Hold My Hand – Hat Fitz and Cara Robinson
You all know of my early musical tastes from my bio, if not – I finally came out of the closet with my hardcore peers. My new found obsession of country, roots and anything with a bit of meat on the bone, there was no turning back. Just like this week’s artist, I was hooked…
