Special guests The Masqueraders, who recently revived their career on America’s Got Talent, will appear alongside the album’s producer Lester Snell to reveal the hidden secrets behind their soul success in-studio.

Special guest Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell, heir to Willie Mitchell’s Royal

Studios dynasty, will detail Billy Always’ album and the studio’s stark transition from the Hi Rhythm band sound of the 1970s to the synthesizer-centric soul sound of the 1980s.

Hosted by Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound, Oblivians) and Pat Sansone (Wilco)

Special guest Greg Reding joins Cartwright and Sansone, whose reverence for Reding and Hot Dog results in gleaming inspiration surrounding an often untold era of Memphis rock innovation.
