Episode 132 Part 2: Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs


Listen Later

This week I'm going to cover the history behind last week's song & artist which was Sugar Shack by Jimmy Glimer & the Fireballs. I'm REALLY giving this group the benefit of the doubt here by talking about their history and sharing something cool/interesting about them that you may or may not have known about them. I also talk about how the band went through an evolution from being a strictly instrumental rock band to doing vocal songs and the behind the scenes details on their number one hit that I talked about last week. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it again.
