Episode 187
This week, in Episode 187, Aaron highlights a group from Mobile, Alabama that take their name from the state’s rust-colored soil while Brent spotlights a Jacksonville, Florida band named after a famous 17th-century axe murderess.
Featuring a blend of classic country, rockabilly, gospel-fed soul, and Delta blues, Aaron picks out three tracks from The Red Clay Strays.
With a debut album that was slated to be produced by the late Ronnie Van Zant before his untimely death, Brent picks out three songs from Molly Hatchet.
