Ep. 266 - A Live Listen (Gentle Giant - Acquiring The Taste)

Today we commemorate the 50th anniversary of Gentle Giant's sophomore album Acquiring the Taste by giving it a listen live.  Stripping away much of the blues & soul influences found on their self-titled debut, the band takes a far more experimental approach this go around; declaring that it was their goal to "expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of being very unpopular”.  This one's quite the journey.  Join us won't you?!
