Just before the pandemic hit, I was able to get Ian Thornely into a studio talk about his career from his days as a precocious keyboard player in a synth pop band through Big Wreck, his solo years, and the Big Wreck reunion. And then there was that near-detour into Velvet Revolver.Songs heard on part one of this “in their own words” episode include:

Big Wreck, That Song
Big Wreck, Between You and I
Big Wreck, The Oaf
Big Wreck, Blown Wide Open
Big Wreck, Inhale
Big Wreck, Knee Deep
