Lorrie Morgan's Spicy Hot Husband Count Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

When all a man gets in his divorce is his beloved pickup truck, you know it's a country music story. To be fair, he also got $65k because his ex-wife was country music (and hot chicken) legend Lorrie Morgan. Her 6 marriages are the stuff country songs are made of - literally! Her messy divorce from Jon Randall led to him writing the Brad Paisley/Alison Krauss hit "Whisky Lullaby".
