#74 – John Waite – Rough and Tumble

John Waite - Rough and Tumble

John Waite is best known for a couple of #1 hits “Missing You,” and “When I See You Smile” (with Bad English) from the Eighties.  He’s just released a brand new disc called Rough and Tumble, which returns him to the rock roots of his late Seventies band the Babys.  Icon Fetch talks to Waite about the bare-bones approach he took with the new album, collaborating with Kyle Cook, guitarist for Matchbox Twenty, and the inspiration behind “Missing You.”
