Within a single year, Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless was faced with the deaths of both her rock hero and her musical muse. Her downward spiral and climb back from the brink led to Death By Rock and Roll, one of the first great albums of 2021. In this episode, The Itch explores the album, as well as the infamous "27 Club" and the classic rock influences that weave throughout. We also debut our new Flavor of the Week playlist.
