Ep 793 : Stan Lynch / Drummer, Producer and Rock n Roll Hall Of Famer

In 1976 a song came on the radio called Break Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and that was it I was hooked. The Drummer on that track and so many other epic songs by The Heartbreakers is Stan Lynch, One of the best rock drummers of all time. Today I sit down with Stan for a long deep dive into his amazing career. We dig into, his love of Charlie Watts, the genius of the bass playing by Howie Epstein, Working with Don Henley and even the U.S. Festival. Stan has a brand new band called The Speaker Wars and they have a record coming out May 30th 2025 that I can’t recommend enough.  Thanks for tuning in and please make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel and iTunes channel for all your Let There Be Talk needs.
