After stepping in the '90s last episode, Episode 9 highlights the backward looking glance of that decade, via its garage punk revival. First we find R.L. Burnside, a unique Hill Country blues player who performed for decades in small-town Mississippi, until becoming a household name after collaborating with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in the '90s. Then we turn to the most resilient underdogs of the '90s garage revival: a band from Boston called Cheater Slicks, who didn't languish in obscurity...but reveled in it. Barely Human is written and hosted by Max Easton, and produced by Jason L'Ecuyer and Output Media.
