Episode 164: MARK RIDDELL — Houston's Hardest Working Bass Player
Summary: <p>This week we're joined by Houston's hardest working bass player MARK RIDDELL, who recently completed his first solo album <em>Corporeal Pilot</em>. Patrick got his hands on an advance copy of Mark's CD and has been raving about it, as you will hear during the show. </p> <p>Mark has been a fixture in the Houston music scene for years, playing bass with countless acts on stage and in the studio, including the Mighty Orq, the Allen Oldies Band, Trish Cramblet, Katie Rushing, Sam Morrow, Leon III, Charlie & the Regrets, and Mike Stinson... just to name a few. We talk about songwriting, the state of today's so-called "country music" and the shape of the music industry in general... and of course, kill off a few songs.</p> <p>Watch this episode on YouTube:<br> <a href="https://youtu.be/q0HFIusQIkM" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/q0HFIusQIkM</a></p> <ul> <li>"<a href="https://orcd.co/coveroftheyear" rel="nofollow">Cover of the Year</a>" — Mark Riddell</li> <li> <a href="https://www.houstonpress.com/music/things-to-do-mark-riddell-presents-corporeal-pilot-at-the-continental-club-12958246" rel="nofollow">Mark Riddell Takes A Turn With Corporeal Pilot</a> — Gladys Fuentes, Houston Press</li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/someguyonbass/" rel="nofollow">Mark Riddell on Instagram</a></li> </ul> <h3>Show dates</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://blaggards.com/shows/" rel="nofollow">Blaggards.com</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/blaggards/events/" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bandsintown.com/a/3808" rel="nofollow">Bandsintown</a></li> </ul> <h3>Follow us on social media</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/blaggards/" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/blaggards/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a></li> </ul> <h3>Become a Patron</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">Join Blaggards on Patreon</a> for bonus podcast content, live tracks, rough mixes, and other exclusives.</li> </ul> <h3>Rate us</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slappercast-a-weekly-talk-show-with-blaggards/id1452061331" rel="nofollow">Rate and review SlapperCast on iTunes</a> </li> </ul> <h3>Questions?</h3> <p>If you have questions for a future Q&A episode, </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">leave a comment on Patreon</a>, or </li> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">tweet them to us</a> with the hashtag <strong>#slappercast</strong>.</li> </ul><p>Special Guest: Mark Riddell.</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/blaggards" rel="payment">Support SlapperCast</a></p>
