Send us a text

Welcome to the first-ever three-person episode of You, Me and An Album! Yankees beat writer Lindsey Adler of The Athletic and play-by-play announcer Kevin Brown (ESPN, Baltimore Orioles) join me to discuss Oasis’ 1994 debut, Definitely Maybe. We talk about what makes Oasis a band that one can get immersed in, which tracks were Lindsey’s and Kevin’s favorites, and lots of talk about the Gallagher brothers.
