Following the recent inductions of Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we decide to sit down with comedian and Rock Hall expert Joe Kwaczala (Who Cares About the Rock Hall? Podcast, Funny Songs and Sketches album) to see who has been snubbed and what does this  mean for rock and country's tenuous relationship going forward. It's a fun and fascinating listen!

This week we finally discuss Toby Keith, one of the biggest names in 90's and early 2000's country—a politically controversial figure with a surprising collection of friends and hits for days. And the boys are joined by comedian Steven Castillo (SNL) to dig into Keith's hit songs and attempts at comedy—plus we add "As Good As I Once Was" to our Ultimate Country Playlist! (Also...it's our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!)

This week we are thankful for YOU, the Shovelo! Thanks for listening to our weird, niche podcast. We're glad you're here and you keep us going! For this reason, we made you a playlist of killer country songs about family, home, missing home, and gravy. (Follow that link to get it on Spotify!)

It's hard to believe but Danny and Tyler have been doing this ol' thing for almost 2 years and an official 100 episodes (plus Patreon-exclusive bonus episodes!). Today the boys discuss how the podcast has changed their tastes in country, some of their favorite on-air moments, and whether or not "Howdy" is grammatically sound.

Happy Halloween! For this year's Halloween episode, we explore some of our favorite covers of one of the creepiest songs of all time: "In the Pines" aka "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"

"In The Pines" is one of the most-famous, most-covered, and most-open-ended murder ballads of all time. It's been made famous by the likes of Lead Belly and Nirvana, and covered by everyone from Loretta Lynn to Smog to Fantastic Negrito. Check out our "In The Pines" playlist here and let us know your favorite!

This week we are joined by arguably our most important guest yet: our host Danny Maupin's mother! And for the playlist Debbie Maupin brought us a surefooted rocker from country music prodigy Lorrie Morgan. Morgan was country music royalty as well as a country music prodigy, becoming the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry ever, and becoming the first and only woman in country to start her career with three platinum albums. We go through Morgan's hit-filled imperial period, learn how the Maupin family became Lorrie Morgan fans, and more!

It's a tale as old as time (or at least as old as the 1970's): a country artist garners enough crossover appeal that they make the deliberate switch to Pop Music. Some artists return to their roots, some fizzle out, and others become the biggest touring acts on the planet. This week we are joined by comedy producer Danii Gallegos (We Still Like You) to discuss the Marren Morris's controversial statement on why she's leaving country to join forces with Jack Antonoff, plus who else has successfully left country for greener (more lucrative) pastures.

This week we add Patsy Cline protégé and Country Pop innovator Dottie West to our ongoing public playlist. Specifically we add the No. 1 country hit "A Lesson In Leavin'" (though it is certainly more pop than country). We discuss Dottie's pop transformation, the hardships she endured in childhood and in her career, and what she has in common with Journey's Steve Perry.
