We Talk Music returns, and Brett is joined by Todd Poole, the lead singer of the Memphis band Roxy Blue.

Roxy Blue is releasing their first new album in 27 years on August 9th through Frontiers, and it’s a self-titled release. Todd has been keeping busy in the meantime working with his father-in-law Jimi Jamison, playing in the band 714 and forming the band Saliva. The new album and many other topics are on the podcast, including:

• Being from Memphis and what it’s like
• How Todd has kept himself busy over the past 27 years
• How Jani Lane and Warrant helped them out in the early days
• Music being more about live than about record sales nowadays
• How songwriting has changed for them over the years
• The sequence of the album and the thought put into it
• Why the album is self-titled
• The logo and how Todd updated it
• Converting old fans to the new music
• The difficult nature of performing some of the older songs now
