Podcast appearances and mentions of Willie Nelson

Country singer-songwriter Claudia Hoyser joins Bar Conversations to talk about her new album Before The Dawn, her journey from growing up in New York to building an independent career with more than 120 million views, and how a breakthrough moment with her song No Matter What It Costs changed everything. She shares how her musical family shaped her sound, why moving to Nashville pushed her creatively, and how losing her voice after opening for Keith Urban inspired the deeply personal themes of burnout, healing, and honesty woven throughout the record. Claudia also opens up about co-writing the album with her fiancé Ryan Hurley, whose guitar work helped create the project's intimate sonic identity.Beyond music, Claudia dives into her entrepreneurial side, including how a hidden moka pot game in her viral “Hoyser Country Monday” videos sparked Hoyser Country Coffee, and how her whiskey brand Hoyser Country Drunken Bean partnered with Centerfire Distillery. She reflects on sharing stages with icons like Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, and Willie Nelson, explains her songwriting process, reveals what songs she loves performing most, and previews what fans can expect from her next chapter in 2026.Jonathan's Enjoying: Hoyser Country Drunken Bean

Send a textBack in 2022, I talked with Ben Vaughn, whose music and radio show I've been a fan of for years. Ben has enjoyed a great career as a performer, songwriter, composer for film and TV, and record producer. He's produced records by Ween, Arthur Alexander, and Charlie Feathers, and also collaborated with Alan Vega, Alex Chilton and Los Straitjackets. His songs have also been recorded by artists including Marshall Crenshaw, The Morells, and Deer Tick. Needless to say, Ben Vaughn has encountered some colorful characters in his musical journey. His friend Laura Pochodylo, who works for Sun Records in Nashville, wrote the names of those colorful characters down and placed them in a hat. Names like Jonathan Richman, Arthur Alexander, Willie Nelson, Nancy Sinatra and more. So, what do they do with those names? Laura selects a few at random and Ben relives the stories—no pre-planning, no filter —just telling it like it was, straight from the hat. The new podcast is called, of course, Straight from the Hat and on today's episode of Frets, I happily welcome…the return of Ben Vaughn.Songs featured in this episode:“Quote Unquote” by Ben Vaughn“Asking for a Friend” by Ben Vaughn“My Reservation's Been Confirmed” – a Herman's Hermits song (one of my favorites) covered by Ben and written by Charles Silverman, Derek Leckenby and Keith HopwoodListen to Straight From the Hat here.Find music by Ben Vaughn here.Save on Certified Pre-Owned ElectronicsPlug has great prices on refurbished electronics.

L'un chante, l'autre pas. Mais les 2 musiciens jouent de la guitare. Jesse Harris et Quentin Dujardin se succèdent dans la #SessionLive.  Notre premier invité est le songwriter américain Jesse Harris pour le nouvel album If You Believed in Me Bright Eyes, Lana Del Rey ou encore John Zorn, Jesse Harris est l'un des songwriters les plus respectés de sa génération. Après plus de vingt albums, il ouvre aujourd'hui un nouveau chapitre avec If You Believed In Me, son tout premier album enregistré avec un orchestre symphonique, sous la houlette de l'arrangeur et chef d'orchestre brésilien Maycon Ananias. La trajectoire de Jesse Harris est tissée d'aventures musicales hors du commun.

She Caught The Katy – The Blues Brothers Lookin’ Out My Back Door – Creedence Clearwater Revival Honkytonk Man – Marty Robbins Heartland – George Strait How Do You Feel About Foolin’ Around (with Willie Nelson) – Kris Kristofferson I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow – The Soggy Bottom Boys Coal Miner’s Daughter – Sissy Spacek I Don’t Know – Jeff Bridges Folsom Prison Blues – Joaquin Phoenix I’m Easy – Keith Carradine You Never Can Tell – Chuck Berry  

