(October 2021) Episode 361 is LES PAUL. His primary legacy is as a pioneer of the solid-body electric guitar that still carries his name. But he earns an episode here for his innovative guitar playing, with his fast trills and fancy licks, and invention of multi-layer, variable-speed recording techniques. Any guitar aficionado must revere this. But his pop hits with Mary Ford are not my thing.
Favorite song: Lover
Compared to expectations: same
