The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 115 | Blue Dogs

 This is Episode 115 and our guests are Bobby Houck and Hank Futch of the band Blue Dogs.

Blue Dogs has been around since the late 1980s, y’all. My introduction to the band came with 1999s Letters From Round O. Letters from Round O brought the band to a broader, dedicated audience. The guys slowed down a little in the 2000s. They kept making music and playing shows but limited touring and studio work for a while until this year’s Sadler Vaden produced record called Big Dreamers.

Y’all I have been a fan of Blue Dogs for twenty plus years and Big Dreamers is my favorite thing they have done. Hank and Bobby are the kind of guess I envisioned when we started The Marinade and this conversation displays why that is the case.

Wolf and Cobra belly flop into The Marinade! This is our silliest episode to date and a dream come true. Cory Branan and Jon Snodgrass are two of our all-time favorite songwriters. Branan's new record Adioswas released in 2017 and is one of our favorite records of the year. Snodgrass is best known for his work with Drag the River but also has an excellent solo catalog as well as work with the bands Scorpios and Armchair Martian. We joke about Jon's indecipherable emails and proclivity for 'playing' drums, dive deep into political waters, and discuss the creative process for each of these brilliant writers.
