The Ledge #680: Inside The Hudson Compound

If you happen to follow me on social media (and why wouldn't you?) you have probably noticed that every week I post a collage of some of the albums I've listened to over the course of the week that I note as from "the Hudson Compound". Well, tonight's show is an audio version of one of those collages. Every track I played tonight comes from a record that has either been on my turntable, in my earbuds during walks, or blasting in my car as I run errands. 

These 32 songs represent almost 60 years of great rock and roll, but there are a couple of somewhat new tunes. First off, earlier this week Rhino Records announced an upcoming box set version of my third favorite album of all time, Let It Be. The 3 CD/4 LP box, which comes out on October 24, includes an entire disc of rarities and outtakes and a full show from The Cubby Bear in Chicago. This announcement was accompanied by one of the outtakes - an alternate version of "Androgynous" that kicks off the show.

The other new tunes (at least to me) comes right after that track. A few weeks ago our friends The Ex-Bombers announces a super limited 10 year anniversary reissue of their second album, Five Star Night. So limited, in fact, that they only pressed 20 copies! Of course, I needed one of those, and I digitised my version so that you can hear a couple tunes tonight.

And once again, I'm asking for some advice on a spinoff interview show and/or a Patreon account to help fund The Ledge. What do you think I should name it? Who should I interview? What benefits can I offer to convince you to join my patreon? Please let me know!
