After an absolute wild ride with Geri Halliwell last week, Ruby and Britney needed a country reset. Who better to do that with than Emmylou Harris, an artist that's considered to be foundational to the genre? Join us this week as we explore her album Pieces of the Sky and determine if this was enough to get over our experience with Ms. Halliwell.

This week, Ruby and Britney are partying it up like it's 1999 with the one and only Ginger Spice! Join us this week as we listen to Geri Halliwell's debut solo album, Schizophonic. It's a blast from the past and we're here to see if the 90s are still as amazing as we remember.

I'm sure you're thinking, "What do you mean you haven't listened to Licensed to Ill?" We know...we know. But that's what this musical adventure is all about!

Or will we just be left with a better understanding of the genre?

After an unexpected summer break, your girls are back and ready to continue their musical adventure! What better way to come back than with a debut album?

Join us for our return to see if Britney can convince Ruby to listen to their later work after experiencing their debut.

This week, Ruby and Britney are diving into a familiar genre but with an unfamiliar band. The hits of the Counting Crows are known by many, but that doesn't always translate into a fire album.

In a year where we could have explored albums by Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, and some of the other greats, we decided to stay tru to our journey and explore a band completely new to us.
