Matt and Rob Interview legendary drummer Liberty DeVitto

We talk about his 2020 book "Liberty, Life, Billy & the Pursuit of Happiness"

Liberty helped sell over 150 million albums with a band that Phil Rubin named "the Lords of 52nd Street" with Billy Joel at the lead.

**** We talk about: THE FIRST TIME LIBERTY MET BILLY JOEL WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO MEET PAUL MCCARTNEY AND RECORD WITH HIM THE SONGS "SCENES FROM AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT" AND "ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG" THE SONG LIBERTY DIDN'T LIKE TO PLAY THE UNIQUE SOUNDS USED FOR "PRELUDE / ANGRY YOUNG MAN" AND "STILETTO" THE 911 BENEFIT, VISITING GROUND ZERO THE RECOVERY SQUAD (Liberty has been sober for over 20 years!) THE SLIM KINGS (LIBERTY'S CURRENT BAND) AND MORE! (AND THINGS THAT ARE NOT IN LIBERTY'S BOOK) **** Matt and Rob grew up listening to Billy Joel so it was a great honor for us to talk to someone who was in the middle of it all back in the 70s/80s. The good, the bad and the ugly of it all. We tried to keep it positive. Liberty is such a humble, funny and sweet person it was a great time for us all. **** Liberatori "Liberty" DeVitto is an American rock drummer. He is best known for his work as a drummer for singer-songwriter Billy Joel's recording and touring band. He has also been a session drummer on recordings for other artists, including Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Phoebe Snow, Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, Rick Wakeman, Bob James, Meat Loaf, and more. He is credited as a drummer on records that have sold a combined total of 150 million units worldwide.

In 2020, Liberty released his first book, an autobiography, Liberty—Life, Billy, and the Pursuit of Happiness (pictured below). He then began exploring other literary journeys and released his first children's storybook, Love, Santa Clause—A humble-hearted Christmas story. There is much more to come as Liberty is working on an entire book series as we speak.

**** Check out Liberty's website where you can order his book: LIBERTY, LIFE, BILLY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS www.libertydevitto.com also check out the SLIM KINGS website at www.slimkings.com - new album in the works coming in September!

ROB & JEREMY interview CHRIS SLADE

Chris Slade had an incredible career in music spanning 6 decades!

Chris is from Wales and grew up 6 miles from where Tom Jones grew up. So it only was right that Chris became Tom Jones drummer (Chris was on Tom's first 6 albums including LIve in Vegas)

Chris went on to form Manfred Mann's Earth Band (Blinded by the Light) ... was asked to join a new supergroup THE FIRM (in the 80s with Jimmy Page & Paul Rodgers), was in ASIA, URIAH HEEP...

... and one of the greatest bands of all time ... AC/DC. Chris was on their RAZOR'S EDGE album which he played drums on the legendary song Thunderstruck! He also recorded "big gun" for the Swartzenegger movie "Last Action Hero". He joined AC/DC on their ROCK or BUST world tour in 2015.

He was in AC/DC up until 2020 when Phil Rudd rejoined.

We only had about 35 minutes to talk to Chris so we couldn't cover his whole career (who could) but we got to talk drum technique, auditioning for AC/DC, being asked to join The Firm and other stuff including who makes the best tea and if Chris could go back in time where would it be and when?

Also hear Chris' response when Jimmy Page told him (while recording with Tom Jones) what he was going to call his next band ... you may have heard of them?

A good fun interview!

Matt and Rob Interview Australian/Nashville Singer Songwriter Imogen Clark for the 2nd time!

Last May we interviewed Imogen right after she had moved to Nashville from Australia. We catch up with her and find out all the incredible things that she's been doing in the last year including meeting us back in October in Montclair (Outpost in the Burbs) when she opened for Robyn Hitchcock.

We talk about Robyn and her relationship to him and his wife, going to Red Rocks and shooting a video, her new album "Choking on Fuel" and her upcoming shows in the UK (she leaves for England tomorrow)

Her new album is a re-imagined toned down album of songs from last year's release of "The Art of Getting Through". Both albums are simply amazing. Not only does Imogen have such a beautiful, natural voice but her songs are lyrically unforgettable.

We find out in this interview: How the Australian Band MIDNIGHT CHICKEN really got there name (not what Rob thinks) What a FARM PARK is Was meeting Rob & Matt last October one of the highlights of her tour? and What MYSTERY QUESTION will Imogen pick ... last two interviews the #6 was picked.. will it be a third time for #6 ?

Imogen is one of the nicest, sweetest people you'd ever want to meet and we had such a great conversation with her. We will definitley talk to her again and meet her again in the near future. Be sure to check out her music!
