Baxie's Musical Podcast: Jody Stephens from Big Star - a podcast by Bax & OBrien Podcast

Baxie talks to the last surviving member of the bad Big Star. Big Star was a band that was poised for greatness in the early 1970's. Yet due to a series of calamities, missteps, and terrible distribution problems, the world would miss out on hearing the band's the flawless records (#1 Record, Radio City, and Third/Sister Lovers. Over the next 15 years their reputation went from being a cult favorite to being one of the most influential bands of all time--inspiring bands like REM, The Replacements, Cheap Trick, The Bangles, and many others. Today they are acknowledged as having released some of the greatest records ever recorded. In fact all three albums were named to Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Jody not only talk about the band, but also its resurgence as well. We talk about the late Alex Chilton, and his current musical project called Those Pretty Wrongs. We also spend time talking about famous Ardent Studios in Memphis where Jody has been the Studio Manager for nearly 30 years.
