.Welcome back everyone, happy to have you here for another Musical Episode!
Life has been rather hectic these days with the world slowly reopening, lots of really positive signs and it’s been great to be able to see some people again. That has also meant an increase in my already overwhelming workload so I’ve been struggling to find some balance. I hope that doesn’t mean too much time away from the podcast but it’s certainly been a factor recently. As I said before, I hope to post weekly but that just won’t always be possible and that’s ok!

Anyhow, this week I wanted to put together a mix of some of my favorite country 45s. It’s not something I spend a lot of time or energy on in terms of 45s but these are all ones I picked up because they’re favorites or seemed interesting while out digging.

I hope you enjoy today’s mix and we’ll be back next week likely with another northern soul inspired mix, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens!

Hope everyone is holding up ok and finding some peace.
