On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with South Carolina country artist Kile Antone for a conversation about music, songwriting, faith, identity, and finding your way back to something you thought you had left behind.Kile's path to country music has been anything but conventional. He began playing guitar as a teenager, but life eventually took him into law enforcement, ministry, and work as a paramedic. For nearly 30 years, he rarely performed country music in public. Then, a few years ago, he walked into an open mic with his guitar, so nervous he was physically shaking, and sang a few songs. That night started a new chapter.We spend a lot of time talking about how those years away from the stage now inform Kile's songwriting. His song “Drink Some More” grew from a late-night message from someone going through a difficult moment and Kile's own memories of growing up in a home affected by alcoholism and violence. We talk about protecting the people behind a song while still preserving its emotional truth, why a song doesn't have to follow a prescribed structure, and how country music can say an enormous amount with very little.The conversation also moves into more personal territory as Kile talks about separating who he is from the roles he has occupied throughout his life. He shares a powerful story about being asked by a counselor, “Who is Kile Antone?” and realizing that pastor, police officer, and paramedic were answers to what he did—not who he was. That leads us into a discussion about music as a place where he can simply be himself, and about how age and perspective can change the reasons we make music in the first place.We also talk about performing solo versus playing with a band, learning to read a room, his Open Range Band and Stormfront Band, and the new opportunities that have emerged through his friendship and work with country artist Leon Everett. Kile also shares what's ahead, including his first album, original songs, a duet with Leon Everett, and his recording of George Strait's “Christmas Cookies.”Key Takeaways• Kile returned to performing country music after nearly 30 years away from the public stage, beginning with three songs at a local open mic.• His experiences in law enforcement, ministry, and emergency medicine have given him a deep reservoir of real-life stories and emotions to draw from as a songwriter.• “Drink Some More” was written in roughly 30 minutes after Kile received a late-night message from someone dealing with the consequences of alcohol and conflict.• Kile believes in protecting the identities of the people who inspire his songs while remaining faithful to the emotional truth of their stories.• His unconventional journey back to music has become as much about rediscovering his identity as it is about building a career.• Performing has given Kile an outlet separate from the weight and responsibility that have accompanied much of his professional life.• His growing musical career includes solo performances, the Open Range Band, Kile Antone and the Stormfront Band, recordings with Leon Everett, and work toward his first full album.Music from the EpisodeDrink Some More - Kile Antone About the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about the people who make music and the experiences that shape the way they make it.

Wheeler Walker Jr. joins the Whiskey Riff Raff Podcast to talk about stepping away from country music, getting out while the getting's good, and why he's sick of hearing about algorithms and AI.Wheeler opens up about why he wants to open a bar on Broadway just to piss people off, what his version of a Broadway bar would look like, and why he thinks owning his own spot could help “fix” Broadway. He also talks about why he chose the Ryman Auditorium for his final show and why he worries it may be one of the last remnants of Old Nashville.He breaks down his unconventional approach to making music, explaining why every one of his albums has taken just five days to make and why he believes he makes “country music, not laptop music.” He also gets candid about collaborations, including the infamous Maren Morris experience, and why he generally chooses not to collaborate.Wheeler talks about being misunderstood as a comedy artist when he's actually writing tender love songs, why he believes he's simply saying what other people are too afraid to say, and why he thinks it's frustrating that what he does is considered groundbreaking.Plus his advice to get out of the algorithm and go listen to Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, George Jones and other great country music.Listen to the full episode of the Whiskey Riff Raff Podcast with Wheeler Walker Jr.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hannah Dasher doesn't need Nashville's permission to be country. Since taking control of her career in 2021, Hannah has built an audience without radio, stayed loyal to the music she believes in, and made a living without waiting for the industry's gatekeepers to tell her she belongs. Recorded on the day the world lost Dolly Parton, the conversation begins with Dolly's influence and turns into a full debate over country music's real Mount Rushmore. Bocephus, Jamey Johnson, Alan Jackson, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Charlie Daniels, Reba McEntire, Tom Petty, Travis Tritt, and Clint Black all enter the argument. Hannah also talks honestly about the years she spent chasing the next big moment, the victories she forgot to celebrate, and the songs she refuses to let disappear. She explains why awards and industry approval no longer define success for her and how faith helped her stop comparing her road to everybody else's. Chad and Hannah get into songwriting, Jamey Johnson, Brent Cobb, Luke Bryan, Chris Knight, Southern cooking, and the three years it took Hannah to create her cookbook, Stand By Your Pan. Hannah Dasher knows exactly who she is. Country artist. Songwriter. Author. Entertainer. She built her own lane, and she has no intention of slowing down.

