165. RAW OF FAME: novelty trinity
57:46||Season 4, Ep. 165From the RAW archives, 4-Track Man consolidates 3 classic RAW shows for one glorious hour devoted to Lou's slavish re-creations of his 3 most-favorite novelty songs of the 1970's. The Streak, Convoy and Kung Fu Fighting! Lou non-ironically considers these among his greatest achievements. This put him in a great mood for these 3 shows and he and Adelle's conversations before and after are simply delightful. A wonderful introduction to the RAW Impressions podcast if 4-Track Man says so himself.The best way to support the ongoing podcasting, live event, retail store juggernaut that is Barlow Family General is to shop our store. Lou does bespoke lyric art, sells hard-to-find vinyl from his bands and Adelle has curated a super cute/functional selection of home goods, gifts and a dwindling selection of her own knitwear (get it before it's all gone)! Everything we sell that's not us is from indie DIY creators like ourselves.https://barlowfamilygeneralstore.com/online shopping 24/7.. OR open by appointment in Greenfield MA, meet and greet style, for shoppers and fans alike! Good times!hello@barlowfamilygeneralstore.net
