Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Some of us have been down the road: namely, we pick up an album and it simply doesn’t click. However somehow along the way, the album grows on us, and in some cases it goes on a road to greatness in our personal collections. Tonight, Dave and Coop talk about albums that grew on them – and the stories behind how that happened.
In this episode, Dave smokes the Espinosa Murcielago de Oro and Coop smokes the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Sidekick