Brent Cobb has spent nearly twenty years making a living on the road. The longer he does it, the more clearly he sees what it costs. Brent is back with Chad, talking about the people you bring into your circle, what happens when one person starts dragging down an entire crew, and the strange feeling of watching artists who once came to him for advice go on to play Madison Square Garden. He talks about leaving Nashville and moving his family home to Georgia, the real story that became “30-06,” and why every attempt he has made to write specifically for country radio has fallen flat. Chad and Brent talk about their kids, the moments they miss while working, and the guilt that comes with being gone even when that work is what gives their families a life. There are stories about Jamey Johnson, including the message he sent Brent after hearing Keep 'Em on They Toes, before the conversation turns to Hank Williams Jr., Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Chris Knight, and who truly belongs on country music's Mount Rushmore. Twenty years in, Brent Cobb is still writing it his way.

You know the incredible voice of Paul Carrack. From the Ace hit "How Long", to "Tempted", by Squeeze, to several hits with Mike + The Mechanics and his solo projects. But Paul's love for music goes deeper than pop. He's always had a penchant for traditional country artists, such as George Jones, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, and many others, and through a chance connection with Nashville country artist and producer, Steven Wood, the idea for a pair of country albums was born. On this new episode of Inside MusiCast, we chat with Paul about the creation of the albums, his approach to country music, and the deep respect he has for the country classics he recreated, along with a few original songs. And of course, we won't miss the chance to discuss some of his classic pop projects, too. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Paul Carrack.

In this episode of Check It Out, James sits down with Christian Serpas, frontman of Christian Serpas & Ghost Town, for the first part of a two-part conversation about music, songwriting, and life on stage. Christian talks about growing up surrounded by Elvis, Sinatra, rock, country, punk, and classic New Orleans influences, and how those sounds eventually shaped Ghost Town's "twangified rock 'n' roll" style. He also shares how the band came together, what it was like finding their place in Louisiana's festival scene, and how their music led to nearly 2,000 shows and induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. Along the way, Christian reflects on opening for artists like Dwight Yoakam, Merle Haggard, Blake Shelton, and Montgomery Gentry, the changing music industry, and the moments that remind him why songs still matter. Part two will feature the rest of the interview, plus a live studio performance.

Nashville’s Lower Broadway isn’t a gig, it’s a gauntlet, and Tyson Hanes and Adam Barber of The Tyson Hanes Band are here to show you how it actually works. You’ll hear why nobody’s from Nashville, why being the small fish in a giant pond forces you to level up fast, and what it takes to play four-hour shifts straight through with a thousand-song list, no set list, and no safety net. The crowd builds the show one tip at a time, so you go from Merle Haggard to Metallica in a single breath, learn a requested tune off a fifteen-second Spotify listen, and lean on shared Dropbox charts and big ears to nail the transitions together. And because new people walk in all night long, you’re not impressing an audience once…you’re re-impressing them for four straight hours. That’s what Always Be Performing really looks like. Then there’s the business side, and this is where it gets pointed. Tyson and Adam collaborated to their own QR-code song request system with a developer – two taps from scan to Venmo, straight to the band’s group text – and turned it into SongRequestHero.com for other bands. When JBJ’s management mandated a clunkier third-party app, killed their on-stage banners, and then ignored three weeks of professional questions from forty-five musicians, they walked. You’ll get the full story, plus the bigger lesson underneath it: treat your band like a real business or stay a bar band forever. Answer your email. Send your invoices. Don’t get drunk on stage. Build the infrastructure that lets you sell the Nashville experience to corporate buyers anywhere in the country. And take Adam’s advice: you’ll happily pay for lessons from a better player, so pay for a business coach or a mastermind too.

