Jimmy James (The True Loves, The Parlor Greens) joins us to reflect on a lifetime shaped by family, feeling, and sound. We talk about hearing Smash Hits for the first time, how it scared him a bit, and how he later came to see Jimi Hendrix as a symbol of freedom. Jimmy shares stories of growing up in a house filled with records, learning guitar by ear, and watching his mom reunite with her old singing group. A soulful and sincere conversation about legacy, instinct, and playing what you feel.
