Road Warriors with Sam Llanas

Years ago, Kirk Hammett described the making of Master of Puppets as a period when the boys in the band were coming out of a phase where they only listed to the most extreme music they could find.

You may have noticed the departure in quality between Puppets and its predecessor.

Though Glacially Musical is dedicated, primarily to the heavier side of musical spectrum, it's not been uncommon for me to delve into other types of music. If you're following the Instagram Account, you'll see all kinds of interesting records in my home collection.

With that kind of a mindset, we turn our sights to veteran Americana Rocker, Sam Llanas.

Llanas, formerly of the Bodeans is out there right now getting his Return of the Goya Pt. 1 into your ears. You can check all of that out HERE.

Sam was willing to spare some time for us to talk about his touring stories.

Album Review: "The Whole Night Thru" by Sam Llanas

The Whole Night Thru

This is one of those situations where I received an album by someone whom I'm frankly not familiar with at all.

Sam Llanas isn't new in any stretch of the imagination.

He was a founding member of the roots rock band The BoDeans, whom I've heard of, but for the life of me I can't name any songs by them.

He was also a member of the band Absinthe, also whom I can tell you nothing about.

I've had the beverage and I found it disappointing, but that's about as far as I can get here. I can tell you he's been at the music game for a very long time and he's known for his acoustic guitar work, but for the rest, I'm flying blind here.
