This week, I am joined by Frank Hannon, guitarist for Tesla, and we’re diving into songs from throughout the band’s nearly 40 year history. 

We also discuss: the secret to the longevity of their debut album “Mechanical Resonance;” the impact that their album “Five Man Acoustical Jam” had on the unplugged craze of the 90s; how the changing musical climate impacted their 1991 album “Psychotic Supper;” how the 2000’s was a transitional period for the band; and the announcement of the band’s cover album “Real To Reel” being remastered on vinyl for Record Store Day 2024!
