Chuck and I had so much fun time we did a special episode we decided to make it a thing. The plan is to do ~4 a year around holidays so consider this to be the "Easter" episode. For this episode, Chuck brought on his good buddy Mike Taylor of Hooper to help with the conversation.
This was a unique conversation for me because right up until about an hour before I hit record I was thinking I had absolutely no frame of reference to talk about alt-country or Americana but as the conversation unfolded, I realized I actually liked quite a bit.
These episodes are always fun because for me they're kind of edutainment - I'm learning new and exciting things while talking with some of my favorite people. It's a classic win/win. If you're either like me and you're always curious about scene-adjacent music or if you're already a fan and are looking to hear people riff about the music, check this one out.
It is always a treat to find a reason to get Chuck on the show to talk so we're privileged to get him back on and just talk shop for awhile. We sincerely hope you check out this unique episode.
I asked both Chuck and Mike to pick one song they felt was a good representative of alt-country/Americana and they each came up with:
Old 97's - "Timebomb" off the album Too Far To Care
Lucero - "Little Silver Heart" off their self-titled album Lucero