In today's uplifting episode, host James Cox sits down with the wonderfully eclectic Kristen Massey—singer, guitarist, keyboardist, voice‑over artist, producer, comedy writer, and author of the newly released The Joat (Jill of All Trades).From the moment they meet, it's clear that music is the trunk of Kristen's tree—everything else branches off it.Together they explore:The healing power of music for depression and why a simple melody can change a heartbeat.Kristen's musical journey—growing up with a piano, crafting Beatles‑ and Joni‑inspired songs, front‑lining bands, and finally finding her voice after two record‑deal setbacks.Red Siren's story, including the costly name‑conflict that turned “Siren” into “Red Siren,” and the triumph of releasing their Led Siren tribute to Led Zeppelin.The Joat—a fresh paperback/Kindle release that urges everyone to become a “Jill (or Jack) of All Trades” and step out of comfort zones.Behind‑the‑scenes of audiobook creation, the challenges of recording an emotionally resonant narration, and the future audio‑book release.Thoughts on AI in music, Bandcamp's ban, and why Kristen decides song‑by‑song whether a track feels authentic.A rapid‑fire lightning round that reveals her first‑thought favorites, the posters that hung on her teenage wall, her “Mount Rushmore” of musical icons (The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, and Jim Morrison), and the classical pieces that still stir her soul—Mozart's Sonata No. 23 and Haydn's C‑concerto.Kristen also shares heartfelt anecdotes—from playing a flute that makes jungle leaves stand at attention, to hitching a ride on Willie Nelson's tour bus—showcasing how music binds us to nature, animals, and each other.Stay tuned for a candid conversation that blends humor, nostalgia, and raw honesty—plus a glimpse into Kristen's upcoming original EP. Whether you're battling the blues or just love a good musical story, this episode proves once again that when words stumble, music speaks.

In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter CJ Hooper to talk about building songs—and confidence—as an independent artist without rushing the process. We dig into how moving from Texas to Washington shaped his musical perspective, and why honest, story-driven country music seems to resonate no matter where you live.CJ and I talk about releasing Over Yonder, his second album just a year after his debut, and the surprisingly self-confronting experience of hearing your own voice back in the studio. We also get into early cassette-tape influences, playing in a band with musicians decades older than him, cutting his teeth at open mics, and slowly figuring out how his original songs want to live in the world. It's a conversation about patience, craft, and letting the work grow naturally—one song at a time.Music from the Episode:Burn it Down (CJ Hooper)Lookie Over Yonder (CJ Hooper)Rain Song (CJ Hooper)Thank you for listening. If you have questions, feedback, or ideas for the show, please email me at brad@thebandwichtapes.com.The theme song, "Playcation", was written by Mark Mundy.

Dazu Highlights der Grammy-Verleihung und zwei Country-Festivals wo ihr genau diesen Sound hautnah erleben könnt. Zwei Stunden Country – Musik pur.

Countrymusik i 1970'erne var præget af både fornyelse og respekt for traditionen. Årtiet markerede et vigtigt vendepunkt, hvor genren splittede sig i flere retninger, og samtidig nåede et bredere publikum end nogensinde før. Country blev ikke længere kun forbundet med landlige miljøer og konservative værdier, men også med personlig frihed, oprør og kunstnerisk selvstændighed. En af de mest markante bevægelser i 70'erne var Outlaw Country, anført af kunstnere som Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings og Kris Kristofferson. Lyt med til: Waylon Jennings, Linda Ronstadt, Tanya Tucker, Bellamy Brothers, Eddie Rabbitt og mange flere.

TrulySignificant.com honors Texas legendary musician and author Bob Livingston. Bob Livingston's true significance isn't just that he's an Austin “legendary guitarist.” It's that he quietly helped define the soul of Texas music while never chasing the spotlight—and then spent decades using music as a bridge between cultures. Here's why Bob Livingston truly matters: A Founding Voice of the Austin Sound Bob Livingston was part of the original Austin progressive country / cosmic cowboy movement in the late '60s and '70s—before Austin was branded as the Live Music Capital of the World.He co-founded Lost Gonzo Band, which became the house band at the Armadillo World Headquarters, ground zero for Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, and the outlaw-country revolution.Livingston wasn't a sideman chasing trends; he was helping invent the sound that blurred folk, country, rock, and storytelling.If Willie Nelson opened the door, Livingston helped build the room. ✍️ A Songwriter's Songwriter Bob's songwriting is deceptively simple—honest, literate, and emotionally precise.His songs have been recorded by artists like Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary P. Nunn.He writes with a novelist's eye: place, character, regret, hope—all without flash.In Austin terms: Bob Livingston is the guy musicians listen to after the gig.  A Cultural Bridge, not just a Musician. What elevates Livingston beyond “local legend” is what he did after Austin fame was available to him.He became deeply connected to Mexico and Latin American music, blending Texan folk with regional Mexican styles.Bob Livingston used music as soft power—a way to humanize people across borders through shared stories and rhythms. Integrity Over Industry Livingston consistently chose:Artistic authenticity over commercial packagingCommunity over celebrityLong-term influence over short-term applauseThat choice is why he's revered rather than merely remembered. In a town known for ego and excess, Bob Livingston became a symbol of quiet excellence. The True Significance (If You Strip It All Down) Bob Livingston represents something increasingly rare: A life where talent, humility, curiosity, and service stayed aligned. He helped shape Austin's musical identity, then spent the rest of his career proving that music is not about fame—it's about connection, belonging, and shared humanity. Remember this from Dare of an Angel- We did it simply to do it. We did it to be tender, yet tough, We did it for the beauty of music. Isn't that explanation enough.Visit www.BobLivingstonMusic.com to buy Gypsi Alibi- A Gonzo Memoir and all of Bob's music.  WEBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Live Nation's Jimmy Koplik joined Chaz and AJ this morning to talk about his progress on a personal goal to bring Metallica back to Connecticut. Plus, his thoughts on a return for Ozzfest in 2027, updates on concert plans for Greta Van Fleet, and some backstage stories with Willie Nelson. 

