86. Ricky Byrd - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

Today’s interview is with another Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, the 4th in the last 2 months! Todays guest describes himself as a keeper of the faith, the faith of rock and roll that is! With more than 40 years in the business he’s played and toured with the likes of Roger Daltrey, Ian Hunter, Paul McCartney, Alice Cooper, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, Joe Walsh, Graham Nash, Elvis Costello, Ringo Starr and most famously, and with whom he was inducted into the rock hall, as part of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts! He’s a guitarist of great distinction, Ricky Byrd!
Ricky is back with new music, glam rock infused music leaning heavily on the music that influenced him growing up, so of course we’ll talk about that plus his time with Roger Daltrey, working with one of his heroes Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter, a fantastic story about Paul McCartney and a £20 note, working with Joan Jett and his incredible memories of the Rock Hall induction.
