Whoa! 2025 is off to a great start for Redheads as Friday Jan. 31st we got the surprise new track "Fortune Teller Blues, featuring Sammy and blues wunderkind, Joe Bonamassa. But what IS this tune?!? Where did it come from?!? It sounds a bit like...Deep RED...or is it...RED Country Communion!?!

In this impromptu reaction/review the Bo-Hosts speculate on the origins of this truly epic, and very inspiRED, tune and try to piece together the tangled timelines of how - and why - we got this surprise track right now..without any, ahem, fair warning??!

( Not that we're complaining, and we'll gladly take more of it Sam! )

"BALANCE" turns 30 today!! Wow, where did 3 decades go?!?
In this bittersweet episode the Bo-Hosts wax nostalgic on this most epic of albums and look back on what was a turbulent era for their favorite version of the band. The Bo-Hosts also discuss Balance's place in landscape of Rock N Roll circa 1995, the interesting origins of certain tracks, Eddie's personal challenges, his gear & evolving tone, and we also hear from friends & listeners on what the album means to them.

Sadly, Balance was Van Halen's final, full-length studio album with Sammy, and as we would soon learn, the cracks that are now easily visible were about to break wide open, setting the stage for, as friend of the show, Martin Popoff, calls "Van Halen's Dark Ages". As the saying goes, "Hindsight's always 5150!"

Enjoy, and today, be sure to spin "Balance" at full volume in salute to this monster disc!

Here we are again in that kinda awkward stretch between Christmas and New Years. All the presents have been unwrapped, all the yuletide tidings have been exchanged and the family gatherings are getting fewer and farther between.

Well fear not as your intrepid Bo-Hosts have gotcha covered! As the snow falls and the temperatures drop, the Bo-Hosts crank up the heat with a special "Bonus" Otis Mini-Episode recorded face down in Cabo!

In this episode, a vacationing Bo-host Brent again met up with Cabo Wabo Cantina co-founder, manager, and friend of the show, the alway awesome Jorge Viana! Jorge is always a fun hang and has much to say, so kick up your new slippers, slide on your new housecoat and whip up a fresh Waborita for a bonus episode so hot you'll need to apply sunscreen liberally!

Thanks again to all our listeners and our guests for your continued support!
2024 was truly EPIC and we wish everyone an incredible 2025!

HNY from the Bo-hosts!
