Rob Aldridge – Mind Over Manners

Rob Aldridge – Mind Over Manners - Join us in this captivating
podcast episode as we delve into the story of Alabama-based rock
and rollers Rob Aldridge & the Proponents and their highly
anticipated second album, "Mind Over Manners." With a two-part
strategy of delivering thoughtful truths backed by tasteful
grooves, they successfully avoided the sophomore slump, presenting
a twelve-song collection that rivals their fellow Alabaman
contemporaries like Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit and Alabama
Shakes. Check out Rob Aldridge music at: Recorded at Studio 144, a
smoky loft space in Green Hill, Alabama, "Mind Over Manners" was
produced by Rob Aldridge and Jay Burgess of The Pollies. The
Proponents, along with additional talents like Clint Chandler on
keyboards, Caleb Elliott on cello, and Kimi Samson on violin,
poured their hearts into the creation of this album. However, their
triumph is bittersweet. The passing of Proponents bassist Stone
Anderson from an accidental drug overdose in April 2021 deeply
shook both the band and the North Alabama music scene. For
Aldridge, working on "Mind Over Manners" became a poignant reminder
that it was the last project he would share with his childhood
friend Stone. Explore the highs and lows of this remarkable band's
journey as they pour their souls into their music. Check out the
