The Collection: Ep. 8 – ‘Down For The Count: The Y&T Album Review’ by Tim Durling

We are excited to announce that this week’s episode has a very special guest and friend to 2 Loud 2 Old Music as we interview author Tim Durling. You know Tim from his YouTube channel, Tim’s Vinyl Confessions, and you will love it as we discuss his new book called ‘Down for the Count: The Y&T Album Review’. The book walks through all the details of the band’s studio albums and we discuss that as well as where Tim got the idea and how the amazing artist Hugh Syme came about doing the cover of the book.

Tim has some great stories and we even talk about why we think Y&T didn’t make it to the A list of rock bands in the 80’s. A lot of missteps along the way and not the band’s fault…in my opinion at least. They had the songs, they had the guitars, they had it all…what happened??? We also talk about Sean Kelly who does the foreward and mention a lot of the guest that are in the book…including yours truly!! Me!!

‘Down For The Count: The Y&T Album Review’ By Tim Durling

If you are a Y&T fan or you know a Y&T fan, this book is for you. My buddy, Tim Durling, has released his 2nd book which talks about all the Y&T albums. I received my copy and I can’t wait to dive and read it. If you need a great Christmas gift idea, this is it. Got to Amazon.com and buy a copy now. You won’t be disappointed. I mean, look at that cover…it is awesome. It was designed by the great Hugh Syme who is one of Canada’s premier graphic artist. You also have a forward by Sean Kelly who you know as the guitarist for Lee Aaron, Nelly Furtado, Helix and Crash Kelly to name a few.

And as a bonus, you get me, John T. Snow as one of the contributors to the book. What more could you want. Ok, you do get Martin Popoff, Pete Pardo, Mike Ladano and a ton of other great people which is probably a better reason, but you know, I’m not bad either!!!
