guero’s a month or so ago so I brought down my mobile set up and we thought we could use the back room at Gueros… BUT… they had a big party back there so we went down to Jo’s Coffee. You’re going to hear some stuff in the
