Episode 39: 'Electric Warrior' with Matthew Hughes

'My Classic Album' sees in 2021 with an album credited as the
very beginning of glam rock fifty years ago. Mike and special
guest Matthew Hughes from US rockers Atari Ferrari team up to
discuss T.Rex's 1971 album 'Electric Warrior'


Mike and Matthew explore Marc Bolan's beginnings in psychedelic
folk duo Tyrannosaurus Rex and the musical journey Marc and T.Rex
took to become the first and quintessential glam act in the UK in
the early 70's.


 


How has the music on 'Electric Warrior' inspired modern day bands
such as the Black Keys, Arcade Fire and the White Stripes?


Why did the iconic 'Get It On' spell the end for Bolan's
friendship with DJ John Peel?


Was second single 'Jeepster' released without Marc's blessing?