In honor of this event's 40th anniversary this week, we look at a special episode of World Championship Wrestling on Superstation WTBS at The Omni in Atlanta. We have a loaded show with four competitive matches, including the Rock 'n' Roll Express facing the Midnight Express for the NWA World Tag Team titles and Ric Flair putting the NWA World Title on the line against Ronnie Garvin. Also, we get a cameo from Willie Nelson sitting with Dusty Rhodes and Tony Schiavone at a pool, and an appearance from Gaylord Perry for some reason?

We have the craziness of a cop named “Merica” hitching a ride to arrest someone and an arrested man who claims to smoke more weed than Willie Nelson to kick off the show today. We discuss the grown man doing an “isolation year”, celebrate the Muppets, and learn why men are keeping notes. We have a bday game, say our official goodbyes to juice, and have an Ill-Advised News with a very public threesome and robbing Taco Bell on meth.

We're back for 2026

Les, Kurt, and Jason are back after a few weeks off for only their second episode of 2026! But hey, there's a lot going on including Kurt getting snowed in on the east coast while Les and Jason enjoy summer temps on the west coast. Next, the guys mourn the loss of the incredible Catherine O'Hara (and Uncle Floyd) and Kurt has some Blac Chyna news aka Tokyo Toni news and let's just say… Toni's beefing with someone again. Then the guys are ready to watch a movie that they thought might have a little bit more screen time for Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams, Lifetime's “inspired by true events” movie Nobody Dumps My Daughter. Les is certain that if crossed paths with the mother in this movie (Ana Ortiz from Ugly Betty), that they would have FOUGHT. But really the only person anyone tries to fight in this movie is Sheila E's fortune teller Anna because everybody seems to be very unhappy with their readings. But in a world where a fortune teller operating out of the back of a hair salon seemingly works on Net 60 payment terms, it still comes as a shock that this movie references the very real early 90's movie “Another Pair of Aces” starring Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson and directed by Bill Bixby aka The Incredible Hulk.      Bluesky: lifetimeofhallmark Facebook : lifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Threads: lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast TikTok: lifetimeofhallmarkpod Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com  

One of the many things that Willie Nelson and his trusty Martin nylon-string, Trigger, have in common is their truly unmistakable voices. And Willie's laid back, behind-the-beat phrasing applies to both. To break it all down, we called on Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. The two have been friends for a long time, and in 2009 they released the swinging Willie and the Wheel together. Benson tells us about what it's like to work with Willie, what it's like to play Trigger, and when he finally got to put his signature on the latter.

Happy Gopher Day! Join James and Connor (aka the Country Road Kid) as we rank and review Highwayman, the debut studio album by country supergroup The Highwaymen! In an attempt to stay relevant in an ever-changing country music landscape, four legends came together to create something different: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. After collaborating and admiring each other's work for decades, the Mount Rushmore of rugged outlaw country took to the studio, armed with ten hits like Against The Wind, Deportee, and Cash's own Big River. Would this Hail Mary effort jumpstart their iconic careers?We'll talk about the four episodes that led us here -- one about each individual Highwayman-- and learn about the holiday specials and films that brought them all together in the first place. We'll explore their group dynamics and talk about the ways music had changed around them between their debuts and 1985. All the while we'll reminisce about panning for gold in the sandbox, hearing these songs as kids, and more. The Mixtaper has facts (or spins) about hotel horses, midwife pranks, and a suspiciously Bill-Murray-adjacent Midnight Breakfast fact. Turn those suits inside out and get ready to ride with some of the genre's greatest.What do you think about the Highwaymen supergroup? Is this album over- or under-ambitious, and is it the best of their three records to cover in an episode? How do you think the Groundhog Day time loop mechanics work? Let us know in the comments or on socials, and be sure to follow for our Grammy Special coverage next week!Keep Spinning at www.SpinItPod.com!Thanks for listening!0:00 Intro2:05 Relevant Past Episodes5:20 About The Highwaymen9:10 About Highwayman17:48 Awards & Accolades18:41 Fact Or Spin21:39 Waylon And Willie Rode Horses In A Hotel24:36 Waylon And Cash Used Dynamite As Entertainment26:58 Willie Tricked Kris Into Thinking He Was Delivering A Baby30:52 Waylon and Cash Loved To Make Midnight Breakfast37:17 Album Art38:02 Highwayman41:19 The Last Cowboy Song42:23 Jim, I Wore A Tie Today44:36 Big River46:55 Committed To Parkview48:08 Desperados Waiting For A Train49:20 Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos)51:30 Welfare Line52:20 Against The Wind54:55 The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over56:58 Final Spin Hosted on Acast.

