The Missing Link Between Grunge and Bro Country - Show Notes, Further Listening and Sources

This is a connection I've noticed for many years now, all the way back at the start of my broadcasting career working on CKYL in Peace River and talking about it with my PD at the time. So much fun going through and connecting the dots from two completely different Genres, though fans of one might REALLY hate the comparison. Bear with me and enjoy the conclusion I've jumped to.

Further Listening:

This weeks Further Listening is just the two albums discussed during the episode. This week I hope you'll revisit music you used to love but haven't heard in a while to see if and how your opinions have changed and if you find something new to like.

Creed: My Own Prison

Nickelback: All The Right Reasons
