#335 Eric Nally (Foxy Shazam)

My guest for Episode 335 of Life In The Stocks is one of the greatest rock 'n' roll frontmen alive today. His band are perhaps the most criminally overlooked rock 'n' group on the planet. I'm talking about the enigmatic Eric Nally from Foxy Shazam, who I'm so thrilled to welcome onto the podcast.

We have a lot to discuss, from working on the self-titled Foxy Shazam album with producer John Feldmann, to some of the amazing guests musicians who played on it, including Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols, and the world's best drummer for hire, Josh Freese. We also talk about working on The Church of Rock N Roll record with Justin Hawkins, and the Gonzo album with Steve Albini.

We chat about Eric's friendship and creative relationship with Macklemore, including the smash hit single Downtown that they worked on together, and how Macklemore inspired Eric to get sober, and the ways in which his life has changed and improved as a result - creatively, physically & spiritually.

Finally, we discuss the dynamic with his band mates and co-conspirators in Foxy Shazam, and Eric teases some new music in the not-too-distant future. I absolutely love this band, and I urge you to check out their amazing back catalogue if you're not familiar with their music. I honestly think they're one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of the last 25 years, and Eric is such a powerhouse performer. I was thrilled to have him on the show.
