As the needle drops on another episode of Music in My Shoes, we're whisked away to a time when movie scenes and their soundtracks became inseparable in our minds. I fondly recall the arresting notes of The Police's "Roxanne" echoing through "48 Hrs.," and who could forget John Cusack serenading us outside a window with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" in "Say Anything"? It's a walk down the memory lane, peppered with personal anecdotes that'll have you grinning, including the charming mix-up with Gabriel's song approval and Jimmy's own encounters of being mistaken for Cusack. Ah, the joys of a musically infused nostalgia!
This episode's heartbeat is set to the rhythm of Cannon Rogers' pedal steel guitar, as he shares his serendipitous journey from pandemic pastime to sharing the stage with Cracker. His story is a testament to the magnetic pull of music, highlighting the raw energy of live performances and the influences that drive a musician's passion. From the complexities of mastering his instrument to the profound effect of playing alongside his idols, Cannon's tale is a harmonic blend of dedication and dream-chasing that resonates with anyone who's felt the call of the stage.
Finally, Cannon and I sink into the grooves of his favorite albums that have sculpted his sonic landscape. With tales wrapped around each record, from Steve Earle's "Transcendental Blues" to the live ecstasy of the Grateful Dead's "Without a Net," we unpack the profound impact these albums have had on our lives. And as the show closes, we invite you to connect with us, sharing your own musical journeys and the tunes that have soundtracked your most memorable moments. Step into our shoes, and let's keep the beat going together on Music in My Shoes.
