Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Stapleton

We love how this song, which Randy Hamilton brought the band nearly a decade ago now, continues to boldly represent a new direction in Appalachian music.Perspective, Then….For decades, bluegrass music played it safe when singing about the American Civil War. It generally stuck to well-worn tales of shared heartbreak, ruined farms and missing home, while conveniently ignoring the brutal realities of slavery. During the cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s, the music even took a more startling detour into full-blown Confederate nostalgia, romanticizing the Old South. But “Can You Run?” is part of what scholar Carter W. Claiborne of North Carolina State University considers a brave new wave of songs that are finally shaking up that sanitized narrative. … NowWritten by Eastern Kentucky's own Chris Stapleton, the song shatters the genre's old boundaries. Instead of being just another wistful ballad about a homesick rebel soldier, “Can You Run” takes listeners down what Claiborne calls an “emancipationist path.” There's smoke down by the river Hear the cannon and the drum I've got one thing to ask you, honey — Can you run?Writing recently in Gettysburg College's Journal of the Civil War Era, Claiborne calls Stapleton's song a cultural reset for the entire genre by shining a spotlight on the lived experiences of enslaved people. You know I hate to ask so late But the moment's finally come And there won't be time to change your mind. Can you run?“Modern bluegrass,” Claiborne writes, “has taken up a more balanced approach to the Civil War, incorporating African American and Unionist perspectives, and finally corrected the reconciliationist view with the emergence of emancipationist music.”For more about the song and about its composer, Chris Stapleton, see our earlier Flood Watch article, by clicking here.More from Randy?And if all this has you in the mood for more music from Randy Hamilton, check out the Randy Channel on the band's free Radio Floodango music streaming service.

In this episode, John is joined by Mumford & Sons and producer Aaron Dessner to discuss how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Prizefighter'. Mumford & Sons are a British folk-rock band made up of Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane, who rose to global fame with their banjo-driven folk rock, earning BRIT and Grammy success with the records ‘Sigh No More' and ‘Babel'. Their latest album, ‘Prizefighter', was co-written and co-produced with Aaron Dessner, and features collaborations with Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Gigi Perez and Chris Stapleton, with the band embracing a new creative freedom in the process. Sitting down with Marcus at his Scarlet Pimpernel studio, John and the band discuss how the album unexpectedly grew out of collaboration, and how the process left them feeling more creatively free than ever. They also dig into why the right mic isn't always the most expensive one, Aaron's techniques for recording guitars, how they created the album's distinctive synth sounds and much more!

We cover a number of topics on this week's Access Louisville podcast.First, we chat about the University of Louisville ending its long-running management of an early childhood center near campus and severing its ties with Family Scholar House due to budget constraints. Louisville Scholar House includes 56 apartments, the Owsley Brown Frazier Academic Services Center and an Early Learning Campus (ELC), which provides care and early learning for children ages six weeks to four years old through the College of Education and Human Development.After that, we talk about the Louisville Kings, a United Football League franchise that will start playing in March at Lynn Family Stadium. Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt tells us about efforts to build local support for the new team — particularly among the business community. We also chat about what we think of the team's newly unveiled jerseys, which feature a forrest green meets lime green aesthetic. Late in the show, we switch gears to go over the recently announced Bourbon & Beyond lineup. The Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and Goose take top billing on opening night, which is Friday, Sept. 24, while Mumford & Sons and Kacey Musgraves headline on Sept. 25. Chris Stapleton, The Red Clay Strays, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit play on Sept. 26. And Dave Matthews Band, Hootie & the Blowfish, Counting Crows round out the main stage Sunday, Sept. 27 The festival, now in its eighth year, is promoted by Los Angeles-based Danny Wimmer Presents, the same company that puts on Louder Than Life.We wrap up this week's podcast with a chat about a new documentary coming to HBO called "Murder in Glitterball City."

Zwei Stunden voller Energie, Rhythmus und Country Power. In dieser Ausgabe: Starke Stimmen, legendäre Klassiker und ganz viel Beat im Blut. Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Elle King & Miranda Lambert – sie alle gehören zum Sound, der Sie mitnimmt auf eine Reise zwischen Highways, Honky Tonks und grossen Feelgood Momenten. Up Tempo pur, druckvoll, lebendig und gemacht zum Mitgrooven. Press Play !

The always enjoyable and in-depth conversation dives into Super Bowl music, Grammy analysis, special anniversaries, and significant passings. In the spotlight Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, The Beatles, Laufey, Jelly Roll, Three Dog Night, Carol KIng, Chris Stapleton, Billy Joel, Three Doors Down, and more. Come along for the ride!

