I couldn’t have crafted a more bizarre yet inspiring playlist myself. Psychedelic folk heroes Akron/Family are sharing their extensive music tastes with all of you by offering this jam packed 71-minute long playlist including some folk classics, blues jams, soulful songstresses, and Ice Cube? Hey I never said it was your average playlist! After all, this is Akron/Family we’re talking about. Enjoy!
You can buy Akron/Family’s new album “Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free” on Dead Oceans/Crammed Disc
(for the record: that Harvey Milk song is great!)
