This time on the show we’re gonna take a trip back in time to 1975. It was the year the mood ring was introduced, remember those? It was also a big year for Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, who released her landmark tune “The Pill” and Bob Dylan released one of his most beloved albums

Plus we’ll have the usual dose of Music discovery, including a new song from TX a singer & songwriter Presley Haile
