Want more Take This Pod and Shove It? Consider supporting us on Patreon HERE! (Patreon.com/takethispod)

2024 has arguably been one of the best years for new country music in quite a while. With acclaimed releases from favorites like Kacey Musgraves and Sturgill Simpson (er...I mean, Johnny Blue Skies), innovative LPs from rising stars like Willi Carlisle and Sierra Ferrell, country debuts from megastars Beyoncé and Post Malone, and killer releases from country's most prolific songwriters Zach Bryan and Charley Crockett, there's a lot for country fans to be excited about. There's also arguably too much to keep track of.

This week we dig into the best albums of 2024, so far. Let us know what you think—what's your favorite? What did we miss? What do we need to hear?

Song Exploder - Sam Smith – Stay With Me

Sam Smith is a Grammy and Oscar-winning singer and songwriter from London, England. Their first album, In the Lonely Hour, came out in 2014. It went quintuple platinum in the US, and the biggest hit from that album is the song “Stay With Me,” which has over 2 billion streams on Spotify alone. For this episode, in honor of the song’s 10th anniversary, I talked to Sam about how “Stay With Me” was made. I also talked to Sam’s frequent collaborator, Jimmy Napes, who is an award-winning producer and songwriter as well. The two of them tell the story of how the song began, and how it turned into the hit that it became. And then, years later, how it changed again.

After blowing out his vocal chords and leaving much speculation about if or when he might ever return to music, Sturgill Simpson suddenly dropped a new album, Passage du Desir. This week Danny and Tyler talk about the new album, released as Sturgill's new alter ego Johnny Blue Skies, and discuss how Sturgill went on a globe-trotting quest to find himself, only to discover something totally new that's also satisfyingly familiar.
