In a Big Country

We recently had an amazing trip to Scotland, so this episode is filled with Scottish musicians and sounds. We also offer a bevy of new music and a short tribute to the one and only Greg Allman.

Summer is weirding the schedule, but we will have another archival show in the next 2 weeks to tide you over til our return. The next theme will be prog metal from 2000 to now. I wanted to veer away from the early days of prog metal and get into the newer stuff. Perhaps it should even be 2010 forward just to be more limited.

Send questions, comments, and of course perfect album sides to soundscape@progrock .com Soundscape has been through so many transitions and we have lost many along the way, help us build our audience by letting others know about us. Your bumbling DJ thanks you.
