In the last few years, Chris Stapleton has emerged as one of country music’s newest superstars. He’s just released another gem of an album called STARTING OVER. Chris joins the Crook & Chase team for a frank discussion of some very personal topics included on the CD. He shares the heartwarming story of the tribute to his dog Maggie, the events that led to a “farewell type” song called Nashville, even a song based on the Vegas shootings called WATCH YOU BURN. Some powerful moments with Chris and some hilarious moments as well, as we go behind the scenes of the “farce album” bit he did for Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show.

MADDIE & TAE: Their 2020 miracle year! Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

Don't let it fool you. They are young, fun, and totally adorable but Maddie & Tae are NO lightweights. They weathered some of the cruelest realities of the music business following dizzying success - fearing critics may be right that they would be a "one hit wonder", their record label folding just as they were recording their sophomore album, and self-doubt that spiraled into depression. Not for long! Maddie & Tae leaned into their faith, respected their own talent, and have pulled off one of the most powerful comebacks in recent years. Crook & Chase: Nashville Chats with Maddie & Tae - a conversation of faith and gratitude for the Christmas season.

DARIUS RUCKER : ZOOMIN’ WITH BEERS AND SUNSHINE Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

While this has been a year of change and oftentimes struggles for all of us, Darius Rucker rose up and met the challenge of 2020. As it turns out, it became a year of firsts for Darius as he co-wrote his new single using ZOOM for the first time, continued his annual fundraising efforts for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital on line, and even was tapped as co-host with Reba for the 2020 CMA Awards show. Although Darius admits he doesn’t have the cure-all for what’s going on in the world right now, he can help point out the everyday, simple joys in life that keep us going. For example, that single he wrote during the pandemic on ZOOM, Beers and Sunshine, says a lot about quality time spent with friends and family. So just how easy or difficult was it to not only write, but record that new single socially distanced? On this Crook & Chase Nashville Chat, you’ll hear all about that session as well as Luke Bryan’s underwear commercials, the recent Hootie and the Blowfish Reunion Tour, and an important discussion on “mask breath”. Ok Darius, you’re on...
