Episode 79
Aaron and Brent look at two different compilation albums: one celebrating 20 years of music and the other curated to assist a musician in need.
Founded in 2001 by Scott Robinson and Dan Herrington and headquartered in Nashville, Aaron highlights three songs from the new tribute album, “Amerikinda 20 Years Of Dualtone”, which celebrates the artists of the Dualtone Music Group.
Created as a way to help a fellow musician with her medical bills after an MS diagnosis, Brent spotlights three songs from the 1993 benefit album “Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams”.
