Welcome back to When Words Fail Music Speaks, the show that proves that when words fall short, music says it all. In this episode, host James Cox sits down with longtime friend and blue‑grass powerhouse Carolyn Routh for a deep‑dive into the moments that shaped her life and career.From church choirs in Siler City, N.C. to the national blue‑grass stage – Carolyn recounts her first “two‑front‑teeth” talent‑show debut, the high‑school musical years, and the pivotal switch from contemporary Christian music to the blue‑grass world of New Blue.Trials and triumphs – a 2003 stroke that stole her speech and mobility, the grueling rehab that birthed the anthem “Make Me Whole Again,” and the gospel‑driven “Nail‑by‑Nail” that marked her comeback.The art of the song – why a good song matters more than genre, her love for everything from contemporary Christian, bluegrass, and even a reluctant respect for rap, plus the “caramel‑colored” timbre of her voice.Behind the scenes – the family‑run restaurant legacy, the quirky band dynamics (the “quick‑shower” Daniel, banjo‑player Austin, mandolinist Justin), and the creation of Bluegrass Ridge TV, the world's largest blue‑grass TV channel.Favorites & “can't‑tell‑me‑how‑I‑feel” moments – from the haunting “Resurrection Song” to the “Knocking on Heaven's Door” cover that started a fan‑favorite tradition.All this and more—tour dates, a caramel‑sweet dessert, a caramel‑colored voice, and a promise that the road never stops—are waiting for you. Grab your headphones, press play, and let the music do the talking.

Brad Johnson is the Senior Regenerative Agriculture Advisor for The Nature Conservancy, where he helps farmers across Idaho and beyond explore new ways of working the land that build healthier soils, stronger operations, and more resilient communities. Brad's path into this work is deeply personal—he grew up on a multi-generational farm in northern Idaho, where as a teenager he saw firsthand how no-till practices could dramatically reduce erosion on the steep, fertile hills of his family's farm. That early “aha moment” set him on a winding path through farming, ranching, research, and even a stint in agricultural sales, before eventually joining TNC in 2019. In this conversation, Brad and I dig into the practical realities of regenerative agriculture—what it looks like on the ground, why it's both promising and challenging to scale, and how trust and relationships are every bit as important as science and technology. He shares stories from TNC's demonstration farms, where producers are experimenting with new biological practices that reduce reliance on fungicides and pesticides, and from high school programs where the next generation of Idaho farmers are already putting regenerative methods into practice. Brad's perspective is grounded in lived experience and a genuine respect for the farmers he works with. Whether you're deep in the ag world or simply curious about how food systems can adapt to a changing climate, this episode offers a clear, hopeful look at what's possible when conservation and agriculture work hand in hand. --- Brad Johnson Regenerative Farming at TNC Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/brad-johnson/ --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy and TNC chapters throughout the Western United States.

Not everyone instinctively knows when they've reached the point in life where they're ready for kids. For Nick Hexum, the self-proclaimed “dad” of his band 311, that moment came when he realized his wild days were behind him and he was ready to step into family life as a husband and father. Nearly two decades later, he's a proud dad of three daughters, ages 5 to 16. We caught up with him for a rare in-person conversation during a tour stop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Nick opens up about the challenges and rewards of raising kids while touring, the jaw-dropping story of delivering his own daughter during a home birth, how fatherhood reshaped his songwriting, and the powerful influence his own upbringing has had on the way he parents today.Episode 130 of Modern Dadhood finds the guys recording in person, outside, over a frosty fall beverage. The guys chat briefly about finding positivity in a world that can feel particularly dark at present, and why the autumn has a certain exciting energy. They catch up with Nick Hexum, lead singer and songwriter for 311, before a gig promoting his 3 new americana/bluegrass EPs (compiled on a full length album called Phases of Hope and Hollow). Nick candidly shares stories about his family and his career as a touring musician, reflecting on how becoming a dad has impacted his work and put his life into perspective. Topics include:•  Touring as a musician dad: balancing life on the road with being present for important family milestones.•  How becoming a father transformed Nick's creative process, songwriting inspiration, and outlook on life.•  Nick's incredible (and dramatic) story of delivering his daughter at home•  The evolving relationship between Nick's children and music, including their early involvement in creating songs and videos.•  The influence of Nick's own upbringing, especially his positive relationship with his father, on his parenting style.•  Navigating social media, privacy, and the shifting dynamics as his kids grow into their teen years.•  Maintaining a positive worldview amid challenging news cycles, and fostering open, vulnerable communication with his kids.•  And more!LINKSNick Hexum (website)Nick Hexum (Instagram)Nick Hexum (TikTok)311 (official)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

