My Weekly Mixtape: The Ultimate Gin Blossoms Playlist (Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms Interview)
Manage episode 439144775 series 2601091
In this week's Catalog Dive episode, I am joined by Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms, and we’re diving into songs from across the band's entire discography, including their massive hits like “Hey Jealousy” & “Found Out About You," fan favorites & album cuts such as "Cheatin'" & "Memphis Time."
We also discuss: the musical evolution of the songs that made the leap from from their original independent release “Dusted” to their hit-versions on “New Miserable Experience;” how a single photograph inspired “Allison Road;” recording their cover of KISS’ “Christine Sixteen” for the “KISS My Ass: Classic KISS Regrooved” compilation; his opinion on how the 1995 film Empire Records compared to working in a record store (something he did for over a decade growing up); the pressure their label was putting on the band to record hits like “Til I Hear It From You” and “Follow You Down;” why their 2006 album “Major Lodge Victory” isn’t available on streaming; their 2024 summer tour with Toad The Wet Sprocket & Vertical Horizon, and so much more!
