Oh yeah, that's the Hollywood Blue Flames singing about their "Jalopy To Drive". Kicking us off we heard the title track of Mike McLeod's new CD, "Going Home" and then Arthur Adams explained about how "You Can't Win For Losing".

Mike McLeod is from Imboden, Arkansas. He plays acoustic guitar with his harp on a rack kind of like someone else we all know. "Going Home" was recorded in Jonesboro, Arkansas in the Fall of 2009. We're going to feature two more songs from this fine CD, "Everybody Knew Me But You", and "A Hard One".
