On the heels of Lou and Bobby's -song swap-, Adelle quizes the boys about their favorite moments of the tour. Bobby tells us about his mom (also a famous singer), his Greyhound, how to pronounce Tammy Wynette's last name, and the latest on Guided By Voices. As the first RAW Impressions interview utilizing modern remote recording techniques, the episode is loaded with technical difficulties. It never derails this fascinating exchange!
