Great Dive into Great Musical Memories
A whole episode on Red Red Wine? No problem. Chris sheds light on the conditions that made this hit possible. From the growing influence of Reggie to the seemingly random trend of top disk jockeys giving overlooked songs a second chance, we can re-appreciate not only this song, but this moment in music history and all that went into and came out of it. Chris reminds us that culture doesn’t happen in a vacuum and that none of the songs or trends he discusses could either. This is a fascinating podcast with a great dose of nostalgia that doesn’t just bring us back in time, it helps us to understand the music and the time it was born in.
