Jimmy Ashhurst talks Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds - Ep. 69

It's been 26 years since the release of "Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds," the self-titled record from founding member of Guns N' Roses' Izzy Stradlin. Here to talk to us about that special record is bassist, Jimmy Ashurst... Jimmy is an incredible storyteller, taking us through how he consumed music as a boy in Italy to Circle Jerk punk rock house parties in Los Angeles. His first band, Broken Homes, would get signed to a label, feature a cameo in Back to The Future, and even have GNR open for THEM. That's only the beginning of Jimmy's fascinating story. How soon after GNR did Izzy reach out to Jimmy? Do they still talk? Could he see a future for the Ju Ju Hounds even after the loss of Charlie Quintana? What does Jimmy's future hold? This, and so so much more in episode 69! Follow/subscribe/leave a review!
