Episode 76 – Dad Rock

May 05, 2015

Episode 76 looks at the music that bounced around the walls of Mint Pillow's childhood home while growing up. Joined by the most special of guests, Poppa Hixon, Pillow and his Dad dive into Jazz, Big Band, Golden Era Rock, and Soul. With Pillow being a recent Dad himself there's a symmetry to the Episode that can't be overlooked, as Father and Son look towards the past to understand the future, getting lost in Dad Rock.
