Legendary actor Kevin Bacon and his big brother and film composer Michael Bacon join Kyle Meredith to discuss the new album from their collaborative musical project The Bacon Brothers, Ballad of the Brothers. Listen to the new episode now.
The duo talk about their upbringings in Philadelphia and how the setting has shaped their sound. While on the topic of foundational influences, the brothers also mention airport bars, tattoos, and their respective careers. Kevin, in particular, explains how his acting career helps him find different voices for each song. "I've always like singers who find a different place depending on the song they happen to be sinning," Kevin explains.
As Ballad of the Brothers dropped on April 19th, the same day as the new Taylor Swift and Pearl Jam albums, the two also explain their secret weapon for topping the charts: the autoharp. "I think that's gonna knock Taylor Swift off #1," Michael says as Kevin laughs.

With Pearl Jam’s Dark Matter now out in the world, we’re pulling a pair of interviews with guitarist Mike McCready out of the vault. Listen to both wherever you get your podcasts.
Rewinding to the year 2012, McCready digs into his side projects, from his UFO tribute band Flight to Mars to The Rockfords to his pre-Pearl Jam band Shadow. Then comes the big news (at that time): the announcement that he would be celebrating Mad Season, his one-off band with Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley, with a deluxe edition reissue.
Going forward a year, the 2013 interview picks up where 2012's left off, with Mad Season. McCready tells the story on how they recorded three songs with Mark Lanegan and another pair with Killing Joke’s Jaz Coleman. When it's pointed out that McCready has played with nearly all of the most famous of Seattle singers, he reflects on the brief moment that he tried to start a project with Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain.

The English Beat’s Dave Wakeling drops by Kyle Meredith With… to talk about the Record Store Day reissue of the band's sophomore album Wha'ppen? Listen to the new episode wherever you get your podcasts.
The '80s legend digs into how he still connects to the dire warnings baked into the songs even 40 years after originally singing them, as well as how the progressive themes have aged. While undoubtedly political, he also talks about housing such ideas within danceable, catchy songs.
As the two chat about the difference between the '80s and the modern day, touching on playing with Vampire Weekend at The Hollywood Bowl and his new material along the way, the conversation turns towards the state of the live music industry. When it comes to high ticket prices, Wakeling is just as confused as everyone else.
