Episode 42: 'High Voltage’ with Riley Couzzourt

For the next four weeks, 'My Classic Album' will be celebrating
the Bon Scott era of AC/DC starting with this episode dedicated
to their international debut 'High Voltage'.


Mike is joined by Riley Couzzourt, guitarist of the Georgia
Thunderbolts for who 'High Voltage' marked a crucial in his
journey as a lover of rock music and a musician in his own right.
Together Mike and Riley explore how the growing popularity of
AC/DC in both Australia and across the world led the band to
release this album; a compilation of their first two Australian
releases.


 


Before he joined the band as lead singer, what role did Bon Scott
play in the lives of AC/DC?


Why did Rolling Stone famously slate the album upon its release?


Who did Bon play songs including 'She's Got Balls' to see if they
would make the cut for 'High Voltage'?


 


PLUS: Hear 'Looking For An Old Friend', the opening track from
the debut EP from the Georgia Thunderbolts!


 


An episode not to be missed from 'My Classic Album'.
