Favoriting Sinner's Crossroads with Kevin Nutt: Playlist from April 8, 2021 Favoriting

Kevin Nutt's avatar View Kevin Nutt's profile Favoriting

Scratchy vanity 45s, pilfered field recordings, muddy off-the-radio sounds, homemade congregational tapes and vintage commercial gospel throw-downs; a little preachin', a little salvation, a little audio tomfoolery.
