"Welcome to another episode of Let There Be Talk. Today I’m diving deep into a few subjects that hit me hard this week — starting with one of the greatest films ever made, Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver. We’ll get into the grit, the genius, and the madness of Travis Bickle, and how that movie still punches you in the gut almost 50 years later. After all these years what do you think happened to Travis. Then I’m switching gears into the world of metal — breaking down Metallica’s “Disposable Heroes”, Is this their greatest song? And finally, I want to talk about the loss of D’Angelo, an artist who changed the game with soul, honesty, and groove. Brown Sugar is hands down one of the best records of the 90's

In 1980 I started hitting the San Francisco Bay Area rock clubs nightly. The Stone , Old Waldorf , Mabuhay Gardens, Uncle Charlie’s, The Phoenix Theater , Keystone Berkeley, Cotati Cabaret. I had a huge thirst for Rock n Roll. Of course the big bands like Van Halen ,AC/DC , Judas Priest and Ted Nugent would come through town but that was like once a year so you had to find something more out there and that something was a blossoming local rock scene and the early kings of that scene was a band called Roadrunner. This band absolutely crushed it live and it seemed like over night they were selling out every club in the Bay. By 1985 the band was done. I will Never forget those days and especially my guest today lead singer of Roadrunner James Hume. I learned all of my early rock n roll lessons from this band. I don’t think I’ve talked to James since 1985 so it was an honor to catch up with him and really hear his story. You may not of heard of Roadrunner but I guarantee you will love the stories. From Metallica opening up for them, Dio trying to get them a record deal and the infamous band house "The Cave" Dig in my friends and hear some San Francisco Rock History. Check out some art by James Hume in this link https://www.rebelunicorn.life/james-hume Roadrunner's music can be heard here https://music.apple.com/us/album/teenage-warcry-ep/270227528 Join my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/DeanDelray Enjoy tons of Bonus episodes.

Years ago a friend sent me a YouTube clip of The Chris Robinson Brotherhood playing at one of the most insane venues I had ever seen. It looked like the band was playing on Mars. I had never seen this venue so I dug in and did some research and found out it was called The Caverns, located in Grundy County Tennessee. This venue was created by my guest Todd Mayo and it quickly became a destination venue. Everyone has played there including Chris Stapleton, Lucinda Williams, Billy Strings and more. There are a handful of absolute magical venues in the world, Red Rocks, The Gorge, Hollywood Bowl, The Sphere and now The Caverns. Todd Sits down with me for an In-Depth conversation on exactly how this place came to be. Not only has Todd created one of the coolest venues in the world he also created an Emmy Award winning TV show on PBS called The Cavern Sessions.

From there he became a founding member of Manfred Mann's Earth Band recording 8 studio albums from 1972 to 1978. After a 1 year tour with the great David Gilmour another legend Jimmy Page called him to join the super group The Firm. Most people really know Chris from his time in AC/DC recording and touring on the smash hit record The Razors Edge. That record was loaded with hits including Thunderstuck, Moneytalks and Are You Ready. After the return of Phil Rudd, Chris moved on and played in his own group until 2015 when he was asked to return to AC/DC after Phil Rudd had legal problems.

Today I do a full deep dive into Custom Guitars with Luthier Greg DeLuis. Greg makes some of the most incredible hand made guitars in the tradition of master luthier Doug Irwin. If you have seen Jerry Garcia's guitars like Tiger, Wolf or Rosebud you know that these are not some off the shelf store bought guitars. The amount of detail and work put into building those guitars is almost a forgotten craft. Greg continues the tradition even hand cutting all the inlay himself. Hear this mans amazing journey on this episode of Let There Be Talk / The Grail.
Check out all of Gregs Guitars on his instagram @deluisguitars
