James has a few new soul and R&B finds to share this week from recent digging success, and has cleaned up a stack of Stax records he's neglected in the collection for years and years ready to have their moment. You'll also hear some crunchy garage and psych on this episode including some rare Louisville originals, and Gene Pitney sneaks another one onto the show!
