Ulrikke Evensen on Spartan World Championships, World's Toughest Mudder, and More!With this show being based out of the United States it's easy to focus on who we have in North America.

In the end, Kirk chose "Babylon Sisters," a culmination of the band's incredible 1970s run that exemplifies Fagen and Becker's brand of pristine, laser-focused groove. It's also arguably the definitive recording of Bernard Purdie's signature Purdie Shuffle.Written by: Walter Becker and Donald FagenAlbum: Gaucho (1980)Listen/Buy...
