The Good Music Show
Welcome to the Good Music Show with Danny and Julius! Each episode they will give each other an album or playlist based around a theme, then talk about the music and artists that make it. They'll cover a wide spread of artists that they care deeply about: from 2Pac to Willie Nelson, John Prine to Donna Summer, Ray Charles to Future. Keeping an open mind to new styles allows Danny and Julius, as well as listeners, the opportunity to step out of individualized music bubbles and find new music to love.

S1 E4 The Mavericks' "In Time" x Azealia Banks' "Broke with Expensive Taste" - Party Soundtracks
PLUG ALERT! Check out Danny's guest blog about Willie Nelson. It was written for the incredible music blog "I Enjoy Music" and while you're there, definitely subscribe and browse around for some fun and thoughtful music writing.
Today we take on the difficult task of finding an album that could soundtrack a party front to back, without skipping.
First we'll talk about "In Time" by the Mavericks - a timeless sounding album that brought the Mavericks back from hiatus. Combining the sounds of country, Tex-Mex, swing, blues, and good ol' rock n'roll - the Mavericks deliver an album that will have you dancing in the moonlight the whole way through.
Then we'll talk about the infamous Azealia Banks and her mind-blowing album "Broke with Expensive Taste." This album is like a dream, constantly throwing curveballs at you and testing the limits of what is possible in a rap album. Of course we'll talk about some of the controversies involved with this extremely talented rapper and singer, but we argue why her music should be given all the flowers it deserves.
Though these albums come from completely different worlds, you'll be unable to resist the skilled musicianship flooding both of these albums. And if you put on both of these albums at a party, you'll find yourself still dancing for hours after the party ends.
