OJ revisits his chat with Sharon Musgraves and her time with Bass-O-Matic, when their hit Fascinating Rhythm hit the UK charts this week 36 years ago.

Also in this episode, you'll hear a track originally written for Donna Summer, but performed by Lonnie Gordon. A woman who outsold Garth Brooks and Clint Black in 1990 as the best-selling country artist, and a cover of one of OJ's favourite Sister Sledge songs from Maureen Walsh.
