Guitarist Mike Connell of the Connells is our guest on the latest installment of The Record Player. The North Carolina band has had a busy few years, including the long awaited arrival of a new studio album, 2021's Steadman's Wake. Their entire back catalog went digital, including a few things that had been out of print. Here in 2023, they released their first-ever official live album called Set the Stage.
This summer, their 1993 album Ring was expanded to a double disc in honor of its 30th anniversary, adding a full bonus disc of previously unreleased tracks.
Mike joins us to discuss all of the above and also shares his thoughts and memories regarding The Kinks and their seminal compilation, The Kinks Kronicles.
As a bonus (depending on your point of view), Jeff and Matt dig into a chunk of random items in the podcast intro, a throwback of sorts to their sorely missed Cassingle entries. So for those of you who were hoping we'd discuss a bunch of random stuff? It's your lucky day!
Our thanks to Mike for joining us and sharing some great stories about the band's history. We had a ball chatting with him.
