Great selection of originals and covers. I listen to Gram (and of course, Emmylou and the Burritos) all the time. Hard to believe that it's now 50 years since his untimely passing. The legend lives on - especially this year with some special Black Friday RSD Releases. Thanks, Mike, for continuing to play some of the best.
