Hooked on Creek

Episode 20 of Hooked on Creek features a review and discussion of fans' favorite Max Creek songs. Over the past few weeks, I asked fans of Max Creek to record audio clips of themselves declaring their favorite Max Creek songs. I collected those audio clips and compiled them in this episode. If you're curious to know what they said, listen to this episode.

But since this is such a big topic to cover, I asked Dave Burland to come back on the podcast to help me out. Together, we reviewed all the audio clips submitted by fans and discussed all their favorite Max Creek songs. If you are a long-time listener to Hooked on Creek, you know Dave Burland from episode 5 and episode 13 of this podcast.

We had a lot fun putting this episode together and I think you are really going to enjoy listening to what fans picked as their favorite Max Creek songs. Big thanks to Max Creek fans Ryan, Matt, Stacey, Tim, John and Josh for sending in audio clips.

This episode also features full performances of the following two songs performed live by Max Creek:
