This week, Episode 61, Skydiggers on their incredible new album 'Dreams & Second Chances' Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson join me to discuss their new album and more.

Iconic songwriter Harlan Howard believed that songs exist in the air all around us. That’s how these new Skydiggers songs began — in the air. There were no charts given in advance. There were no tunes that were road-tested. It began with some off days...
