Episode 45 - Queen ”A Day at the Races”

Episode 45 covers the fifth Queen studio album, 1976's "A Day at the Races." It was the band's first completely self-produced album, and the first not to feature producer Roy Thomas Baker. The album serves as a companion album to the band's previous album, A Night at the Opera, both taking their names from Marx Brothers films, as well as sharing similar packaging and eclectic musical themes. Mark, Kevin, Alex, and Chris take you on a historical journey surrounding the album as well as share our favorites and not-so favorites from the record. We go on a deep dive track-by-track listen of this hard rock album as well as share personal stories of discovering Queen's "A Day at the Races." Tune in next week for Episode 46 covering the sixth Queen album "News of the World."Available at https://lightthesky.net/podcasts/queen/a-day-at-the-races/ and on all podcast streaming platforms (just search "Light the Sky Podcast.")Follow "Light the Sky Podcast" on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to stay up-to-date with all things LTS.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lighttheskypodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LighttheSkyPod1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LightTheSkyPodcast/
