Taylor Bauer in the GLT studios talking about Dawes.

In this edition of "What's On Your Turntable," Bauer talked about and played songs from Dawes' latest album "We're All Gonna Die." GLT's Jon Norton was on the other end of that conversation, and quizzed Bauer about the band and its connection to the "Laurel Canyon Sound" of bands from the late 1960s.