SUMMARY: *The conversation centers around the challenges of parenting, particularly when dealing with prodigal children—those who stray from their upbringing and values. *The speakers discuss the emotional and spiritual battles parents face, emphasizing the importance of spiritual warfare and maintaining a relationship with God. *Personal experiences of feeling unprepared for the struggles of raising children, especially as they grow older and make their own choices. *Debra McNinch shares the battle plan God showed her and reminded parents that the outcome of their children's lives is ultimately in God's hands. *Forgiveness for moms who struggle with guilt was discussed and Debra shares a 3 point process to use. She reminded listeners the need to accept God's forgiveness and to stand firm in faith, even amidst difficulties. *The discussion highlights the significance of identity in Christ and the importance of loving children without compromising biblical truths. *The speakers conclude by promoting a sense of community among parents facing similar challenges and encouraging them to remember that they are not alone in their battles. PODCAST INTRO: My guest, Debra McNinch sits down to have an in-depth conversation about prodigal children and we talked about all the ways this affects a mother's heart. No matter the type of rebellion your child is walking in, addiction, LGBTQ, rebellion of family values, estrangement, cutting off parents has become a huge movement…really any way that we see our children living outside the way they were raised specifically the biblical values that the parent tried to instill. We talked about guilt and how mom's and dad's can find forgiveness vs beating ourselves up over the would'ves, could'ves & should'ves. I'll put (in the show notes) a quick list of the 3 ways to engage forgiveness but don't miss out on the message surrounding it because Debra gives much more info in the episode itself. We looked at shifting the burden that we carry in our heart for our child's salvation and their entry into heaven because ultimately it's not our responsibility, it's God's job and He is trustworthy to watch over His children. God has a purpose and a plan for your child just like He has one for you. I beginning to understand that the key is learning how to get behind God to support what God is doing. But I'll be honest, that is not for the weak hearted because you have to be willing to lay down the illusion we carry with regard to control, we have to address our pride and we have to be willing to cling to God when we see our children struggling through consequences. We acknowledged that this is spiritual warfare and that Satan is trying his best to not only destroy the family unit but to cut off and destroy generations that belong to our children. Debra shares a strategy for our battle stance to be able to affectively engage and strike down the enemy of our soul. We may not be responsible for our children's faith but as Debra says, Love goes to war; so we can certainly stand in the gap and effectively fight the Goliath that is coming after them. Debra's 5 point battle stance that she shares can also be seen in the show notes but again, she shares much more detail in the episode so don't miss that bit of gold. Some of our conversation is based on the belief that if we raise a child in the church and instill biblical values we believe we have a guarantee of their salvation and their pursuit of Christ and heaven's value system etc. but many of us know that it does not guarantee they will always adhere to those instilled values. If I had to boil this conversation down to 2 major takeaways, it would be hard but I think I'd side with Debra's personal battle cry…No one fights alone and also when she said something that I have come to understand more deeply after walking this valley of loosing my husband….”God's promise isn't that you're going to get the perfect outcome. His promise is that He'll never leave you and that He's going to walk with you the whole way.” Knowing you're not alone is a lifeline for the heart. Near the end of our conversation Debra had me super encouraged as she gave the battle cry for all parents to stand up. For us to fight the lies that culture dictates, and to dismantle the belief that we're powerless adding that engaging God's heart in the battle is where our power comes from. If you're a parent of a prodigal, Debra offers guidance and hope. You can receive more in-depth instruction in her book, Battle Cry - Waging the Spiritual Battle for Your Prodigal. And you can find encouragement in her support group, Battlecrymoms.com. Let's listen in to find hope and understanding on how to engage the power of Christ in order to give God the burden and how we are to stand in agreement with Him. Live Loved and Thrive! Sherrie Pilk 3 STEPS TO FIND FORGIVENESS: - Go to the alter ask God for forgiveness - Ask your child forgiveness - Put on the Armor (action) and Stand (in faith) that Christ is going to fight the battle for you. BATTLE STANCE TO STAND IN THE GAP FOR YOUR CHILD: - Pick a verse for your child and pray it over their life every day. - Worship - God inhabits our praise/worship. - Pray - Acknowledge God's full authority over your child. - Speak God's promises over your child. - Connect with a supportive Community.

