This week the boys are joined by Kenny DeForest (@kennydeforest, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Late Late Show) to talk about the gruff yet poetic songs of Tyler Childers. Specifically, we focus on "All Your'n," one of his catchiest tunes (and with a very psychedelic video). We also talk Childers' incredible ability to capture struggle, debauchery, and love through his poetic lyrics, and how he made a protest album with almost no words sung.

This week Danny and Tyler are joined by comedian Dewey Lovett to discuss the Queen Of Country Pop, and the top-selling female country artist of all time, Shania Twain! It's hard to narrow down which of Shania's many, many bangers to include on the playlist, but we decided to go with her breakthrough crossover hit, "Any Man of Mine." On this episode we cover Shania's true rags to riches story, her music's themes of empowerment and feminism, and how her collaboration with producer and then-husband Mutt Lange changed radio country forever (for better, or for worse?).

This week Danny and Tyler are joined by comedian Zach Peterson to talk about multi-talented, handsome genius Kris Kristofferson. Kristofferson has no shortage of iconic songs (often covered by other artists, such as Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin, and Bob Dylan, to name a few), and we decided to add his clever toe-tapper "Jesus Was a Capricorn (Owed to John Prine)" to our Ultimate Country Playlist. Why this song? Why is it "owed to John Prine?" What other talents does Kristofferson have? Listen to find out!!
