Barney Bones- Westside Story feat. Duckwrth
Every month I listen to the majority of bands/singers/musicians/artists who are playing in Los Angeles and select some for a monthly playlist. It includes a variety of genres and usually newer work by the artist.
The song above is from Barney Bones’ 2023 album, ESCAPISM.
Below is the playlist for July 2023.
