Austin-based honky-tonker Sunny Sweeney has written more songs than she'll probably ever be able to record, and she didn't even start playing music until after college! Among other things, we get deep into the glitz and glamour of touring in a van (and stopping at many a Starbucks along the way).
On the eve of her debut record release, Jade Jackson runs us through small town California life, growing up without the internet, being discovered by Mike Ness (Social D), and more!
My old friend Joe Sib takes us through the years, from skateboarding to punk rock to owning a record label to becoming a comedian!
Jaime Wyatt's great-grandparents were country musicians in Bakersfield, CA which means that she has a direct bloodline connection to the Bakersfield Sound!! On top of that we had a lovely chat, topped off by her acoustic rendition of "Your Loving Saves Me" from her recent album "Felony Blues."
For a guy that got a late start in music, Sam Outlaw has wasted no time in making his mark in the world of Americana, as evidenced by his fantastic new record, "Tenderheart" and the Hank Williams tune he croons at the end of this interview.
Irish singer/songwriter Imelda May has gone from underage teenager singing in bars around Dublin to international artist making music with T-Bone Burnett and Jeff Beck. Stay tuned to the end for an acoustic rendition of "The Girl I Used To Be."

From the Hot Band to listening to Dylan Thomas recordings with Guy Clark to performing an acoustic version of "East Houston Blues," we cover a lot of ground with singer/songwriter Rodney Crowell.

Marty Stuart drops some serious Country music knowledge on us this week as Chris tries his best to keep up with the chord changes on "Waymore's Blues."
