Shinedown lead singer Brent Smith talked about the band’s elaborate acoustic tour, album re-releases, and more on “The Ralphie Radio Show.”

“You have to remember, bands like AC/DC, and The Beatles for that matter, they started back when it was a record. I think there’s a level of honor in it for them, especially being in the business as long as they have been.”

Shinedown is readily available digitally – and just re-released The Sound of Madness with bonus tracks and a live DVD. The band’s third LP spawned the hits “Second Chance” and “If You Only Knew.”
