EPISODE 76 - FIFTH ON THE FLOOR

This week on Special Music Unit Rob sits down with Fifth On The Floor’s Justin Wells and Jason Parsons to discuss their brand new release Ashes & Angels. If you’ve ever listened to Sirius/XM’s Outlaw Country channel, then there is a damn good chance you’ve heard this week’s artist.  Produced by Shooter Jennings, Ashes & Angels harkens back to a louder, rowdier style of country music than today’s crop of Top 40 country artists.  Fans of The Allman Brothers Band and Waylon Jennings will find a record right up their alley.  Hell, even if you are a straight ahead rock fan, this album will serve up the goods.

Rob talks with Justin and Parsons on topics ranging from Armadillos to whiskey and along the way discuss the new album track by track.  As an additional bonus, this week’s show features exclusive live tracks from Fifth On The Floor, recorded at a recent show at Route 33 Rhythm & Brews in Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Grab a beer, crank it up, then head over to Fifth On The Floor’s website, Amazon or iTunes and order the cracking new release Ashes & Angels.

EPISODE 71 - HOLIDAY BOOTLEG FOON

With the FOON Studio out of commission, Eric and Rob head to the local bar to record this extra special “bootleg” episode of From Out Of Nowhere.  As our Christmas gift to you, the listeners, we’re sharing an interview Rob conducted a couple years back when he was on assignment in Austin, Texas for Classic Rock Magazine.  Who are the guests?  None other than the great Lemmy Kilmister and former GNR/Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum.  Rob sat down with Lemmy and Matt to discuss Matt’s short run of shows filling in for Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee while Mikkey was absent filming a reality series.

We’ve had a great season of shows with guests like Eric Bloom, Warner E. Hodges, Dick Wagner, Albert and Joe Bouchard, Dennis Dunaway and many others.  Catch up on past episodes over the holiday season and we will be back in 2013 with tons of new guests for Season 3!  Happy Holidays!
