Joey Molland (Badfinger guitarist)

Episode #66 - Joey Molland from Badfinger! Joey calls in to promote his new album “Be True To Yourself” and talk about the legacy of Badfinger, the first band signed to the Beatles Apple Records. Badfinger went on to four very big hit songs- “Come & Get It”, “No Matter What”, “Day After Day” & “Baby Blue.” Their song “Without You” has been recorded over 180 times, most notably for Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey. The band enjoyed a resurgence in popularity after “Baby Blue” was played at the end of the finale of Breaking Bad.
