Bob brings his heady mix of 70s tunes to your ears, and he looks back to California in 1975 for a 'Best of the Test' with Jackson Browne.

In December 1975, Bob was in California with Jackson Browne... but the details are hazy, according to Bob! Good job the interview was filmed for 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' - Jackson is the subject of this week's 'Best of the Test', and you can hear a clip of that very interview.
Also on the show, Bob's mix of super 70s sounds with the help of his 'Rock Date Diary and another choice 70's Country Classic.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say “Sounds of the 70s with Bob Harris".
