Raymundo SINGs us a famous song from the 90's...we have to figure out what song it is by the bad singing. Bobby asks a weird question: Is Eddie hot? He recently got a bunch of messages on Instagram about Eddie being really good looking. The news came out over the weekend that Taylor and Travis are getting married at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Bobby and Amy weigh in on if they think it will actually happen or if it’s a decoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Songs abseits der grossen Bühnen – ehrlich, überraschend und voller Geschichten. Nicht jeder starke Country Song landet automatisch ganz oben in den Charts. Manche entstehen fern vom Rampenlicht – leiser, roher und oft ein Stück näher am echten Leben. In dieser Ausgabe entdecken wir genau diese Musik: Versteckte Perlen, unterschätzte Künstlerinnen und Künstler und Geschichten, die sonst selten ihren Weg ins Radio finden.

Our songwriting challenge for 2026 is to write a traditional country song. To help us launch this challenge, we were joined by singer-songwriter and music educator Blair Packham. Thanks Blair! We talked about: Phil has an issue with Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen, and The Famous Blue Raincoat album Why mathematics and literature have more in common than you may think | Ideas | On Demand | CBC Listen Challenging the Tyranny of 440 hz Typical characteristics of a traditional country song: Simple “campfire” chords Stories about the past or regret (unlike pop songs, which are primarily concerned with “now”) Lyrics are the most important thing A story with a specific time and place A strong, central idea There's no guessing as to what the song is “really about” They don't usually have a bridge I Can't Help it if I'm Still in Love With You by Hank Williams – download the lyrics to follow along a verse-refrain structure how country was considered “old-timey” in 1951 when this song came out simple, relatable story and a 3-chord song Mama Tried by Merle Haggard – download the lyrics to follow along Merle Haggard was considered an “outlaw” in the 1960s Nashville establishment How this sounds more modern than Hank Williams A more detailed story in a 4-chord song It's not necessarily autobiographical Stay tuned to the podcast and our dedicated webpage for this challenge to get the date for submitting YOUR traditional country song to the challenge and have it featured on the podcast.… Read the rest

What does Nashville actually listen for when deciding whether a country song gets cut—or passed on? In this TAXI TV live stream, we're joined by Steve Bloch, a veteran Nashville music publisher, song plugger, and A&R professional who's been working in the Music Row community since 1993. Steve has had songs cut by major artists including Faith Hill, Lee Ann Womack, Dierks Bentley, and Cody Johnson, and has pitched material that landed with artists like Kenny Chesney and Tracy Byrd. Today, he continues working closely with top Nashville talent and artists at labels like Black River Entertainment, including Kelsea Ballerini and Chris Young, as well as long-time collaborators tied to Dolly Parton's camp. We're going inside the decision-making process that most songwriters never get to see.

The fastest way to get your feelings wrecked is to dance to a song you never actually listened to. We kick things off by pulling apart “sad country songs that sound happy,” where bright melodies hide breakups, regret, loneliness, and all the little bad decisions that country music turns into a hook you can't stop singing. It's part comedy, part lyric therapy, and it might permanently change how you hear a few classics.Then we rip through the country music news cycle with the kind of stuff fans actually talk about: Kacey Musgraves surprising a room with a “Neon Moon” tribute, Dolly Parton stepping back into the spotlight, cryptic teasers that send the internet into detective mode, and big live moments that prove touring still matters. If you're searching for country music news, Nashville updates, and what's happening right now, this segment is built for you.From there, the crew answers our question of the day on underrated artists, we run the countdown plus a full indie charts roundup, and we bring in recording engineer Keith Sensing for a trivia showdown that gets competitive fast. The mailbag lands the big takeaway: streams and followers can look huge, but filling a room is a different game. We talk practical music industry advice like networking, moving to a music mecca, playing live everywhere, and finding a way to stand out without chasing the same sound.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who overanalyzes lyrics, and leave us a review.

Luke opens up about balancing memes, marriage, music, and his mild caffeine addiction. If you like country music and questionable internet humor, this episode is basically your spirit animal.

