Customer Reviews
Sustenance for the music soul
Sound Opinions is a staple of my music diet to find new music (which this show delivers in spades), as well as discover artists I missed and deepen my knowledge and appreciation of artists and their influences. Moreover, I really enjoy the hosts. It’s a remarkable show.

Thank you for the kind words - we thought the Bam Bam story was fascinating too!
Love, the ladies at BUST
Brilliant piece on Willy DeVille
Just caught this one, about Mink DeVille and CBGBs. Loved it! Truly fantastic. I hope Greg and Jim do a deep dive on Willy’s music; they’d do it proud.
