Dean Delray's LET THERE BE TALK

Today on Let There Be Talk, I sit down with the great Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke. For the last 25 years, Blackberry Smoke has been carrying the torch for authentic Southern rock, blending incredible songwriting, killer musicianship, and a relentless work ethic that has earned them one of the most loyal fan bases in music. Charlie joins me to talk about the band's incredible 25-year journey, from grinding it out in clubs and bars to headlining theaters and festivals around the world. We dive into the evolution of the band, the stories behind the songs, life on the road, staying true to your artistic vision, and what keeps Blackberry Smoke moving forward after a quarter century. If you're a fan of great songwriting, real rock and roll, and the spirit of never giving up, you're going to love this conversation.

Today on Let There Be Talk I've got a true guitar God in the house — one of the most technically insane, melodic, and joyful players to ever plug into a Marshall… the one and only Paul Gilbert. You first felt the shred attack with Racer X, where the speed was blistering and the musicianship was on another planet. Then came the arena-sized hooks and monster riffs with Mr. Big — yes, the band that gave the world "To Be With You," but also some of the fiercest guitar playing of the late '80s and '90s. Now Paul is back with a brand-new solo record, WROC — and as always, he's pushing himself, chasing tone, melody, and that endless curiosity that's kept him evolving for decades. We dive deep into: The making of WROC His practice philosophy and how he stays inspired Life in Mr. Big and Racer X Paul's not just a shred legend — he's one of the most positive, dedicated lifers in rock 'n' roll. Turn it up. This is Let There Be Talk.  Thank You  DDR   My tour dates can be found here - https://www.deandelray.com/tourdates  Join My Patreon here - https://www.deandelray.com/patreon  Watch my new Stand Up Comedy Special for free - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbeaApu4OP0

"Welcome to another episode of Let There Be Talk. Today I'm diving deep into a few subjects that hit me hard this week — starting with one of the greatest films ever made, Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. We'll get into the grit, the genius, and the madness of Travis Bickle, and how that movie still punches you in the gut almost 50 years later. After all these years what do you think happened to Travis. Then I'm switching gears into the world of metal — breaking down Metallica's "Disposable Heroes", Is this their greatest song? And finally, I want to talk about the loss of D'Angelo, an artist who changed the game with soul, honesty, and groove. Brown Sugar is hands down one of the best records of the 90's   Thank you for always tuning in and remember to keep the Candles Lit.

We'll talk songwriting, touring, Recording with producer  Chris Cobb, guitars, and of course what it was like playing that legendary last Black Sabbath show "Back To The Beginning" Halestorm have a brand new record out now called Everest and are out touring right now.
