Blue-in-Green:PODCAST

Welcome to Episode #98 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which sees Imran and Rhonda dive into the latest project from The Purple Majesty himself 'Welcome 2 America'. Amongst the swathe of P releases to see the light of day since his passing, 'Welcome 2 America' holds the distinction of being the first full-length album to be released as originally intended. Shelved by the artist himself, inexplicably, for 11 years, Sony/Legacy bring the project to peoples' attention. Hailed for its sometimes harsh assessment of contemporary America, the thoughts and views expressed throughout are just as relevant today as they were 11 years ago. Join in the conversation to hear us discuss why we love the album as much as we do, why we feel the posthumous releases have just nailed it every time and what we'd love to see tackled by the Estate next. Also, this conversation took place in September - it was supposed to take place in August but Rhonda was unavailable due to plans to see Vanilla Ice in concert so you definitely want to hear her explanation for that comment if nothing else :) www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD The Blue-in-Green:PODCAST unveils new episodes on the first, second and third Mondays of the month.
