Listen to Jimmy’s NEW R&R Playlist – February 2026!

I’m a little bit overwhelmed this week (all good stuff), so we’ll do the monthly playlist differently for October! Here’s 10 of my favorite songs (not on my radio show or playlist in the past) by my Top 10 current bands! But don’t worry, this playlist is great, although it’s a lot of Southern Rock!
