Today on the podcast Danny and Tyler pay tribute to Jimmy Buffett, who sadly passed away recently. Jimmy Buffett has become very famous for his colorful fanbase, kitschy businesses, and the mega hit "Margaritaville," but he also had a string of excellent country albums in the early to mid 70's. Though he self-categorized as "Gulf & Western," he was undeniably country for quite some time. This week we dig into Buffett's legacy and underrated songs, and add the hangover gospel track "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus" (feat. the Oak Ridge Boys) to our ongoing playlist.

This summer, in June 2023, Janelle Monáe put out her fourth album, The Age of Pleasure. Listening to it made me want to revisit her Song Exploder episode, from 2018. One thing on Song Exploder that I personally love is when we get to hear an artist’s raw voice memo, from the moment when they’re first coming up with a song idea. This episode has one of my all-time favorites.

Janelle Monáe is an award-winning musician and actress who released her first record in 2007. She’s been nominated for multiple Grammys, and she starred in the Oscar films Moonlight and Hidden Figures. In April 2018, she released her third album, Dirty Computer, which includes this song, “So Afraid.” In this episode, Janelle Monáe takes “So Afraid” apart, to explain how she built it, step by step—beginning with a trip to the dentist.

This weekend Zach Bryan released his highly anticipated self-titled album, which might be the hottest country album since...well, the last Zach Bryan album. On today's episode Danny and Tyler are joined by comedian Ali O'Neil (Worthless Clowns Podcast) to discuss what works, what doesn't work, and what's totally new on Bryan's poetic, and proudly self-produced new LP.

This week we're joined by comedian Max Fine (In the Minivan Podcast) to discuss the incredible songwriting and impeccable aesthetics of the late great Justin Townes Earle. Narrowing down which song from Earle's diverse catalog to add to our ongoing playlist was tough, but we settled on one of his earliest songs, the bouncy, minimalist country ditty "I Don't Care" from his debut EP Yuma. We also discuss Justin's famous father Steve Earle, his relationship with Jason Isbell, and how we all did on various standardized tests.

The "Skip Intro" button first got introduced to us through Netflix in 2017, and, I know, a lot of people use it – including me. But, if I can get into old-man, back-in-my-day mode for a second, I have so much fondness for the opening theme music for so many shows. It’s a chance to set the mood for everything that you’re about to see. One of the intros that I never skip is the animated opening title sequence for Only Murders in the Building, which is a Hulu show that debuted in August 2021, and now is in its third season. It was created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, and it stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The three of them play neighbors who live in the same building in New York, and they’re all obsessed with the same true crime podcast. And then when someone in their building gets murdered, they decide to start their own true crime podcast, and try and solve the mystery of who the killer is.

For this episode, I talked to the show’s composer, Siddhartha Khosla, about the show’s theme music. Coming up, you’ll hear a voice memo that Siddhartha recorded before he’d even heard about the show, which then led to a demo that you’ll hear, and eventually, the final theme.

Bob Dylan has always been a fan of country music, and even though he only intentionally wrote and recorded country music a few times in his career, his impact on the genre is massive and goes back to his earliest days as a young folk prodigy. This week Danny and Tyler take a look at one particular Dylan song that has been covered by country artists so many times it is basically a country standard: "Don't Think Twice It's All Right."

Listen to hear us rank our favorite covers of the classic tune; and to hear the controversial backstory behind the song's writing credits.

[CW: Child abuse.] Sadly, we recently lost the talented and radical Sinead O'Connor. On today's episode we pay tribute to O'Connor's iconic music and acts of protest—plus we share times when O'Connor covered country music and was embraced by the country music community. Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, and more all have a part to play in this episode.

Also, we pay our respects to the hilarious and influential Paul Reubens, who we learned passed away right before recording.
