Cadet Episode 3: Tell Mama (About Cadet)

This season of the VMP Anthology Podcast--our 16th!--is devoted to telling the story of the eight album box set devoted to Cadet Records, a short-lived jazz, blues, and soul music imprint underneath the Chess banner that launched artists like Minnie Riperton and Charles Stepney.  In this episode, we talk about the non-Muddy Waters albums in the box, and hear incredible stories about Etta James falling asleep on Paul Simon, and how the Beatles' White Album inspired a wild Ramsey Lewis, among other wild tales of the short days of Cadet.  Stick around for a hint about what's next in VMP Anthology.  You can buy the box set, The Story of Cadet Records, here now.  Written, hosted and produced by Stephen Anderson Executive Produced by Andrew Winistorfer Produced and edited by Jim Hanke of the Vinyl Emergency Podcast
