Ok, so three of our past 5 Episodes have been with Paul Jackson from Blackberry Smoke. Why? Because we don't DO many of these any more as life gets in the way and things change. BUT...one thing that does NOT change is how much Paul loves Christmas - and how much Nick HATES it. So...join us as Mike and Nick are joined by Paul AND his evil spawn, Spencer Jackson (a talented musician in his own right) as we talk about how BlackBerry Smoke spent 2025 touring, their new triple LP greatest hits album, Spencer's new band - Grass, Christmas songs that are trash, another killer session of "This or That", and of course our signature segments:

- Dumb News

- DIS-Covered

- This song SUCKS!

Check it out! And of course, check out Rock City Music Company at www.rockcitymusicco.com, Blackberry Smoke's new album available at www.blackberrysmoke.com, and Grass on Instagram at Grass.we.are and on Facebook, too!

Yes, it’s true – Mike and Nick are BACK IN ACTION! Cover to Cover returns after a long hiatus.

LOTS has gone on since we last were with you, so in this episode we touch on a ton of hot-button topics and give our not-so-educated takes on all of them. Things like:

- Our favorite album releases of 2025 thus far

- Black Sabbath RETIRING and the “Back to the Beginning” concert

- Tariffs and how it affects the music world

And more!

We’ll also be going through our famous segments:

- Dumb News

- DIS-Covered

- This Song SUCKS

Make sure you tune in for the triumphant return of COVER TO COVERED! BE THERE! Or don’t. But BE THERE!

Ya know, usually if you do our show once, that is enough for a lifetime, but Paul Jackson of Blackberry Smoke has agreed to come on AGAIN in a triumphant return - along with some special guest - Paul's own son, Spencer Jackson - a musician in his own right and part time guitar tech for Blackberry Smoke!

We talk about how Blackberry Smoke has been able to continue on in the time following the untimely death of founding member Brit Turner, get some stories from the road, and what 2025 and beyond looks like for BBS!

We also fight over Van Halen songs, and of course feature our award-winning* segments, "DIS-Covered" and "This Song SUCKS"

*Roger the Pug gave us the award for "Best Podcast Segment for Pugs Who Don't Speak"). That's legit...right?