What happens when a night meant for music turns into a tug-of-war for the mic? We unpack the Grammys with a clear eye for craft and a low tolerance for noise. From Hardy's layered storytelling on “MacArthur” to Bruno's masterclass in musicianship, we weigh what actually moved us—and what was engineered only to trend. Then the room shifts: Jelly Roll's acceptance speech lands like a testimony, bold and unapologetic. We ask the hard question—can that kind of moment be a “bit”?—and find the answer in the conviction that carried the words.We dig into country's slate too. Tyler Childers' win, Zach Top's nod to tradition, and Chris Stapleton's steady excellence show how roots can still surprise. Along the way we peel back the industry habit of turning every podium into a soapbox. There's a place for politics and a place for songs; when new artists finally get a sliver of airtime, let them own it. That theme echoes in a fan-story from the road: one loud voice yelling “Play The Truth” between every song can sink an entire section's night. Respect the setlist, respect the room, and the music gets bigger for everyone.We add a few laugh breaks—on mustaches and throwback looks, drive‑thru indecision, texting etiquette, and even an Australia shark‑cage maybe‑yes from the crew—before closing with Super Bowl predictions and halftime curiosity. Through it all, we stay anchored to what lasts: honest writing, tight performances, and the kind of moments that don't need a headline to matter. If you're here for real talk on country music, pop spectacle, and the thin line between art and agenda, you're in the right place. Subscribe, share with a friend, and drop your take on the most powerful—and most head‑scratching—moment of the night.______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

What if a craft could buy back your freedom? Sitting down at the Abilities Expo in Dallas, we meet Jamie Carlson, who turned the hardest parts of living with cerebral palsy into a bold, practical plan. She tells of years of painful surgeries and a tough shift to full-time wheelchair life. The grind was constant, the energy tax relentless. So she looked for a lever she could actually pull.Quilting became that lever. A cousin nudged her to sew, and the hum of a machine became both therapy and momentum. Jamie set up a 10-foot frame, shared her process on TikTok, and invited people across the country to send their quilt tops. Every stitch was a promise: you pay the quilting fee into a Hope Help Live fundraiser, and we get one step closer to a wheelchair-accessible van. Unlike one-off fundraisers, this platform stays open, recognizing that disability costs don't end—they evolve.The result is life-changing: a Chrysler Pacifica she can roll into without breaking down her chair, her body, or her day. We dig into the real barriers—housing that doesn't fit, vehicles that don't welcome, time lost to logistics—and the practical solutions that restore control. Along the way, we talk about the power of music and sports to anchor joy, from Chris Stapleton singalongs to game-day rituals that make hard weeks feel lighter. Jamie's message lands with force: don't give up. Find one small light, keep moving toward it, and let community amplify your effort.If this story moved you, share it with a friend who needs hope, hit follow so you never miss a conversation like this, and leave a review with the skill you'd use to change your world.

(airdate: 1.21.26) We're bouncing from family drama to holiday couch behavior to country soul-searching. First up, things get awkward inside the David Beckham household after son Brooklyn took their private issues public — and Dad responded without actually responding. Then, Christmas 2025 officially broke America, as Nielsen says it was the biggest streaming day ever, powered by football and binge-watching guilt-free. And finally, Chris Stapleton gets candid about possibly stepping away from music if the creative spark doesn't come back. Fame, family, and unplugging — who cares? Apparently, we do.

Chris Stapleton (Traveller, Higher, Starting Over) is a multiple Grammy award winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Chris joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why he looks for silence, his unpreparedness for the academics at Vanderbilt University, and wanting to make a record his father would like after his passing. Chris and Dax talk about the formative folks that gave him a shot as a young, no-name songwriter, following the motto that ‘terms are better than money,' and the potential blindspots that can exist when you're very competent in one thing. Chris explains why there's no such thing as a country music emergency, his preference for something being right over being done, and the safety he feels in the space of a song.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Ian has also collaborated with artists like Maggie Rogers, Joy Oladokun, Chris Stapleton, and Boyncé, bringing his versatile musicianship and deep sense of songcraft to every project he touches. In this conversation, Ian shares his journey from growing up in a musical family to finding his voice as both an artist and a producer. We talk about the evolution of the Nashville music scene, how collaboration shapes every great record, and why fear can actually be one of the most powerful creative tools in the studio. Ian opens up about rediscovering his own songwriting, balancing commercial work with personal expression, and learning to embrace uncertainty as part of the artistic process. Whether you're a songwriter, producer, or studio musician, this episode is packed with insight into what it really means to make music in Nashville today - not just as a profession, but as a lifelong creative pursuit.

