¼ª²ÊÍøÍøÕ¾'s Songs We Love Podcast

is a series and a podcast that looks at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery station, .

On this episode we're featuring 'He's A Lone Ranger' by Dom Flemons. It's a song off of his latest record Black Cowboys.

The record redefines the image of the American Cowboy with songs like the one featured here. It's one Dom wrote after hearing the story of Bass Reeves, who was born into slavery in 1838.