Một mái tóc bồng bềnh vàng óng ánh như lúa mì trong nắng, làn son môi lúc nào cũng đỏ chói cho nụ cười thêm tươi rói. Vóc dáng của Dolly Parton càng trở nên quen thuộc với công chúng nhờ những bộ trang phục tươi sáng, lấp lánh. Gương mặt khả ái ấy giờ đây không còn nữa. Danh ca Dolly Parton đã qua đời vì bệnh ung thư hôm 25/08/2026 vừa qua tại Nashville, hưởng thọ 80 tuổi.  Được mệnh danh là nữ hoàng dòng nhạc đồng quê, Dolly Parton (1946-2026) sinh trưởng trong một gia đình đông con tại bang Tennessee, Hoa Kỳ. Từ năm lên 10, bà đã di biểu diễn trong các chương trình truyền hình và thường xuyên hát trên đài phát thanh địa phương ở Knoxville, Tennessee. Nhân một buổi biểu diễn, bà đã có cơ hội gặp ca sĩ kiêm tác giả nổi tiếng Johnny Cash. Chính ông là người đã khuyến khích Dolly, lúc bấy giờ mới 13 tuổi, nên đeo đuổi con đường âm nhạc. Năm 21 tuổi, DollyParton thu hút sự chú ý khi phát hành album đầu tay "Hello, I'm Dolly" (1967) do chính bà sáng tác và ghi âm. Đến đầu thập niên 1970, sự nghiệp ca hát của Dolly thực sự cất cánh với nhiều bài hát ăn khách như "Jolene, Here you come again, 9 to 5, Coat of Many Colors" và nhất là  "I will always love you", được viết hầu như cùng lúc với bài "Jolene". Ca khúc nhạc đồng quê kinh điển này được Dolly Parton thu âm lần đầu tiên vào năm 1974. Gần hai thập niên sau đó (1992), Whitney Houston thể hiện lại theo phong cách nhạc pop trữ tình cho bộ phim "The Bodyguard". Nhờ vậy, Dolly Parton trở thành tác giả của một trong những bài hát bán chạy nhất mọi thời đại. Trong vòng 60 năm sự nghiệp, Dolly Parton đã phát hành hơn 60 album phòng thu và sáng tác hơn 3.000 bài hát, trong đó có khoảng một phần ba đã được ghi âm, vì ngoài những bản nhạc ăn khách của mình, Dolly Parton còn sáng tác nhạc cho nhiều nghệ sĩ nổi tiếng khác (Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr, Emmylou Harris hay Skeeter Davis .....) Với thời gian, Dolly Parton trở thành một trong những nghệ sĩ thành công nhất trong lịch sử dòng nhạc country với hơn 100 triệu đĩa hát được bán trên thị trường, 26 đĩa đơn đứng đầu bảng xếp hạng Billboard của Mỹ và 11 giải Grammy, nhưng bà vẫn là một gương mặt hiếm hoi, từ lúc còn sống, đã được đưa vào Đại sảnh Danh vọng Âm nhạc Đồng quê (1999) cũng như Đại sảnh Danh vọng Rock and Roll (2022) cho dù lúc đầu, Dolly Parton đã từ chối đề cử này vì bà nghĩ rằng mình không xứng đáng với một giải thưởng nhạc rock.  Album cuối cùng của Dolly Parton phát hành cuối năm 2023 mang tựa đề "Rockstar" (Ngôi sao nhạc rock) đánh dấu sự hợp tác của bà với những tên tuổi lẫy lừng nhất làng nhạc rock như Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sting, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow hay Miley Cyrus .... Tầm ảnh hưởng của Dolly Parton không chỉ dừng lại ở âm nhạc, vì ngoài ca hát bà còn từng đóng phim, sản xuất show truyền hình. Nhờ tài kinh doanh, bà làm ăn thành đạt trong nhiều lãnh vực khác, nhưng quan trọng hơn nữa, bà là một nghệ sĩ có tam lòng nhân hậu. Dolly Parton thường hay tặng tiền cũng như vận động quyên góp nhằm giúp đỡ các gia đình nghèo ở Mỹ, giúp họ vượt qua khó khăn, hoạn nạn hay bị trắng tay sau những đợt thiên tai, đồng thời bà luôn hỗ trợ giáo dục thông qua chương trình "Imagination Library" tặng sách cho trẻ em trên thế giới. Có lẽ cũng vì thế trong mắt công chúng Mỹ, nữ hoàng dòng nhạc country không chỉ đơn thuần là một biểu tượng của làng giải trí. Dolly Parton còn là môt tâm hồn độc đáo, vĩ đại hơn cả đời thường, nhưng không bao giờ làm cho những người xung quanh mình cảm thấy nhỏ bé, đáng thương. Một con người vui tính, tốt bụng, đa tài mà vẫn khiêm tốn. Dù nay đã ra đi, nhưng Dolly vẫn để lại cho nước Mỹ một nguồn ánh sáng tưởng chừng bé tí, nào ngờ đâu vĩ đại, diệu kỳ.