The end of 2024 is just days away, but before we turn the calendar to 2025, it's time to look back on what the year offered us in terms of music. Andrew and first-time guest Dakota Jones (Voices of Wrestling) resurrect "A Taste of" from the old format of the podcast, looking at a sampling of songs that came out in 2024 that they enjoyed. It's not meant to be a definitive "best of" list, and there are some big names who did not make the cut, but Andrew and Dakota still have plenty of great music to gush about. Artists played include Brittany Howard, Sturgill Simpson, Ghost, The Smile, Magdalena Bay, Charley Crockett, Judas Priest, Sierra Ferrell, and many more. Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and thank you to everyone who listened to the podcast in 2024!
