💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

Bob Dylan's, To Make You Feel My Love is another standout track on the release with some of Davidson's best vocals on the release. With minimal instrumental backing by Chaney on guitars, Gideon John Klein on cello, Donny Rels on viola,...