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Chris Malpass of The Malpass Brothers for a conversation about traditional country music, brother harmony, gospel, and the music that Chris and his brother Taylor have carried with them since they were kids.A big part of our conversation centers on their gospel project Satisfied and why making the album felt less like exploring new territory and more like coming home. Chris and Taylor started out singing gospel music when they were young, and many of these songs have been part of their musical vocabulary for years. We talk about working with Ben Isaacs, his role in shaping the project, and why recording it in front of a live audience captured something that would have been difficult to recreate in a studio.Chris also talks about The Malpass Brothers' relationship with Gaither Music and what it means to become part of an organization they grew up watching with their family. We get into the natural connection between traditional country and gospel music, from The Louvin Brothers and Merle Haggard to Buck Owens, Ernest Tubb, and the Happy Goodman Family. For Chris, those traditions aren't separate worlds. They have always informed one another.We also spend time talking about one of my favorite parts of The Malpass Brothers' sound: Chris and Taylor's harmony. Chris explains how naturally their vocal chemistry developed, why The Louvin Brothers became such an important influence, and how being siblings creates a musical connection that can be difficult to manufacture.Along the way, we remember the great Jimmy Capps, talk about the upcoming season of The Malpass Brothers Show, a traditional country Christmas album, another appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, and a busy touring schedule. At the center of it all is a deep respect for the people and music that came before them — and a desire to keep those songs alive without turning them into museum pieces.Key TakeawaysSatisfied represents a return to The Malpass Brothers' musical roots. Chris and Taylor performed gospel music as kids, making the project feel like a homecoming rather than a stylistic departure.Ben Isaacs helped shape the album while allowing Chris and Taylor to remain themselves. His suggestions included “Sheltered in the Arms of God” and Johnny Cash's “Ragged Old Flag,” while encouraging the brothers to interpret the material in their own style.Recording the project live was essential to its character. Chris believes the shared connection between the performers, songs, and audience created an emotional quality that would have been difficult to reproduce in the studio.Country and gospel have always shared musical and emotional territory. Chris sees both traditions as music about real life — hardship, redemption, faith, struggle, and the things people hold onto when life gets difficult.Brother harmony developed naturally for Chris and Taylor. Their musical communication goes back to childhood, when Taylor began singing harmony with Chris without the two of them ever formally planning it.The Louvin Brothers remain a foundational influence. Chris points not only to Charlie and Ira Louvin's harmony, but also their songwriting, gospel recordings, country recordings, and instrumental sound as an enduring model.Respect for musical history remains central to The Malpass Brothers. Whether talking about Jimmy Capps, Leon Rhodes, the Happy Goodman Family, Merle Haggard, or the Grand Ole Opry, Chris still approaches the people and traditions that shaped him with genuine admiration.Songs from the EpisodeSatisfied - The Malpass BrothersAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about the people who make music and the experiences that shape them.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Johnny Owens for a thoughtful conversation about carrying one of country music's most important legacies into a new generation. As the son of Buck Owens, Johnny has embraced the responsibility of preserving the Bakersfield Sound while creating a live show that celebrates not only the music, but also the memories that come with it.We talk about why classic country music continues to resonate with audiences decades after it was first recorded.