This week on Labor History Today, we revisit the 1946 Oakland General Strike through the eyes of labor educator and activist Stan Weir — and uncover the surprising role a chart-topping “country” hit played on the picket line. After we hear the day's events from Labor History in 2:00, host Chris Garlock digs into Weir's vivid account of the strike's carnival-like atmosphere, where bars rolled jukeboxes into the streets and “Pistol Packin' Mama” — the first country song ever to top the Billboard pop chart — echoed off downtown buildings for 54 hours. We trace how an American Federation of Musicians strike helped turn the tune into a national sensation, and why its defiant energy resonated with the mostly women department-store strikers who ignited the Oakland uprising. Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor. #LaborRadioPod #History #WorkingClass #ClassStruggle @GeorgetownKILWP #LaborHistory @ILLaborHistory @AFLCIO @StrikeHistory #LaborHistory @wrkclasshistory

Bobby looks back at his Dancing with the Stars run, how the virality around it seems to flare up every year, and what the show really meant to him then and now. He also talks through a recent Tom Bergeron clip that stirred everything back up, how it made him feel, and why it ultimately led to him mailing the mirrorball trophy back. Then the conversation turns to country music history, as Bobby and Eddie break down a list of famous songs that somehow never hit No. 1 and why those misses still don’t make sense.

In this week's episode of Before You Cut Bangs, Laura and Claire get brutally honest about what happens when life hits you with more plot twists than a sad country music song.Laura opens up about walking through a season where everything changed at once — a move, personal upheaval, emotional whiplash — while Claire deals with her own chaos (think: her hardwood floors literally being ripped out).Together, they unpack the real question:  Why do we show up as totally different versions of ourselves when we're in crisis versus when life is calm?From stress responses to survival mode to the weird ways chaos makes us react, this episode is part therapy, part comedic relief, and part permission slip for anyone who feels like they're “handling it” but also maybe… not handling it.As we move into the holiday season — a time when chaos tends to multiply — Laura and Claire talk about:    •    What actually makes a day feel chaotic    •    Why small things hit so much harder when you're already at capacity    •    How to give yourself grace when you're not the “chill version” of yourself    •    The little anchors that help you come back to center    •    Why going through hard seasons doesn't make you dramatic — it makes you humanIf you're going through a lot right now, this one will make you feel a little less alone and a lot more normal. Grab your headphones, pour something warm, and let's laugh our way through the mess.____________________________________________________________________________________________In this episode we cover:    •    The difference between me in crisis and me when I'm chill    •    Why chaos makes everything feel bigger, heavier, and more dramatic    •    Laura's “my life is a country music song” season    •    Claire's own home-renovation nightmare    •    What actually defines chaos (spoiler: it's rarely the big thing)    •    Why you get snappy, defensive, avoidant, or shut down when you're overwhelmed    •    How fast life can change — and how to stay grounded when it does    •    What to expect as the holidays approach and emotional load increases    •    Small, practical ways to return to yourself in the middle of a storm

Ever wondered why the “darkest” country songs linger long after the last note fades? We crack open that list and find more than shock value—there's craft, confession, and a lineage of storytelling that made the genre brave. From murder ballads to Whiskey Lullaby, we unpack what makes a song haunt you and why those narratives still matter.Then we sprint through the modern pulse: Jelly Roll's global moment and community work, stacked festival lineups, Abbey Road sessions, and the not-so-silent rise of subtitles in streaming. Captions might sound boring, but they're changing how fans absorb lyrics and stories, especially in a word-first genre like country. We also talk about videos that miss the mark and why listeners instantly sense when visuals don't serve the song.The centerpiece is a rowdy, smart bracket to crown the best album of all time. You sent your picks—Rumours, Abbey Road, Pet Sounds, Tapestry, Van Halen I, The Wall, George Strait, Shania, Garth—and we fought it out. Journey's Escape made a bold run, but Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon took the crown for cohesion, sequencing, and sheer sonic gravity. Along the way, we teased apart “favorite” versus “best,” and what a truly great album must do from first second to last.We close with charts and indie highlights, then an ear-opening A/B test: a studio cut vs an AI-recreated version of the same song. The AI track is polished and passable, but side-by-side it lacks depth, stereo motion, cymbal realism, and those tiny human edges at the ends of phrases that make a vocal feel lived. It's not anti-tech—it's pro-feel. And the mailbag nails the theme: country isn't a costume; it's a culture. Americana is carrying a slice of that soul, and live shows still matter because sweat and risk can't be automated.Hit play for sharp opinions, a few laughs, and a lot of heart. If you enjoyed the ride, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your “best album ever” in a review—we'll read the spiciest ones on air.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/