"Turn out the lights, the party's over,They say that all good things must end,Call it a night, the party's over,And tomorrow starts the same old thing again."Former Dallas QB and broadcaster Don Meredith made this Willie Nelson song famous as he used to sing this on the broadcast once a team had an insurmountable lead or the game was well in hand.  Unfortunately, it's a tune that Pittsburgh Steelers fans seem all too familiar with as team suffered another embarrassing loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round.  Then less than 24 hours later, Mike Tomlin stepped down as the Steelers head coach and sent Steeler Nation into a frenzy of who would be the next head coach of this storied franchise. Fast forward to today, multiple sources have confirmed that former head coach Mike McCarthy would be new head man of the Steelers.  Join your hosts Jeremy Kohlman, Wil Masisak, and Korey Karbowsky as they discuss what hiring McCarthy means for the franchise and its future as next era of Pittsburgh Steelers football begins.

After her 2024 project Hungover (and deluxe Still Hungover) and the 2× Platinum CMA multi-award-winning duet “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green, Langley solidifies her solo rise with this co-write featuring Miranda Lambert (on co-writing, background vocals, and co-production with Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor).“Choosin' Texas” delivers upbeat Southern grit, heartfelt themes of lost love to a “Texas woman,” and confident storytelling inspired by Lambert's personal tales. Debuted live in February 2025 and performed at the 2025 CMA Awards, the track exploded organically through touring, fan engagement, TikTok/Shazam traction, and radio momentum—no major media syncs required.Chart dominance as of January 2026 includes: #1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs (first career No. 1), fastest solo female climb to Top 10 Country Airplay this decade (8 weeks, breaking records), #1 on UK Country Airplay for multiple weeks, #1 on Apple Music Country, and #1 Best Country Song of 2025 on Spotify/Billboard.

Over 70+ million Spotify streams fuel its crossover success in a male-dominated format.Analytic Dreamz examines the song's record-breaking radio impact, international reach, Miranda Lambert's public praise, viral speculation (denied by Langley), and how it positions her as a culturally resonant, commercially powerhouse new country star entering 2026 with CRS New Faces spotlight and more momentum ahead.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff, data-driven deep dive into one of 2025-2026's defining country anthems.

660. Today we're joined by writer and cultural historian Brian Fairbanks, author of “Wizards: David Duke, America's Wildest Election, and the Rise of the Far Right.” In this book, Fairbanks delivers a vivid account of David Duke's 1991 run for governor of Louisiana — a campaign that shocked the country and revealed how extremist politics could slip into the mainstream. Through sharp reporting and a storyteller's eye, he reconstructs the chaos, the media frenzy, and the deeper social tensions that made that election a turning point in modern American politics. Fairbanks brings that same clarity to a very different American saga in “Willie, Waylon, and the Boys: How Nashville Outsiders Changed Country Music.” Here he traces the rise of the outlaw movement, showing how Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and their circle pushed back against Nashville's rigid studio system and reshaped the sound and soul of country music. He explores the rebellion, the artistry, and the cultural moment that allowed these musicians to redefine authenticity and leave a lasting imprint on American music. Beyond these two major works, Brian Fairbanks has built a reputation as a writer who connects individual stories to the larger forces shaping American life.

Heloise Hulse Cruzat wrote an article on the history of the Ursuline Nuns in New Orleans.      You have been told in eloquent periods of the founding of New Orleans, of its subsequent development, and I am to be the humble interpreter of another intimate chapter of its history: THE SHARE WOMEN TOOK IN ITS ESTABLISHMENT.      Can we mention the French colonial days without recalling the URSULINES, who by their unfaltering courage and their steady and efficient work, incorporated their history into that of our fair city.      Bienville realized that New Orleans would never attain his dream of greatness without education, and especially such an education of the female youth as would give worthy wives and mothers to the colonists. With this end in view, he intrusted to the Jesuit, Father de Beaubois, the care of choosing these educators. How successfully this mission was accomplished by his selection of the Ursulines of Rouen, the two past centuries have demonstrated.       A contract was signed by the Company of the Indies and the Ursulines, approved by brevet signed by Louis XV, and on February 22nd, 1727, Mother St. Augustin, Tranchepain, with eight professed nuns, a novice and two postulants sailed on the Gironde from L'Orient.

