@45RPM Calling Out The Ghosts: JJT & Michelle Thompson (The Wayside) + Producer Matt Goldman (Underoath, Luxury) discuss new music

If you think True Tunes host and founder John J. Thompson is
objective about music - merely a dispassionate observer or
fact-gathering journalist... think again. "Before I wrote about
music," he admits, "before I worked in the industry at all -
before I promoted concerts or started True Tunes back in the 80s
- I was a kid with a guitar, bad hair, and way more confidence
than talent. Inspired by heroes like T Bone Burnett, Steve
Taylor, Bob Dylan, Bono, Mark Heard, Bruce Cockburn, The 77s, and
all of the bands Terry Scott Taylor was in, I knew I had to make
music. Everything I have done since then has flowed from this
original inspiration. I am definitely biased about this
stuff." 


And despite how busy he has been helping other people with their
projects, It's been a long time since Thompson has released new
music of his own. With the release of a new double single: "Ghost
In The Needle" / "Not OK At All"  that time has come and he
is ready to show his hand. In this special "extended" 45RPM
episode, JJT is joined by his wife - and longsuffering Wayside
bandmate - Michelle Lynn Thompson to discuss their new songs in
particular and their somewhat complicated creative relationship
in general. Elsewhere in the show, he sits down with producer
Matt Goldman, famous for his work with Underoath, The Chariot,
Luxury, and others, to talk about the production process.