She loves photography, working on her photo farm, and sharing life with  Steve, her husband of 33 years, two sweet puppies: Poppy the Berne Doodle and Dodger the Miniature Schnauzer. She is also the faithful feeder of Butters, the neighborhood stray cat. Debra's favorite things are Jesus, coffee, cupcakes, and glitter (in that order!). She collects vintage junk, anything sparkly, and more Sharpies than one person needs. She takes pride in learning a new skill each year and gets through life by leaning on God's Word—and a little humor. She especially loves when the two collide. Born and raised in Winfield, Kansas, home to Bluegrass and Burger Station, Debra has moved nine times to six different states. Each move brought her closer to God and connected her with lifelong friends. In Fall 2024, Debra released her first book with CrossRiver Media, sharing her family's story and how it led to a powerful prayer movement for prodigals. She writes and speaks to encourage parents to keep praying and keep believing—because prodigals are coming home.

Cole Quest & The City Pickers are a bluegrass band from Brooklyn, and if that surprises you, well, the fact is New York City has had a long, strong bluegrass scene going back to the 1950's. Cole Quest draws on that tradition, and his own family tradition - he's the grandson of the folk icon Woody Guthrie – in originals and updated versions of Guthrie tunes. Cole Quest & The City Pickers shred with high-spirited energy and that high lonesome sound, in-studio. Set list: 1. Where I'm From 2. Early Morning Dew 3. I Ain't

Legendary Massachusetts-born, California-based musician Peter Rowan is best known for his bluegrass roots. A practicing Buddhist, he did time in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys as well as in the short-lived and epically important Old & In the Way with Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. However, his latest album 'Tales of the Free Mexican Airforce' celebrates the music of the Southwest and draws a throughline from Tex-Mex to bluegrass. Rowan has a long history with this music from his very first solo record, which includes the original recording of "The Free Mexican Airforce" as well as "Midnight-Moonlight." Both of those classic Rowan compositions got re-recorded for the new record and feature the late great Flaco Jiménez (as did the original 1978 recordings), who just passed away in July of 2025.In our Basic Folk conversation, we talk about Flaco's enthusiasm for Peter's music, the many collaborations they recorded. and why he included a recording of Flaco speaking on the album. Peter speaks about how immigrants and musical culture from Latin America are constantly inspiring him and keeping him patriotic. He also spoke about what keeps him aging well, what his energy and enthusiasm look like at 83 years old, and, of course, Bill Monroe's baseball team.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

This week we feature banjo and guitar player Jason Burleson and talk with him about his career in bluegrass, his thirty years with Blue Highway and a new single that he and his wife have recently released that will lead to his first solo album.  You'll also hear that single on the podcast.

I was not on the show, so I have no idea what was talked about. Let's find out together!

