They discuss seeing RDC at Nashoba, the band lineup (including Dunk Carter, Dave Botkin, Tony Rapp, and Ron Richards), and RDC winning a Tommy Award for Best Original Band and performing originals, with Boo Mitchell presenting the award. Rice shares experiences playing listening-room shows at South Main Sounds and his long involvement with the Memphis Songwriters Association, reflects on early musical influences from radio and his parents’ records, and recounts his Army service as a flight surgeon.

Derrick and Jeff invite the band Standard Issue—Mark Vines, Dennis Rosti, Tory Jay, and Jesse—to discuss the group’s formation, members’ backgrounds, and plans for the future. They explain how Dennis and Jesse began jamming after meeting through FAA work, how Tory joined, and how Mark came aboard after the original bassist Brandon left. The band teases the possibility of adding Johnny Lamb on keys and vocals, talks about the challenges of singing while playing, and shares influences ranging from Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson to Gene Simmons and Keith Moon. They run through their cover-heavy setlist (including Stone Temple Pilots, Audioslave, Alice In Chains, Metallica, Dio, and more), recap a successful first gig at the Delta Fair, promote an April 2 show at The 10th Inning in Southaven, and reveal upcoming recording sessions at Sun Studio with artist Michael Inger.

In this episode, Derrick and Jeff interviews drummer Mark Sansom of the cover band Souled Out, starting with stories about Mark’s son Gunner Sansom, a Jerry Lee Lewis–style pianist and singer who taught himself keys and surprised Mark with deep-cut song choices. Mark discusses Souled Out’s lineup, busy private-event schedule, and public gigs at places like Dan McGuinness, Lafayette’s, and Knuckleheads, then dives into drumheads, sticks, playing hard, and learning to sing as a working drummer. He traces his path from a junk first kit and early bands to Memphis venues like Stage Stop, road work in the Midwest, and even opening for Starship, sharing influences from Ronnie Tutt to Eric Singer and views on interpretation vs. note-for-note playing, clicks, and tracks.
