Hawthorne Radio
Mayer Hawthorne's third instalment in his 'Radio Show' series. It comes as no surprise that this thirty three minute mix broadcasts Hawthorne's love for the Motown era, featuring tracks from Barbara McNair ('Steal Away Tonight') and Barbara Randolph ('You Got Me Hurtin' All Over'). The real nice touch for this radio show comes with the authentic advertising included in this Detroit Package deal, which comes courtesy of the fantastic Stones Throw Record's Podcast Feed.
