Here’s one of the super-secret tapings I’ve been talking about! Helix – Part One was the Capitol Years with Martin Popoff and Tim Durling. I twisted Grant’s arm and talked him into covering the rest of the Helix story. In Part Two, Tim and I joined Grant to discuss everything Helix from Over 60 Minutes With… to Live in Buffalo. There’s a lot of story there, from Paul Hackman’s unfortunate death to the lineup changes that followed. Some great music too: Back For Another Taste, It’s A Business Doing Pleasure, Half-ALIVE and B-Sides being some of the highlights we discussed.
In Part Three we’ll finish the story, going from Rocking In My Outer Space to “Brother From Another Mother”. We will also discuss the first two Helix albums in detail since some killer reissues fall in these years.
Gimme an R and check out Grant’s Rock Warehaus!


Cool. Education time as I don’t know any of these albums.

Grant didn’t really either, so Tim and I went to town! Next time will possibly be even better.

Well, with you and Tim as co-host, he didn’t need to do much anyway.

He was straight up with us — “I don’t know these albums”. So he just let us go to work, and I imagine it’ll be the same next time. Grant is a great host – he knows when to ask questions and when to get out of the way.
