🎧Episode 131: Allan Holdsworth Fusion, Donald Fagen Debut Cuts & A David Soul Acting Detour
About this episode
Episode 131 explores jazz fusion through Allan Holdsworth, debut albums by Donald Fagen, and a detour into acting with David Soul.
Episode 131 gets wonderfully musician-brained as Derek Hale brings Allan Holdsworth into the room, which means jazz fusion, impossible guitar lines, and the general feeling that everyone else may need to practice more. Curtis continues his run through favorite debut albums with Donald Fagen , adding sleek studio polish, sophisticated songwriting, and that perfectly engineered jazz-pop/AOR atmosphere. Jonathan follows with Sting , bringing a thoughtful, literary deep cut that leans into the moodier side of 1980s singer-songwriter pop. Then Curtis takes the category chair for Stick To Acting , featuring David Soul and a reminder that sometimes the line between television star and pop singer gets very, very interesting. Fusion fireworks, immaculate debut-album polish, Sting-level seriousness, and a celebrity vocal turn that absolutely belongs in the category—Episode 131 has range. Curtis Gross is a self-employed video editor. Jonathan Workman is an adult learning consultant based in Wichita, KS. --- Make sure you are subscribed to Why Is This So Hard For You.
