TCBCast 334: Let's Be Friends (1970) Album Review

As you'll hear in our intro discussion, Justin and Bec have pushed out their TTWII Rehearsals episodes just a bit due to some extenuating circumstances, but still got together for a discussion about the lightweight, wholesome 1970 budget release on the Camden label, "Let's Be Friends," which compiled a mix of late-60s tracks (and one inexplicable 1962 recording).  For Song of the Week, Justin soaks in the "Fountain of Love" from 1962's Pot Luck, and Bec gets funky with the Leiber & Stoller-penned Stax track "If You Don't Come Back." Next week, we'll be uploading a bonus episode for Tuesday while the TCBCast gang will be busy reading and getting together as soon as we can for an in-depth discussion about Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough's "From Here to the Great Unknown" as well as the Oprah special airing October 8.
