POPULARITY
Breland is in the studio with us today! He talks about his new album, Cross Country, and why he won't release a song if the person he wants to be on it, won't do it. We play Blind Karaoke and this time it's Garth Brooks edition! We spin the wheel and see what song it lands on and have to sing it from memory. Plus, Bobby shares an update on why he is definitely superstitious now after he didn't wear his friend's daughter's necklace for half of the Arkansas game this weekend and they were losing, but it all changed once he put it on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Certain Songs slows things down, and it marks the feature debut of Franz Nicolay’s piano playing - a key sonic element in the albums that follow Almost Killed Me. Certain Songs not only foreshadows the Hold Steady's future; it also raises the question: Do the band’s heartfelt ballads bring the momentum to a halt? We talk about how Certain Songs’ “piano man” balladeering fits on the album, whether slow songs are acceptable for hard-rock Hold Steady fans, and what it means that Craig Finn's lyrics spotlight a woman for the first time on the album. We also draw on canonic cultural works like...checks notes...The OC to explain why drawing on Billy Joel, Meatloaf, and the more populist side of rock and roll is effective, at least in this case.
