Episode 33 - Alice In Chains "Dirt"

This week, we're diving deep into the dark, masterful sound of Alice In Chains’ 1992 grunge masterpiece, Dirt! We break down why this album remains a heavy music benchmark.

Plus: We pay tribute to the late Limp Bizkit bassist, Sam Rivers, and honor the enduring legacy of Kiss's Spaceman, Ace Frehley.

In The Art of Discovery, we shine a spotlight on three fantastic and underappreciated bands you need to hear!

Finally, we tackle the rock 'n' roll foundation of Elvis Presley's 'All Shook Up' as part of Michael's Journey, and the plot thickens: Michael receives his next mysterious assignment!

Don't miss our ultimate breakdown of Dirt, essential new discoveries, the next steps in Michael's musical quest, and more!
