SCOTTS HIDDEN TREASURES #69 - Stone and Biscuit

Stone and Biscuit was inspired by the album cover of Foghats second self-titled album. Even though the album is also known as "Rock and Roll", I’ve always thought it was "Stone and Biscuit" because thats what my brother called it.

Either way, were taking another journey into treasures that are roots rock and roll, at least roots rock for me!

So kick back and enjoy
