Strolling Down Memory Lane With Walter Egan

While he acknowledges his status as a “one hit wonder,” there’s more to Walter Egan than meets the ear.

Our conversation covers many topics, including the Canadian group whose 1957 hit became an inspiration for the musical feel of Magnet and Steel. He also reminisces about two musical power couples he was fortunate to work with in the 1970’s. Before his work with Buckingham-Nicks on his first two albums, he also worked with Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris in the early 1970’s, Plus, he was sampled by Eminem in on the song We Made You (2009).

Oh….These days, you can listen to Walt’s Vault, a weekly radio show on HippieRadio945 out of Nashville.

Enjoy!

Oldies Without Borders

It’s “Music History with a Twist.”

Oldies Without Borders is a weekly deep dive into pop music: the hits and forgotten 45’s that were released on vinyl from the early 1950’s to the 1980’s.

It’s been on the air since May 2002.

If it was released on vinyl, cassette, or 8-track, I play it.

I also chat with the people that made the music, with full interviews posted here at VinylProfessor.blog.

It currently airs on the following community radio stations in Ontario: INDI 101-5FM (Hamilton), Halton Hills Online Radio (Georgetown), Sunview 102 (Goderich), and Radio42North (Lakeshore)
