"I have not heard this yet but I've been a really big fan of both of his last two records, Melted and Goodbye Bread."Watch this moment
"I got a Joe W record super cheap $1.99 deal of the day mostly because most people don't really like Joe Walsh especially this record but I got it for one song in particular life's been good classic '70s guitar jam."Watch this moment
"I had a rather frightening experience listening to this years ago when I borrowed it from a friend. I was just alone in my room and nobody else was at home and I was pumping this record."Watch this moment
"the best of Merle Haggard, you know I like country music, I don't know a lot of country music so don't ask me about that but Merle seemed like a guy with some nice chops on that photo there and he's got a little cute Chihuahua thingy, seemed like a good choice."Watch this moment
"I'll show you guys this, The Essential Bob Wills, which Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys were some of the kings of country swing. I chose this record in particular because it had two of my favorite songs by him; probably their best known one is the new San Antonio Rose, but my personal favorite is Roly Poly, which is a tale of a proud father who is so proud of his chubby little boy."Watch this moment