A list can be a time machine. We kick off by diving into 35 Southern rock songs that didn't just top bar jukeboxes—they built a genre's backbone. Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, 38 Special, and more set the rules on groove, grit, and guitar heroics, and we ask the hard question: who shaped the sound versus who reflected it back? That sparks a bigger conversation about authenticity and the future of music as an AI-generated act climbs a country chart. Are we celebrating craft or sidelining it? We draw clear lines—AI is a powerful tool for arrangements, virtual players, and sonic polish, but the human heart should stay at the center for lyrics and lead vocals. Think drum machines and MIDI as useful tools, not replacements. Maybe it's time for new categories—Produced With AI or Best AI-Directed Track—so innovation and integrity can coexist.We also run a listener-fueled bracket to crown the best debut album. Expect fireworks as Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Van Halen, Guns N' Roses, Alanis Morissette, and Boston square off. The final verdict celebrates a debut that fused tone, engineering genius, and melody into a once-in-a-generation statement. Between segments, we spotlight CMA milestones, a nostalgic holiday collab with a modern twist, and a fresh wave of tours worth bookmarking.Your mailbag powers the craft deep dive: the loudness war and why streaming normalization brings back dynamics, how modern records get built across big studios and home rigs, and the most common rookie mistake (spoiler: it's not a bad mic). We make space for strong takes, small details, and the stuff that actually helps artists grow. If you care about songs that breathe, vocals that risk something, and communities that talk back, you'll feel right at home.Episode LinksAI Experiment: https://jayfranze.com/experiment/Scotty Simpson: https://jayfranze.com/episode3/Jim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

Hour 3 of The Outdoors Show! Captain Mickey is joined by Cliff Webb from Corpus. National Anthem sung by Chris Stapleton

A live-sung medley that actually left us breathless. That's how Lainey Wilson opened a CMA night that felt tighter, braver, and more fun than it's been in years—and yes, she backed it up with Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year, and Female Vocalist. We talk about why her solo hosting worked, how she commanded the stage with eight outfit changes, and what her wins say about where country music is heading.We dig into performances that sparked debate, especially Chris Stapleton solo versus his duet with Miranda Lambert—great song, flawless execution, but does it fit either brand? The Red Clay Strays brought harmonies that surprised us with an Arctic Monkeys vibe, raising a bigger question about identity: when southern bands don't claim “country,” yet chart on country formats, is that healthy expansion or a nudge to fit the market? Along the way, we celebrate pros who hold the scene together—Paul Franklin's Musician of the Year nod and a heartfelt tribute to Vince Gill's mentorship and humility.Then we zoom out. Are labels signing too many TikTok artists who can't deliver live? How much do charts really matter now—less for artists, more for songwriters? We compare A-players in the studio to road bands on tour, why some artists are skipping the “Nashville session” model, and how remote recording and AI risk eroding that full-room magic where eight players breathe together. You'll also hear a lively news round-up, a chart countdown, candid listener mailbag on genre blending and economics, and a hilarious community game: ruin a band name by changing one letter. Buns And Roses, anyone?Episode LinksAI Experiment: https://jayfranze.com/experiment/Scotty Simpson: https://jayfranze.com/episode3/Jeff King: https://jayfranze.com/episode6/Jim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Dave Jackson: https://jayfranze.com/episode53/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark BadolaSend us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

The CMAs tried to be everything at once: a celebration of country's roots, a launchpad for rising acts, and a glossy TV moment with crossover appeal. We sat down after watching every minute (twice) and cut through the noise with a blunt, song-first breakdown of what actually worked, what didn't, and why the fans' reality isn't showing up on stage.We start with Lainey Wilson's capable hosting and a performance that sparked debate about image and song fit. Then we zero in on the music: Chris Stapleton's band-first power, Zach Top's classic-country momentum, Red Clay Strays' raw charisma, and Stephen Wilson Jr.'s singular style. Kenny Chesney's thoughtful tribute to Brett James reminded us what sincerity looks like on a big stage, while a disco-styled duet left us wondering how a concept can eclipse the song. We also grapple with the Vince Gill tribute choice—how to honor an icon with the right voices and the right feel.The conversation keeps coming back to scale and stakes. If Entertainer of the Year is about ticket sales, streaming impact, and cultural reach, fans know who they're crowning. We talk candidly about the Morgan Wallen-sized gap between stadium reality and awards-night narrative, why certain categories feel hollow, and how the business can champion bands and vocal groups without blurring what those categories mean. Along the way, we call out who likely played live, where production helped or hurt, and which artists have “a thing” that cuts through.If you want a no-spin tour through the night's highs, lows, and head-scratchers—plus a grounded take on where country music is actually headed—this episode is your companion piece to the broadcast. Hit play, then tell us what we got right, where we're nuts, and who your real Entertainer of the Year is.

Jim's band, The Roadrunners, will take the stage playing some favorites as well as some new material from the band's new album Here, There & Everywhere.

We talked about all that and much more! Have a listen!
