What happens when you get your host Burke Wasson and stalwart midlife critics Travis Boots, Wellington Davis, and Steve Strait together in the same recording session? Hot four-way action. Hear Travis' continued evolution getting into "good shoegaze" and "bluegrass with balls." Hear Steve wax poetic on more Swedish stoner rock and dark hip-hop. Listen to Wellington marvel at the eclecticism of this week's songs. Wellington and Travis also react to news of one of their favorite overlooked artists finding great success in the group this year. This is great time with fantastic songs and revealing conversation. You'll dig it.
