Episode 161
Aaron introduces Brent to an indie folk duo from Eagle Rock, California while Brent familiarizes Aaron with the pre-disco music of a brother band originally from the Isle of Man.
Starting as solo artists before collaborating to form a band with harmonized vocals and acoustic guitars at the forefront, Aaron picks out three songs from The Milk Carton Kids.
With a catalog of hit songs released before their Saturday Night Fever renaissance, Brent highlights three songs from the early career of the Bee Gees.
