Episode 7 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of rock and roll legend Chuck Berry.

Eric Morningstar joins me as we look at Berry’s music, what inspired his music, and his influence on other legendary artists that considered him a hero. Oh… we also have a special announcement from Mr. Ecks, commentary, and more outstanding music from across genres.

Episode 4 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of one of the 90s greatest rock bands, Alice in Chains. The band, led by lead vocalist Layne Staley and guitarist Jerry Cantrell, delivered some of the hardest (and softest), darkest, and most poetic songs in the history of rock and roll.

Episode #0002

Episode 2 of The Hank in Chains Show includes not only great music and commentary, but, with the help of my co-host and psychology-genius brother Eric Morningstar, an in-depth look at the music of Warren Zevon. A unique singer-songwriter, Zevon wrote devilishly evil, funny, and yet intelligent lyrics that revealed a complex, compelling soul. A moralist in cynic’s clothing according to Springsteen, Zevon was never understood by the majority of mainstream music listeners. And yet, for those of you who aren’t afraid to look deeper into an artist’s words, appreciate dark humor, and simply love great rock and roll… this week’s show will be a must-listen event. Artists/Bands on this week’s show include: Nirvana, John Lennon, George Harrison, Dollar Store, Jason Isbell, Chuck Berry, Dwight Yoakam, Jakob Dylan, Those Poor Bastards, Jerry Cantrell, and Jimi Hendrix.
