    From Juke Joints to Journeys: The Overlooked Blues
    2025/07/09
    They say the blues is a ghost genre—faded into vinyl grooves and backroom dive bars. They say it’s been overtaken, out-streamed, and out-hyped by shinier sounds and algorithm-friendly beats. But let me tell you something, fam... the blues didn’t fade. It just lit a cigarette, leaned against the amp, and watched the world catch up. This is Episode 94 of Overlooked Tracks, and this time around, we’re not just spinning records—we’re testifying. We’re tuning in to a genre that’s not just alive... but kicking with fresh boots and electric grit. The DNA of the blues is everywhere—threaded through rock, soaked into soul, sampled in hip-hop, and sizzling inside Americana like being served some southern fried kitchen on a hot sunny day. Festivals are booking blues acts again. Venues are filling up. And young cats are out there bending notes with fresh pain and wild hope. For this episode, we’re gonna take a ride—from Maxwell Street grit in Chicago to global groove. We're shining the spotlight on artists who are pushing the genre forward without forgetting where it came from. Because the blues? The blues is not some museum relic. It’s a living, growling, adaptable spirit. It changes suits, but never loses its edge. Now turn that volume up. It’s time to feel the weight and the wonder... of the blues!

    From Vinyl to Vengeance: Rock’s Overlooked Icons
    2025/04/04
    Welcome to Episode 89 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—hosted by me, Kenny Chiba. 🎸🔥 This time, we’re turning the dial all the way up and diving into the thunderous world of rock music—from the underground legends of the past to the genre-benders shaping its future. This episode is for the headbangers, the riff chasers, and anyone who knows that a good guitar solo can speak louder than words. We’re talking indie rock with bite, heavy metal that hits like a freight train, and the intricate brilliance of Japanese math rock that’ll leave going bananas. But we’re not just about what’s new—we’re also paying homage to overlooked rock from history that still hits just as hard today. These are the tracks that time tried to forget, but couldn’t silence. Whether it’s a fuzz-drenched riff from a ‘70s deep cut or a genre-pushing banger from a present-day band on the rise, this episode is proof that rock—real, gut-punching, soul-shaking rock—is timeless. So lace up your boots, plug in your air guitar, and get ready to feel the feedback. This is Episode 89 of Overlooked Tracks, where the past and present collide in glorious volume.
