12. Dweezil Zappa

Our first episode of 2024 has the one and only Dweezil Zappa joining Jackson on Guess That Record! The son of legendary musician Frank Zappa, Dweezil followed in his footsteps to become a master guitarist and composer in his own right, releasing six studio albums over the course of his career. He’s also carried on the legacy of his father’s music by fronting the successful group Zappa Plays Zappa. In this episode, Jackson and Dweezil talk about how he learned guitar under the tutelage of Eddie Van Halen, Frank Zappa’s greatest hits, and how he managed to earn a part in an Arnold Schwarzenegger film.

Guess That Record

Guess That Record is a podcast hosted by Canadian musician Jackson Reed. Each week Jackson will sit down with a special guest for an in-depth interview about their career and experiences. Then, the guest will have to guess which album Jackson pulled from his collection, leading to a discussion about the record. A show for anyone that’s a fan of music, Guess That Record will be posting new episodes on Wednesdays!

Guess That Record returns with Jackson interviewing Midge Ure! Hailing from Scotland and having been active in music since the early 70s, Midge is best known for serving as the frontman for the band Ultravox. The group had a string of hit singles on the UK charts in the 80s including “Vienna,” and “Dancing With Tears in My Eyes.” Midge is best known for his collaboration with Bob Geldof, co-writing “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and helping to organize Live Aid. In the interview Jackson and Midge talk about his brief stint in Thin Lizzy, performing at Live Aid with Ultravox, and his new album “A Man Of Two Worlds.”

Midge’s new album “A Man Of Two Worlds” is available on May 8th! Get the album here (http://midgeure.lnk.to/AMoTW)
