It’s the 75th edition of The Roadhouse Podcast – the diamond edition. And, diamonds are a fitting analogy. The world outside The Roadhouse creates great pressure, pushing out all but the purest blues carbon. The result is music that’s as tough and beautiful as the world’s hardest mineral. This week, the carbon is comprised of Debbie Davies, Bo Ramsey, Steve Arvey, Henry Gray, and Gonstermachers. The Roadhouse Rewound segment will definitely have your toes tapping. And, for the second week in a row, we have audio comments from a Roadhouse listener. Like any good diamond would, the 75th Roadhouse Podcast will leave you with a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye.
