Listen Later

Are you looking for the best podcast about Jimmy Cliff and the 174th greatest album of all time, The Harder They Come soundtrack? You can get it if you really want it right here on our Ole Fans account!
 
But before we get to the music we get this sabre party started by discussing the best way to eat a hot dog, night golfing, and the best song requests for dueling pianos. We also chat about Elvis impersonators, call BS on broken bones, and do a deep dive into all things leather jackets. Well, actually we spend a little more time focusing on leather zipper masks if that gives you a hard four.
 
Then at (1:12:00) the pressure drops when we cover The Harder They Come soundtrack, starring Jimmy Cliff. We discussed how this album paved the way for the popularity of reggae music in the United States, Toots and the Maytals on SNL, and the best titular tracks from movie soundtrack albums. 
 
Today's episode was sure to test your loyalty, but if you feel the love you should join us next week when we become the best Kendrick Lamar  podcast, and discuss his Pulitzer Prize winning album, Damn.
