What do people have against taking a day off to celebrate the end of slavery? What does Rod Stewart gargle with before he goes onstage? Is Steve Strait typecast in the role of psychedelic music man? Race relations, hijinks, and music are all fertile ground for this episode - plus a few "guest appearances" from Baby Huey.
Nathan Ferrell, Steve Strait, and Wellington Davis join Burke Wasson to discuss these topics and so much more around our songs of the week from #FreshCuts Vol. 66 - one of our strongest weeks yet! The track listing is below.
