Volume 225: The Standard Stoner

We’re going to have a little extra fun with this episode. In fact, you might say I have high hopes for it.

One of my dad’s, and my, favorite artists is Willie Nelson. One of my favorite holidays is the day this episode drops, and I’m not talking about Easter.

Some of the most favorite songs-to-record in music history are on this album. So famous, just the songs you’ll hear have been recorded more than 63 hundred times. That’s what you call standards.

And the voice who sings them? A classic!

We definitely need to take a toke of Indica for this one as we get mellow.

So get ready to bake a mixture of melancholy and marijuana with one of the most recognizable voices in history singing some of history’s most recognizable vocals in Volume 225: The Standard Stoner.
