On this episode of Memphis Musicology, we explore the brief yet amazing life of James Lee Lindsey Jr., better known by the stage name Jay Reatard. Before his untimely death in 2010, Jay was a blazing force in the worlds of punk and garage rock who left behind a legacy of crass genius that won’t soon be matched. We also discuss musician Pat Hare, the man whose blistering and heavily distorted guitar playing from the 1950s helped to lay the groundwork for heavy metal.
