    "Baby Talk"

    The mid-90s found Cheap Trick focused on reclaiming the edges that had been smoothed out of the band's sound for much of the band's run through the 1980s. By 1997, the band took the indie label route after years of major label support finally souring on the Rockford quartet's declining record sales albeit that one shining moment in 1988. Distortion and fuzz were king in 1994, but, following the death of Kurt Cobain, a vacuum was created that the guitar just couldn't fill against the resurgence of corporate pop. So, naturally, this is the perfect time for Cheap Trick to enter the studio with Steve Albini and bash out some dirty, riffy guitar rock. This ain't all talk…it's "Baby Talk".

    "Take Me To The Top"

    We kick off the new year with a nod to an album that deserves some cake and ice cream. It was 40 years ago when Cheap Trick delivered its ninth album and probably its most bewildering to many fans at the time. Call us a doctor because we need a dose of "Take Me To The Top."

    "It's Up To You" W/ Pat O'Sullivan

    Is there a doctor in the audience? In 1986, Cheap Trick came back with its ninth album and its last of the Jon Brant era. After a mild momentum boost from the previous year's STANDING ON THE EDGE it looked like things were finally taking a commercial turn for the band in a good direction…or so it seemed. Pat O'Sullivan of Chicago's Cheap Trick tribute act, Rockford Files joins in the conversation.
