Tasting Notes

The Candyman makes an appearance in the first set and we dig an Althea >Sailor> Saint as it all just “fits” the early 80s. Set II is where the magic happens kicking off with a monster Shakedown Jam into a super transition into Franklins. Worth the price of admission and your time listening today!