Andrew Jackson arrived on board the steamer “Vicksburg” on January 8, 1840 at ten o'clock in the morning, landing at the Carrollton wharf, where an immense throng had assembled to welcome “the most distinguished citizen of the country.”  The specific reason for his presence was that a cornerstone was to be laid, commemorating his victories in the Battle of New Orleans, a quarter of a century before. General Jackson laid the cornerstone in the Place d'Armes, on January 9, 1840. It was not until some years later that the monument decided upon was the one of Jackson, designed by Clark Mills, which stands in the center of the ancient parade grounds for the troops. This statue has been called the “center piece of one of the finest architectural sittings in the world.” (NOPL) This week in Louisiana. January 10, 2026.

Farmers across America are beginning to worry that 2026 is bringing a Farm Crisis comparable to the early 1980’s when Willie Nelson launched Farm Aid to draw attention and support to the plight of farmers.  Ray Yeung has been farming for over 40 years in northern California and although recently experiencing really good yields, he sees farming costs exceeding returns and that is simply unsustainable. A farm crisis could  be felt beyond the farms to farm suppliers and consumers.  Viable farms are ncessary, so what is to be done? Yeung always knew he'd be a farmer. His father, Joe Yeung, started farming near Woodland CA after returning rom the Korean War in the 1950s. Ray worked on his dad's farm for decades before branching out on his own to grow processing tomatoes, pumpkins,  winter squash and other commodities. Yeung sold his heirloom tomatoes at farmers' markets, and by the early 2000s, the heirloom craze was in full swing. Today, he grows about 20 varieties, including pineapple, pink brandywine, green zebra, and Cherokee purple. (Processing tomatoes are profitable today.)

1985 takes us to a quartet of legendary "outlaws". Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash called themselves the Highwaymen, and it wasn't just about the song. A lot combines sonically on "Highwayman" to establish its sublime, ethereal vibe, but how do fantasy and reality combine to suggest that something more self-consciously attached to the history of country music is going on in this instant classic?

A viral “Top 26 Songs of 2025” list is only the start—we put every pick under the microscope to see what truly earns replay value. From Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs to Morgan Wallen's double presence and Laney Wilson's anchor tracks, we dig into the hooks, arrangements, and performances that separate a fleeting hit from a keeper. Expect honest takes, a few friendly disagreements, and a closer look at the production moves—floor tom hits, 70s textures, harmony blends—that make a chorus land.The conversation widens as we ask what makes album art timeless. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon becomes a benchmark for clarity and concept, while modern country sleeves split between glossy trends and striking, cinematic restraint. We swap community favorites—Genesis, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, King Crimson—and talk recognizability, narrative, and how a cover can hint at sound before the first note plays.

Willie Nelson is tired of the internet trying to kill him off . . . and he finally said so in the most Willie way possible. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2025/12/01/willie-nelson-sounds-off-on-the-endless-amount-of-ai-slop-about-him-if-you-believe-those-death-stories-one-more-time/ Think you can dodge Wham! this holiday season? Think again. Whamageddon is the ultimate holiday survival game. The challenge? Make it till Christmas Eve without hearing Wham!'s “Last Christmas.” Sounds easy, right? Nope. This song is everywhere, from here on the radio to shops to the dentist's office. The rules are simple: if you hear the original 1984 version of the song, you're out and have to post your fail to #Whamageddon. But covers and remixes? Totally safe. The song is hard to escape … So, be careful out there. And good luck! https://www.aol.com/articles/think-beat-whamageddon-dodge-one-205519330.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWNzLnRlYW1zLmNkbi5vZmZpY2UubmV0Lw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAE4LKFNU0obfYftLM3HS0I3IXT_4AMPdBHCN-dMHo1M-dws6Qq0VHTcF4fc2qyJdxXb02DCE_XrcWpU8FOGBgHrgBwDq-gfmY3loC0GtJOf9JCAIbMJrXuLpwLMz2lUYMDjtFC5REf3ACTxe5qsAYFGl2jfiv__btgFG-1mFXoNi TVThe Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting: The famous tree will be lit tonight during Christmas in Rockefeller Center, a two-hour special airing live from New York City on NBC and simulcast on Peacock.
