On Thanksgiving weekend, I thought I’d take a trip down memory lane and play some of the albums that have meant the most to me in my life. These are albums that helped guide me here and keep me here today, and albums that I consider among my very best friends – ones I turn to over and over again. A much more personal, sentimental show than we usually do, but one absolutely full of great albums, all of which I’d highly recommend that you pick up for yourself.
