In this Album Dive episode, I’m joined by Doug Aldrich of ⁠The Dead Daisies⁠ to break down the band’s first-ever blues album, Lookin’ For Trouble. This powerful release reimagines timeless classics by icons like Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and more.

We also take a deep dive into Doug’s epic career, highlighting his favorite tracks and memories from his time with Whitesnake, Dio, House of Lords, and Lion. (Yes, we even talk about Lion’s iconic performance of the Transformers: The Movie theme song!)
