What do you love about music?

To begin with,

everything. Everything. Putting on a great show is the most important thing you can do. One great rock show can change the world.

Welcome to sound opinions. I'm Jim Diregatus, the pop music critic at the Chicago

Suntimes. And I'm Greg Cut. I write about Rock and Roll for the Chicago Tribune. Today

on the world's only rock and roll talk show, we have a band that is going to blow your doors off.

I make no bones about it.

Now they're a wonderful group.

It's a great, great live band, The Bel Ray's Lisa Kekowla, the lead singer, an amazing combination of Tina Turner

and Iggy Pop. I mean, I've never seen a modern day vocalist embody those two amazing live performers as well as this one woman does.

She's Firebrand, she and the band came in here.

We had a chat with them.

They played a couple songs.

It's a great performance.

We're also going to dive into the new album by Tom Petty. He hasn't been heard from in a solo guys in about a decade or at all with the

Heartbreakers for about four years. It's an interesting album, lots of talk about.

And we're going to look at the latest by Ferrell Williams, probably best known as a member of the

production team, and the Neptune's who've worked with Justin Timberlake and Brittany Spears and all sorts of people like that. But first, as as always we have some rock and roll news Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no! Well, we can't take her this week,

and her friends are one another strange.
