Texas Americana singer-songwriter Libby Koch (pronounced "coke") is a “country meets soulful” (Free Press Houston), “feisty Texas songbird” (Country Music People) who “sings her story with a little twang, some slide guitar, and a lot of heart” (Texas Monthly). Libby is working on the follow up album to her critically acclaimed 2016 LP Just Move On (Berkalin Records). Working in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Bil VornDick, she draws on legends from Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn to Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, among others, to craft “true cryin’ and leavin’ country songs.” Combining her country soul with a seventh-generation Texas troubadour’s storytelling skill, Koch fills her songs with intimacy and honesty. Like the most timeless country classics, they’re the kind that make you feel good about feelin’ bad.

This one was a minor success. My guests for this week's ep are Cardi B-loving journalist/Free Press Houston founder Alex Wukman and his lovely, Smartfood-eating wife, geophysicist Sarah Cooke. I basically interrogated them about their marriage, what they find attractive in each other, the state of journalism and why music videos are a dying artform. At the top of the show, I rant about the Rockets, Roseanne, Drake & Pusha T and that Russian journalist coming back from the dead. I also tell a random story about the time I caught my cousin getting freaky-sneaky in my grandmother's car. As for the music, I play tunes from Pusha T, BJ the Chicago Kid and Ned Doheny. The Sour Hour airs Wednesday nights, 9/8c, on KPFT HD2. You can listen live at http://kpft.org/listen.

Today, I head back to Houston (via Skype) and talk to one of my former music-journalism colleagues over there, Kwame Anderson. A former rapper-turned-schoolteacher, we discuss how he still dabbles in music writing for Free Press Houston, which of course slides into what he's hating the most about music today. We also discuss his days dropping rhymes in groups Seeds of Soul and Freedom Sold. He also reminds me that he and I went to college together. (Didn't have the heart to tell him that I forgot all about that.) Kwame also comes up with the term "snowconing them hoes." If that doesn't end up in a rap song, then I have not done my job as a podcaster.
