THE TRUTH TRIP - WINTER BLUES SPECIAL

*** FULL DISCLAIMER ***

This MAY be a tough listen for some who are feeling a certain kind of way, in which case they might decide to leave it alone. The intention in putting out this episode is not to bring anyone down. Quite the opposite, in fact. I find great solace in searingly honest music of this nature when I’m having a shitty time, as it reminds me that many of these music-makers must have felt the same way to have been able to create great art like this. This is intended as a cathartic, and ultimately inspiring edition, therefore.