I have known songwriter Kristin Hamilton for 8 years now….Beginning with her membership in an amazing Americana band called Under the Big Oak Tree and continuing with her work with her daughter Lucy Gray, members of Cowtown Country Club and now as a solo artist. In addition to the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show, I host, in rotation with others, a live performance radio show on KKFI called MidCoast Live! shining a spotlight on local and touring artists from all genres of music.  I welcomed the opportunity to showcase Kristin as a solo artist on MidCoast Live!Her music is folk country tinged with the sweet flavor ofbluegrass touching on topics of family & faith, grief & gratitude. Hamilton grew up singing at spontaneous musicalget-togethers on her family's farm in northwest Missouri. Extended family would gather under a big oak tree on summer nights to sing and play old country and gospel numbers. Being "the shy one" in the group, she was eventually brave enough to accept an invitation to sing at church that led to an additional invitation to perform accompanied by her father and accomplished guitar player, Rocky Cathcart.  That show was a great success and eventually led to the formation of Under The Big Oak Tree that included some of the best musicians in the area - Simon Fink, Doug Ward, and Jason Riley. Under The Big Oak Tree released three full length albums including the last release "The Ark" that earned repeated spins on local NPR and community radio stations.In 2018 Kristin joined forces with the Lost Cowgirl Revue for a special tour of Germany, The Netherlands and France. The Revue included acclaimed singer songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Julie Bennett Hume, Joy Zimmerman, and Jenna Rae with accompaniment by Chris Hudson, finger styleclassical guitarist all of whom get regular spins on the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show. Enjoy this conversation and special musical performance byKristin Hamilton!

On this week's show, we spend quality time with superlative new records from The Beths and Margo Price, spin fresh tracks from Alabama Shakes, Amanda Shires and David Byrne, and get our first taste of Bruce Springsteen's Electric Nebraska. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is a podcast that thinks it's a radio show...because it used to be one. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004. It phoenixed into a podcast in 2020, thanks to the fine and fabulously furious folks at NRM Streamcast. 

Aaron Neihus, local artist, and co-coordinator of the Red River Roots Folk And Bluegrass Festival recently stopped by to share all the fun details for their first annual festival. Did we mention there will be clogging and hay rides? Check out our chat!

This week we feature multi-instrumentalist and singer Sandy Rothman.  Sandy has a long history in bluegrass music in California, but also performed with Bill Monroe and spent time performing with bands in Ohio.  Back in the mid-1980's Sandy was in a band called the The Bay Ramblers and has just released a two-CD set of the band's music in order to honor the memory of the band's singer and guitar player Alan Senauke who passed away last year.  We will talk with Sandy about the CDs and play a few cuts during the show.  If you are interested in ordering the CD-set, contact Sandy at: rothmansandy@gmail.com

Longtime Louisville radio/TV host John Ramsey popped by WHAS Radio to chop it up with Terry Meiners so they could laugh about their arduous broadcast paths.

In this episode of Kentucky History & Haunts, we head back to August 1925—a month of sensational scandals and small-town crime sprees that made big headlines.First, you'll hear the wild tale of Lucy Wagner McMills, a young woman accused of kidnapping her husband and tricking him into marriage after a whirlwind romance. Newspapers from Kentucky to New York branded her a “Modern Cavewoman,” while her groom swore he'd been too drunk to know he was saying “I do.”Then, we dive into the chaotic, decades-long saga of the Alford family of Winchester, known as “the Bootleg Syndicate” during Prohibition. From barn raids to shootouts, jailbreaks to safe-cracking, the Alfords' rap sheets stretched across generations. George Alford was dubbed the Bootleg King of the Bluegrass, while his children—including Virgil, Tommy, and Woodrow—made headlines for everything from moonshining to armed robbery.This episode has it all: star-crossed lovers, outlaw families, jailbreaks, scandals, and tragedy.

What happens when the raw energy of Black Flag collides with the timeless spirit of Bill Monroe? That's exactly the question Water Tower has been answering since 2005. Founded in Portland and now thriving in Los Angeles, the band has built a reputation for their fearless DIY approach and genre-bending sound that seamlessly blends bluegrass, old-time, and punk rock. In this episode, Kenny Feinstein (lead vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin) and Tommy Drinkard (banjo, vocals) share how their unique musical DNA fuses tradition with rebellion, the impact of their move from Portland to LA, and how the band has evolved through different lineups and stages. They also reflect on their collaborations with icons like Ron Reyes of Black Flag and Nick Hexum of 311, their journey from street performances to viral videos, and what it's like adapting their sound for radically different crowds—from the Vans Warped Tour to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Along the way, they reveal the passion and persistence that continue to drive Water Tower as they carve out their own path in modern music. If you love music that breaks rules while honoring its roots, this conversation is for you.
