I don't think music gets much better than this

Listen to last week’s Walter Martin Radio Hour: Pop Radio Part II


Hi - We had incredible weather this past weekend and I went kinda crazy with the old Jamaican records. Lots of gardening, lots of fantastic Jamaican music and the occasional daytime beer.

Anyway, I realized I’m gonna need a long playlist for the summer so I made one. I’ll be adding to this playlist a lot in the next few months but here’s 3hrs of stuff to get us rolling.

This starts in the 50s and goes into the early 70s and represents what I consider to be some of the best music in the world—some familiar faces for sure but likely some unfamiliar ones too. I’ve found a lot of songs from old Jamaican compilations and things like that so hopefully there’s a lot of cool stuff in here many of you don’t know.

And again, I’ll be adding to this for a while so look forward to it getting better and better.
