Stuck In Thee Garage #460: January 27, 2023

Success in the music business can be hard to achieve. Countless super-talented artists have toiled for decades without scoring a mainstream hit. For many of them, it didn't matter or it was just something they accepted. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs that should have been hits in hour 2. Sometimes all you need to push through to success is a little kick.
