Rob Aldridge – Mind Over Manners - Join us in this captivating podcast episode as we delve into the story of Alabama-based rock and rollers Rob Aldridge & the Proponents and their highly anticipated second album, "Mind Over Manners." With a two-part strategy of delivering thoughtful truths backed by tasteful grooves, they successfully avoided the sophomore slump, presenting a twelve-song collection that rivals their fellow Alabaman contemporaries like Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit and Alabama Shakes.

Check out Rob Aldridge music at: robaldridgemusic.com/

Recorded at Studio 144, a smoky loft space in Green Hill, Alabama, "Mind Over Manners" was produced by Rob Aldridge and Jay Burgess of The Pollies. The Proponents, along with additional talents like Clint Chandler on keyboards, Caleb Elliott on cello, and Kimi Samson on violin, poured their hearts into the creation of this album. However, their triumph is bittersweet. The passing of Proponents bassist Stone Anderson from an accidental drug overdose in April 2021 deeply shook both the band and the North Alabama music scene. For Aldridge, working on "Mind Over Manners" became a poignant reminder that it was the last project he would share with his childhood friend Stone. Explore the highs and lows of this remarkable band's journey as they pour their souls into their music.

Chris Thomas King - The King of the Blues - Chris Thomas King is a multi-Grammy winning blues musician. He's also the author of, "The Blues: The Authentic Narrative of My Music and Culture." The Blues tells the unrealized history, that the genre was actually invented in New Orleans. It's also a fact that most modern music in the US is a descendant of the blues. Names like Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, Bunk Johnson, Chevalier De Saint George, Dan Desdunes are among the most important players in the history, not only of the Blues, but of American music.

Get his book on Amazon at amzn.to/353PGCJ

Chris' history is informed in part by his upbringing working in his father Tabby's juke joint. The oral traditions passed down through the collected living memory of the musicians just a generation or 3 after the spawning of the genre were told at Tabby's.
Chris is also a world-class musician. He's not just won multiple Grammys, but had his name announced more than once on the same night!  He's a successful stage and movie actor. He's a prolific song writer and an all round wonderful person. You are going to love meeting Chris Thomas King.
