Green Eggs and Ham: Story Time

This week's show (co-hosted by the apt Rich Taylor) was all about the narrative. Songs with full stories, brimming with detail. Extended jams with spoken word tales that grab you. And then I took a break from it for a song and played something by Blaque. Here's the playlist:
