Ep 302: 25 Years of Taproot - ‘Gift’ with Phil Lipscomb
In episode 302 of the podcast, we’re rejoined by Phil Lipscomb, bassist extraordinare of the band Taproot to look back on 25 years of their major label debut, ‘Gift’.
We dig into their early days leading up to being signed, how Atlantic Records/Velvet Hammer took notice, the writing and production of the record, and its legacy in the nu metal scene.
We start the episode catching up with Phil about all things Taproot from the last few years. Shows, festivals, playing new music out and everything in between.
Phil is legitimately one of our favorite guests, and this conversation was a blast. We think you’ll enjoy the stories behind this classic record from 2000.