Send us Fan MailLong before Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson got credit for starting outlaw country, Johnny Cash was already living it. This episode of Once Around the Country traces how a poor farm boy from Arkansas, born with only initials for a name, became the man behind one of the most legendary live albums ever recorded.The episode covers Johnny's growing outlaw reputation, his arrests, his drug use, and the empathy he developed for the men he met behind bars. That empathy led to a dream he chased for over a decade: recording a live album inside Folsom State Prison. Record executives thought it was a terrible idea. Johnny thought it might save his career.On January 13, 1968, Johnny Cash walked into Folsom State Prison alongside June Carter, the Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins, and his backing band the Tennessee Three. He recorded a concert that revived his career and became one of Rolling Stone's top 500 albums of all time.In This Episode:Why Johnny Cash wasn't actually born "Johnny"The tragedy that shaped his childhoodHow Sun Records changed his careerThe surprising reason he always wore blackJohnny Cash's arrests and drug strugglesWhy Folsom Prison became his greatest performanceHow Merle Haggard's life changed after seeing Johnny performWhy At Folsom Prison still ranks among the greatest live albums ever madeThis episode is sponsored by: Dignity Memorial Reed Animal Hospital Bio:Johnny Cash (born J.R. Cash, February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an iconic American singer, songwriter, and musician. Known as "The Man in Black," he blended country, rockabilly, rock and roll, folk, and gospel.

In this episode of Ask Zac, I'm paying tribute to the late, great Jerry Jones, one of Nashville's most respected guitar repairmen, builders, and innovators.Before becoming known for his incredible line of instruments, Jerry was the guitar guru for many of Nashville's top players, including Chet Atkins, Reggie Young, and Sam Bush. He eventually began building his own instruments, creating unique hybrids and, most famously, a whole range of beautifully made guitars inspired by the classic Danelectro designs.We'll look at Jerry's incredible Bass 6, baritone, 12-string, sitar, double-neck, and other specialty instruments, and the musicians and records that helped make these unusual guitars essential studio tools. I'll also talk about Jerry's work for Merle Haggard, his friendship with Danelectro founder Nat Daniel, the return of the Danelectro name in the 1990s, and the lawsuit that ultimately had a major impact on Jerry's guitar business.And, of course, I'll show you one of my favorite Jerry Jones instruments: Brad Paisley's Bass 6, a guitar Brad bought in the mid-'90s that has appeared on every Brad Paisley record and continues to be an important part of his musical arsenal.Jerry Jones made instruments that were innovative, incredibly useful, and built to survive the road. His guitars became the go-to “niche” instruments for countless players, and his influence can still be heard today.This is a tribute to Jerry Jones, his remarkable instruments, and the lasting mark he left on the world of guitars.www.truetone.comTo Support the Channel:Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZachttps://ask-zac-shop.fourthwall.comTip jar:  https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZac#AskZac #JerryJones #Danelectro #Bass6 #BaritoneGuitar #GuitarHistory #NashvilleGuitars #BradPaisleySupport the show

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with country singer and songwriter Trey Calloway for a conversation about authenticity, tradition, performance, and the responsibility that comes with carrying country music forward.Trey grew up singing in church, where he learned early how music can bring people together. We talk about the influence of his Pentecostal upbringing, watching his father preach, and how those experiences shaped his instincts as an entertainer and his ability to connect with an audience. We also discuss the lessons he learned playing honky-tonks and working his way through the Myrtle Beach music scene.Trey explains why he wants his music to remain unmistakably country while still sounding current. He reflects on the influence of