Black Pumas

On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits with Eric Burton and Adrian Quesada of the Austin-bred psychedelic soul duo Black Pumas. ... They get into the duo's upbringings in California and Texas, early music inspirations such as Willie Nelson and Nirvana, and the story of how they formed after Eric sang to Adrian over the phone. They also talk about Adrian's time playing in Prince's backing band, Eric's days busking along the Santa Monica Pier and his stint on American Idol, and the quick success of their Grammy-winning self-titled 2019 debut. They dive into the making of their latest album, Chronicles Of A Diamond, how they received blessings from Rodríguez and Tracy Chapman to cover "Sugar Man" and "Fast Car," and, of course, some "Top 5s." Tune in for an exciting and inspirational conversation with the coolest to ever do it — Black Pumas! (... And you'll even get to hear Eric sing a bit of their record-breaking hit song, "Colors")
