BABY BLUE!! The Music of Badfinger

JagCore Professor of Jams Scott OKen is back to talk one of the all-time best bands you've never heard of: Badfinger. Known mainly for hits such as "Come and Get It", "No Matter What", and "Baby Blue", the story of this UK-based band is incredibly compelling (and tragic). We talk about Badfinger's deep connection with the Beatles, and how the band is named for the working title of a Beatles song. We dive into their first four albums, which are as good as any classic rock records from the early 70s. And we discuss their place in the Pantheon as well as the history of "power pop". And did you know that Harry Nilsson's "Without You" was written by Badfinger? Tune in for ultimate education!
