In Conversation: Skylar Gudasz
Skylar Gudasz continues her signature style of storytelling through song on her latest album, 'Country'. While songs like "Truck" and "Mothers Daughter" maintain a familiar feel for fans of her previous work, tracks like "Fire Country" and "Atoll" showcase Gudasz (once dubbed "the Joni Mitchell the South never had") delving into our relationship with the world around us and how we shape it.

Episode 232: Skylar Gudasz
Singer/songwriter Skylar Gudasz's debut LP, Oleander, is a sublime exploration of modern romance that wears its influences on its sleeve and is bursting at the seams with humor, heart, and class. It's also one of the best albums of 2016.
When she's not busy making great albums, Gudasz can be found palling around on stage with members of Big Star, Wilco, R.E.M., and more.
She's KINDA a big deal.
Lucky for you, Skylar had time to hang out with us in the basement to talk about her unique approach to songwriting, the making of Oleander, performing with music legends and much more.
Guys...we're gonna need you to get hip to this, OK?
Episode 225: Hiss Golden Messenger - Heart Like A Levee
In the 21st century one of the greatest scourges on the music industry is piracy. Time was though that Seymour Butts could get twelve albums for one shiny penny.
M.C. Taylor's Hiss Golden Messenger is back with his follow up to 2014's critically lauded, Lateness Of Dancers. On Heart Like A Levee, the North Carolina singer/songwriters second album for Merge Records, Taylor is going deeper into questions of faith and explorations of country soul, and we're tagging along for the most excellent ride.
Because everything is better when it's country AF, we're taking a look at a new track from Atlanta, GA's Chris Stalcup and The Grange off of their latest album Downhearted Fools. Country. A.F.
