HO-HO-HO-LY SHIT! We're back y'all!

After a WAY TOO LONG break, we're finally ready to wrap up season one with a three part Fleetwood Mac extravaganza. On part 1 we are focusing on the early iterations of the band from Peter Green, cults, an explanation of legs, sex magik, the new Fleetwood Mac and way too many albums concentrating on dad blues. Our favourite dipshit Eric Clapton even managed to squeeze his way in to their history, because of course he did. So let's begin shall we ? Next week we are focusing on the so called "classic" lineup and their two wildest albums Rumors and Tusk!

We're sitting down this week for the penultimate artist feature of Soft Shoulder season 1, Robert Palmer! From his early Island sound inspirations, the insane amount of cover material, his tin pan alley style to the powers station. Robert Palmer is a strange and pretty reserved musical chameleon  with an equally weird body of work that is really all over the map.
