On this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcomed Ricky Byrd, legendary guitarist, singer, songwriter, and producer, and a 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a member of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Ricky reflected on his years performing with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, along with his remarkable career sharing the stage and recording with some of rock and roll's biggest names, including Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Bruce Springsteen, and Smokey Robinson. But beyond the music and the accolades, Ricky discussed another accomplishment that held an especially important place in his life: his decades in recovery. The conversation explored his personal journey, the role sobriety played in sustaining his career and his life, and his commitment to carrying the message of recovery to others. It was an inspiring look at a rock-and-roll career built on talent and a life transformed through recovery.