artists including George Jones, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Loretta Lynn, and Merle Haggard, as well as the Southern rock music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Molly Hatchet.We also dig into Trey's approach to songwriting. His songs explore working people, family, heartbreak, faith, redemption, and the lives he observes around him. Trey talks about drawing inspiration from conversation, writing about his father's life as a construction worker, and trying to create songs that hold a mirror up to ordinary experience.Trey also shares the story behind his recording of “Slide,” a song previously recorded by Gary Allan and written by Ross Ellis, Alex Kline, and Michael Whitworth. He explains why the song felt personal enough to become his own, the importance of honoring great outside songs, and why country music still needs strong relationships between singers and professional songwriters.Key TakeawaysTrey believes country music can honor its history while still sounding fresh, modern, and personal.Growing up in a Pentecostal church taught him how to communicate with an audience and make music feel communal.His years in the Myrtle Beach music scene taught him how to lead a band, manage production, run a show, and treat music as a business.Moving to Nashville required Trey to start over, accept a smaller role, and rebuild his career in a more competitive environment.Trey approaches songwriting as a way to observe people and turn conversations, family experiences, and everyday struggles into songs.Many of his working-class songs are inspired by his father, who spent his life in construction and other forms of physical labor.Recording “Slide” reinforced Trey's belief that a singer does not have to write a song to deliver it honestly and make it feel personal.Music from the EpisodeSlide - Trey CallowayAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a music interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams.

Episode Description Welcome back to the Lonely Town Podcast, where Derek and Jimmy explore the music, stories, and world of Brandon Flowers and The Killers. With Brandon's upcoming solo album Thrasher just around the corner, Derek and Jimmy break down the newly released trailer, discuss its striking imagery, and explain why this project already feels different from anything Brandon has released before. From classic cars and dusty highways to small-town diners, county fairs, and the familiar backdrop of Mount Nebo, the trailer paints a picture of the Utah Brandon Flowers remembers growing up. Derek and Jimmy connect the visual callbacks to Pressure Machine, discuss Brandon's relationship with Nephi, and explore why Thrasher feels like an even more personal continuation of that story. The conversation then takes an unexpected but fascinating turn into the world of classic country music. Rather than simply reviewing the trailer, the guys share the artists, albums, and songs they believe helped shape Brandon's musical upbringing—including legends like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Glen Campbell, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and The Highwaymen. If you've never listened to traditional country music, this episode serves as a roadmap for understanding the storytelling, emotion, and authenticity that appear to be at the heart of Thrasher. Along the way, Derek shares stories from growing up in Nephi, working at a local truck stop, discovering country music, traveling throughout the Southwest with his father, and why experiencing different cultures makes both music—and life—more meaningful. Whether you've already embraced Brandon's new direction or you're still unsure what to expect, this episode is designed to prepare you for the journey before Thrasher arrives. Show Notes Featured Topic Brandon Flowers' Thrasher Trailer First reactions to Brandon's official trailer The symbolism behind the classic convertible Returning to Nephi after Pressure Machine Mount Nebo, backroads, diners, and county fairs Why the trailer feels deeply personal Visual callbacks to Pressure Machine The importance of place in Brandon's songwriting Inside Brandon's Musical Influences The guys discuss why understanding classic country music may help fans appreciate Thrasher.

