Believeyoume is the new release from the Kansas City band Shiner. Formed in 1993, the group released several influential albums in its initial iteration, ultimately disbanding in 2003. The members regrouped in 2012 and have been performing ever since but only releasing one new album in their first eight years back together, 2020’s Schadenfreude. This new effort finds the band exploring new thematic territory while retaining their signature sound. We’ll get to selections from Believeyoume on this episode as well as music from Riddle of Steel’s 1985.

Released in September 1973, Buckingham Nicks is the sole album from the duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

Their self-titled release has remained out of print for years but is now widely available once again on the Rhino label. We’ll hear selections from it as well as music from Cunningham Bird, the 2024 full album cover of Buckingham Nicks from Madison Cunninham and Andrew Bird.
