Volume 155: Western Favorites

Even though he was mostly into early jazz and pop, my dad liked his cowboy music too. And he bought a great collection in a 7-record box set. We’ve already featured two of those records in previous episodes. This record features a lot of music you have probably heard over the years yourself, but most likely by other bands. In fact, the eight songs you’ll hear have been recorded more than a thousand times combined. But you may have to check my math.

So get ready to hear what is really Tumbling Tumbleweeds part 3 in Volume 155: Western Favorites.
