Def Leppard: High and Dry

Shout out to the fans of Sheffield United!! With that said, are you ready to embark on a rhythmic journey through the evolution of Def Leppard's sound? Prepare to be enticed by the melodic transformation from heavy metal to hard rock in this deep dive into their second studio album, High and Dry. We unwrap the history of this renowned band from Sheffield, England, and the ascension to platinum status under the watchful eye of producer Robert "Mutt" Lange. From the creativity behind the album cover to the double entendre of the song "High and Dry," we leave no stone unturned in decoding the secrets behind their success.

Brace yourself for an electrifying discussion around the band's hit single "Let It Go," a perfect concoction of AC/DC and Deep Purple influences. We amplify Lange’s role in propelling them to stardom while providing their audience with a lyrical representation of the rock star lifestyle. But the beat doesn't stop there. We take a detour to discuss the synergy between Steve Clarke  and Phil Collen and how their music can get your adrenaline pumping.  For a bit of humor, we sprinkle in a vital lesson on the importance of leaving a note in a hit and run accident. 

But hold on, there's more! From celebrating runners, whiskey drinkers, and puppy owners, to the glamorous yet tumultuous life of an NBA player with a model girlfriend, we cover it all. We tip our hats off to poker players and engage in a lively chat about Nigel Tufnell from Spinal Tap and the band's song "Mirror, Mirror". We cap it off with a nostalgic reflection on the hit song "Me and My Wine" and its 1984 remix. So buckle up, you're in for a wild and musical ride!