Jesse Montgomery joins Michael Stauch to discuss It Is Not Enough to Survive: The Young Patriots Story (UNC Press, 2026). They examine how young white migrants from Appalachia and the South fought police brutality, racism, economic exploitation, and displacement through community organizing, and even joined forces with Fred Hampton's Black Panther Party and the Young Lords to create the original Rainbow Coalition in the streets of Chicago in the 1960s and ‘70s. Highlights include: How the Young Patriots evolved from street gang to political organizers active in Chicago's “Hillbilly Harlem,” the Uptown neighborhood; A reminder that poor white workers made up the large majority of migrants from the South during the Great Migrations of the 20th century; How the Young Patriots attempted to “re-signify” the Confederate flag, paralleling efforts by “race traitors” like Noel Ignatiev to reframe white workers in a context of interracial class solidarity; How the story of the Young Patriots is also a story of urban renewal, and the fight against it, in Chicago; A discussion of Merle Haggard's “Okie from Muskogee” and the role of country music in the culture wars of the 1960s. Guest: Jesse Montgomery is a visiting assistant professor of English at Berea College who works on American literature after 1945, Appalachian outmigration, and radical culture. Jesse holds a Ph.D. in English from Vanderbilt University. His writing has appeared in n+1, Popula, Full Stop, and the Journal of Popular Music Studies.

The long-awaited memoir from country music legend, Clint Black-a raw, intimate, and unflinching story that traces his rise from struggling songwriter to chart-topping superstar and enduring music legend.Over twenty million records sold. Twenty-two number one career singles. 31 top ten singles. Nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards. Countless CMA and ACM awards. A Grammy Award. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When it comes to modern music, few artists have had a bigger or more lasting impact than Clint Black. Since bursting onto the country music scene in 1989 with Killin' Time-the triple-platinum debut that delivered five consecutive number one singles-Black has built a genre-defining career spanning nearly four decades. Having written the soundtrack of a generation, Clint now puts pen to paper to write, for the first time, the story of the man behind the music.In his long-awaited memoir, Black shares the unfiltered, extraordinary account of his journey from a kid with a dream on the outskirts of Houston to a country music legend. From his near-death experiences as a young boy, to his decision to drop out of high school to pursue music, to countless years struggling as an unknown young artist, playing at any nightclub or hotel bar that would have him, Black's path to success had more twists than the Texas two-step.Once fame hit and the stakes got higher, Black didn't let the pressure of big crowds, big money, or big labels steer him off course. By writing from the heart and sticking to his guns, he built a legacy on his own terms. These values proved to be Black's north star navigating superstardom, including a difficult lawsuit against his ex-manager, Bill Ham; subsequently founding his own record label; recording with heroes such as Jimmy Buffett, Merle Haggard, and Eric Idle; his whirlwind romance and everlasting marriage with actress Lisa Hartman Black; and most recently, a critical issue with a cervical spine injury, which threatened the very thing that made him a star: his voice.With vivid, deeply personal stories-all told with Black's signature charm-he recounts how his steadfast dedication to his beliefs and his passion for music led him to success after success, and through storm after storm. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, Killin' Time is a revelatory and rare glimpse of the iconic life and career of a once in a generation talent.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The Byrds- Sweetheart of The Rodeo (Columbia) Released August 30, 1968 Sweetheart of the Rodeo is one of The Byrds' boldest and most unexpected artistic turns. After helping define folk-rock and experimenting with psychedelia, the band suddenly moved deep into country, gospel, bluegrass, honky-tonk, and cowboy music. Gram Parsons' arrival was crucial, pushing Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman toward a sound rooted in American tradition rather than 1968 studio experimentation. The album did not become a major commercial hit, but its influence became enormous. Songs by Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, the Louvin Brothers, Merle Haggard, Cindy Walker, and Parsons gave the record authenticity and depth. Nashville session players, especially the pedal steel guitarists, gave the music its pure country identity. Tracks like “You Ain't Goin' Nowhere,” “Hickory Wind,” and “You Don't Miss Your Water” show the band performing with sincerity rather than novelty. It remains timeless and helped shape country-rock and Americana. (S5-EP20)

