Jimmy Herring: ARU, Panic, and Beyond | 100 Guitarists Podcast

This week, hosts Nick Millevoi and the shamelessly biased Jason Shadrick dive deep—much, much deeper than Nick ever imagined he would go—into the vast discography of the great Jimmy Herring. They enlist Rob Compa, formerly of Dopapod and now of Neighbor, whose greatest qualification is living in Burlington, Vermont, 'the hub of all things jam bands'.Maybe you’ve heard Jimmy Herring is amazing, but the sheer 'jam-ness' of his output is intimidating. We systematically go through Herring’s entire discography and in the process ruin Nick’s Apple Music algorithm. But common ground was found in Frogwings' Croakin’ at Toads, which found a new fan in Nick even though he’s slightly John Popper-phobic. Rob chimes in on his favorite nuggets from the catalog and discusses what exactly makes Herring gain such a fanbase among guitar nerds. Is it Jazz Is Dead, Phil Lesh, the ferocious McLaughlin collaboration? Plus, we decide that Herring’s “Scapegoat Blues” might be an all-time jam-band standard and required repertoire for any aspiring guitarist.
