Season 3, Episode 44

Lions and Ghosts may just be the best 80s alternative band you've never heard of. Hugely popular in southern California, they unfortunately didn't break out.

Their 1987 album, Velvet Kiss, Lick of the Lime has just been reissued. Steve and T-Bone had the pleasure of talking with original guitarist Michael Lockwood.

As an industry insider, he discusses the bands history, this album and working with high profile artists.
