I don't usually put out an episode on a Friday in fact I've never done it but today we have a brand new Wallflowers records out and I thought what better way to celebrate it than to have Jakob come by and talk all about it. Exit Wounds is a smoking record taking it back to that classic Bringing Down The Horse sound. Butch Walker was onboard this time around to Produce and it works big time. We also dive into the Documentary film Jakob made called Echo in The Canyon that came out in 2018. If you haven't seen the film stream it tonight. Do yourself a favor and buy this record today and catch The Wallflowers out on selective dates around the States this summer.
