Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration

We are back with a slightly late celebration of LGBTQ History Month! Today we each pick four songs that help tell the story of LGBTQ history in music. In addition, we talk a bit about the difference between this month and pride. So grab a beverage and get ready to celebrate!

Join us for another celebration! This time we are celebrating some of the best music from Italian-American culture...and David Lee Roth. We each choose an Italian beverage and some killer crooner songs. 

This week, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with pours and songs from this vibrant and amazing culture! 

Today we conclude Bourbon Heritage Month with a very special guest, Owen Martin, the Master Distiller/Whiskey Maker for Angel's Envy. Join us as Owen talks us through the two new special releases by Angel's Envy, his unique take on innovation within the bourbon world, his atypical journey to master distiller, and so much more. 

This week, Frizz and Bob celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month with their first-ever Rhythm on the Rocks Spirits Awards. After a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton and a quick look at bourbon's history, they hand out completely unofficial but extremely important honors for everything from Best Bourbon Under $40 and Weirdest Pour to Best Bottle Design, Worst Thing Poured in Our Mouth, and Spirit of the Year. Expect everything from bourbon to vodka, tequila to Pedro Pascal's hypothetical mezcal, Costco hot dogs, Juicy Brucey, and even Frampton coming alive.

Today, we are joined by Andrew Virgin of Bespoken Spirits. Together, we talk about Bespoken and what makes them special, sample some of their product lineup, and dive into an absolutely amazing album - Mastodon's Crack the Skye. So join us as we tackle one hell of a story about loss, grief, Rasputin, and astral projection, all alongside a new friend of the show. 

Today we learn how to swim AND learn who we were as we learn a lot about livin' and a little 'bout love. Yes, that sentence was a lot, but Alan Jackson taught us many a fine thing, including the importance of a parenthetical. So, grab a cold one, grab a float, grab a guitar, and join us way down yonder on the Chattahoochee.

Today, Frizz and Bob sit down with an iced coffee for a very special episode. For the first time on RotR, we bring you TWO TOMS. My Morning Jacket's Tom Blankenship and Howling Giant's Tom Polzine join us for a chat about a life in music. We talk about the tour grind, writing, recording, silos, hearses, lore and general Tomfoolery. 

Summer may be winding down, but that doesn't mean the breezy vibes are going away as today, Frizz and Bob set sail and dive into Steely Dan's amazing Aja. And, to help celebrate, Frizz enjoys a classy canned cocktail, and Bob gets JACKED on a cheap canned cocktail. 

Come join us on a happy sad journey as we tell the story of one of the best music movies ever, Sing Street. Learn a little about the making of the movie, the plot, and most importantly, examine the music that makes the films an all time great.
