Episode 99 - Lionel Richie 'Can't Slow Down'

About this episode

Nubs and Toph review Lionel Richie’s 1983 album ‘Can’t Slow Down’ and discuss its impact and significance.

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Lionel Richie’s 1983 album ‘Can’t Slow Down’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! Hello hello….guess who. Today the boys bring you a piece of vinyl that is just a great album, and would probably sound unbelievable on a jukebox. It’s the album that took Lionel from a pop group to the band that we all know and remember them for. In fact, when Nubs listens to it he goes into a trance. And when Toph listened to it, it moved him. So, in this episode – we hope we made some sense…but we aren’t gonna beg you to listen to it. We ain’t the beggin’ type. But if you do nd you miss any of the important parts, you can always rewind and listen to it all over again. So give us a chance, we think we could be could together, please think about it thanks.
