James is back with more That Driving Beat! He got his founding co-host of the show moved down to Texas, and now it's a one-man radio dance party! If you know us, you know if we have to drive somewhere, we're going to find some records on the way, and that's exactly what we did! Everything you hear on this episode came from a Louisville to San Antonio road trip in a car already packed heavy with Uwe's treasured record collection. We hit up fertile record-digging pastures in Memphis, Little Rock, Austin, and San Antonio, and here's the harvest that went into James' record box! Will we every hear any of Uwe's finds on That Driving Beat, or will they just be shared at his upcoming DJ gigs in San Antonio? Who knows? You'll have to keep listening to That Driving Beat to see!

James went and sweated in a barn full of stuff hoping to turn up some amazing rare record finds... and didn't have much luck! Oh well, there were a few worthwhile things there, and you'll never find the grails if you don't get out there and dig for them! You'll hear some rare R&B shakers, popcorn steppers, Northern-Soul-starter-kit staples, a comparison between two versions of "I Keep Forgettin", and a set of heavy, heavy psych and rock shakers, including an angry, righteous, blistering anti-war protest song from a source you might not expect.
