Published: March 25, 2017, 11:13 a.m.

b'Episode 99 of Love That Album podcast is available for your enjoyment\\u2026.and I\\u2019m really happy with this one.\\nFor this episode, I present an interview I did with Chris Wilson on the 25th anniversary of his first album post-Crown of Thorns, Landlocked. Chris is a triple threat. He is among Australia\\u2019s greatest harmonica players (and has played on sessions for some of the greatest performers in Australian rock music). He has an incredible and distinctive baritone voice that can be mighty and booming or tender and gentle. Finally, he is the equal of any of the greatest songwriters in Australia with a gift for poetic but earthy lyrics and great melodies. If you\\u2019re a fan of Don Walker, Paul Kelly, or even Captain Beefheart or Tom Waits, you need to give Chris a listen.\\nWe spend some time talking about the 1992 album Landlocked, but also touch upon the Melbourne pub band scene of the era, his songwriting and blues heroes, and how Crowded House asked Chris to do something that invoked the displeasure of the great Vika Bull. Download the show to find out what it was.\\nEric Reanimator returns with his \\u201cAlbum I Love\\u201d segment to hip you to the country side of The Groovie Ghoulies in their guise as The Haints. He talks about their 2004 album Hurt & Alone.\\nI hope you enjoy episode 99\\u2026..that\\u2019s one less than episode 100\\u2026.which is next month\\u2026.just puttin\\u2019 that out there\\u2026.\\nYou can download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or downloading streaming directly from\\xa0http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.
