That Driving Beat

2 + 2 = ?

James went and sweated in a barn full of stuff hoping to turn up some amazing rare record finds… and didn’t have much luck! Oh well, there were a few worthwhile things there, and you’ll never find the grails if you don’t get out there and dig for them!

You’ll hear rare R&B shakers, popcorn steppers, Northern-Soul-starter-kit staples, a comparison between two very different versions of “I Keep Forgettin”, and a set of heavy, heavy psych and rock shakers, including an angry, righteous, blistering anti-war protest song from a source you might not expect.