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks,” the podcast that turns melody into medicine.In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with Robert Ross, a Canadian‑Australian singer‑songwriter whose life has been forged by both battlefield and studio. After 11 years of service in the Canadian Army, Robert turned his battlefield stories, camaraderie, and raw emotions into a string of heartfelt country‑rock anthems that have topped indie charts around the world.Together they explore how classic legends like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard shaped Robert's storytelling, why the 90 s country sound still feels like home, and how today's genre‑blurring landscape both challenges and revives traditional country roots. Listeners get an inside look at the inspirations behind three of Robert's standout tracks:“Jack Daniels” – a drunken, 4‑a.m. escapade in Gladstone, Queensland that turned into a tongue‑in‑cheek ode to late‑night misadventures.“For You Girl” – a playful, chase‑the‑love‑song co‑written with Nashville producer Gil Grand, inspired by Robert's “other half,” Sue.“Better With Time” – the title cut of his latest album, a tender tribute to aging gracefully and the beauty that lies beyond today's image‑obsessed culture.Robert also shares how the military taught him confidence and structure, the ache of losing comrades, and the therapeutic power of music when words fall short. He highlights why buying merch—hoodies, hats, water bottles—means more to independent artists than streaming numbers, and he points fans to his socials (Robert Ross Music, @Robert.RossMusic, robertrossmusic.com) for new releases, videos, and the ever‑growing community that fuels his craft.Whether you're a veteran seeking a new purpose, a country purist longing for that classic twang, or anyone wrestling with depression and anxiety, this conversation proves that a well‑written song can lift the spirit, bridge the gap between genres, and remind us all that “when words fail, music speaks.”Stay tuned— you won't want to miss this heartfelt, genre‑spanning deep‑dive into the life, love, and lessons of Robert Ross.Website:https://www.robertrossmusic.com

In this episode, Charles sits down with Victor Gurbo, a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and guitar builder from Brooklyn, New York. Victor's musical journey began early — literally from infancy, when his father discovered that Traveling Wilburys recordings were the only thing that could calm a crying baby Victor. That early imprinting on Dylan's collaborators set the stage for a lifelong obsession with live music, particularly the work of Bob Dylan, whom Victor estimates he has seen between 20 and 30 times. The conversation opens with Victor recounting his very first concert at age nine — an Arlo Guthrie show in Martha's Vineyard — a memory that exists more in fragments than in full, including nodding off during parts of the set, only to snap back awake for "Alice's Restaurant." The episode is rich with vivid concert memories. Victor shares stories of seeing Levon Helm multiple times at the Beacon Theatre and Terminal 5, reflecting on how Helm's deep love for his audience was palpable, especially after his battle with throat cancer. Victor also recounts a bittersweet Conor Oberst show in 2008, where he got to hear a then-unreleased song that would later appear on the next album — the kind of "you were there first" moment that makes live music so irreplaceable. But perhaps the most memorable story is the infamous Jack White show at Radio City Music Hall in 2012. After losing their tickets outside the venue and spending an hour on hold with StubHub, Victor and his friend were gifted front-row seats by a compassionate employee — only to watch White cut the show short, apparently unhappy with the audience's energy. For Victor, a performer himself, the experience was deeply personal and left a lasting impression on how he thinks about the relationship between an artist and their crowd. Victor's life as a performer and craftsman are equally compelling. After ordering a custom guitar from legendary New York luthier Rick Kelly — who famously builds instruments from the reclaimed wood of demolished Manhattan buildings — and waiting four and a half years for it to arrive, Victor taught himself to build guitars in the meantime, eventually winning Best Band in Brooklyn at NPR's Battle of the Boroughs in 2013 with an instrument he made himself. Since then, the band has performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Carnegie Hall, where a mid-show equipment failure became the crowd's favorite moment of the night. Most recently, Victor released Gurbo and Company Live 2025, a live album recorded at NYC's Cafe Wha? featuring eight tracks, including covers of Bob Dylan's arrangement of "Rollin' & Tumblin'" and Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." Victor can be found on all social platforms as Victor V. Gurbo, and his website has upcoming show dates and vinyl copies of his pandemic-era home recording project, Outrun the Invisible Man. BANDS: Amos Lee, Arlo Guthrie, Beach Boys, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, Jack White, Johnny Cash, John Prine, Levon Helm, Mad Meg, Merle Haggard, Neil Young, Phoebe Snow, Scotia Rose, The Cure, The Villalobos Brothers, Traveling Wilburys, U2, Weezer, White Stripes, Willie Nelson.
