Epysode 10: "Heritage", by Christmas
Manage episode 429500070 series 3562879
GUEST: Bob Bryden
Welcome to Canada, eh! We’ve showcased albums from around the globe but this time out it’s an all Canadian affair as we discuss the incredible career of Bob Bryden. From his early teen days as the “accidental musician” to his time with Reign Ghost and the formation of Christmas, “I wanted to start my dream band”. We dig into each track of their fantastic 1970 album Heritage and discuss their follow up Lies to Live By and the ultimate dissolution of the band. Bob’s story doesn’t end there though as we then chat about his other bands and his solo career as well as his time producing one of Canada’s premier punk bands. He’s had a fascinating life in music with many great albums along the way.
I hope you dig Heritage as much as I do.
