The Heart of Rock & Roll Lives On: A Huey Lewis & The News Playlist with Bill Gibson
Description
This week, I’m joined by Bill Gibson — drummer and percussionist for Huey Lewis & The News — to help curate the ultimate playlist celebrating one of the most enduring American rock bands of the last 40 years.
Together, we’re pulling from every corner of the catalog: massive radio staples, longtime fan favorites, and a handful of deeper cuts that deserve a little more love. What makes this curation especially unique is the perspective — it’s built through the lens of both a lifelong fan and a founding band member who was there when these songs came to life.
Beyond the music, Bill and I dig into what’s next for the band, including the possibility of new music, upcoming reissues, and even the potential for a remix of their self-titled 1980 debut album. It’s part playlist, part history lesson, and a rare inside look at a band whose songs are still woven into the fabric of rock radio.
