4: "Jolene" by Dolly Parton Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

This week Danny and Tyler cover Dolly Parton's most-covered song: "Jolene," from the 1974 album of the same name. One can't overstate Dolly's importance to country music, but we do our best to cram as much gushing as we can into an hour. And along the way we talk about Dolly Parton's Stampede, Dolly's famous origin story, and the enduring legacy of other hits like "I Will Always Love You" and "9 to 5"--plus an awkward cameo from Tyler's cats!

3: "Goodbye Earl" by The Chicks, w/ Caleb Hearon Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

This episode is rated: Cowboy! This week Danny and Tyler are joined by comedian, writer, and The Chicks expert Caleb Hearon (@calebsaysthings, Keeping Records Podcast). Together they discuss The Chicks’ humble origin as a bluegrass quartet, the group's various controversies, “Truck Stop" and "Blue Collar" comedy, the Bush years (uh oh!), and how the song “Goodbye Earl” is the most fun murder ballad ever written.

This episode is a bit of a journey (you’ll see how and why when you listen), so thanks for joining us for a wild ride and through some technical/audio difficulties. We promise it’s worth it for a lot of great Chicks trivia, and some big laughs.

2: "Act Naturally" by Buck Owens Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

If you don't know Buck Owens, one of your favorite musicians is almost certainly influenced by him (or influenced by someone who was influenced by him, etc.). On this episode Danny and Tyler discuss Buck's wild success, his hilarious band (The Buckaroos), the megahit "Act Naturally," and how rebelling against the Nashville Sound can be even more rock 'n' roll than rock 'n' roll itself.

1: "Please Don't Bury Me" by John Prine Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

On the debut episode of Take This Pod and Shove It, Danny and Tyler discuss one of their mutual favorites: the great John Prine! Often considered "Music/songwriting's Mark Twain," John Prine is funny, heartbreaking, charming, understated, dry, and brilliant. Danny and Tyler discuss the rollicking and decidedly-country "Please Don't Bury Me," and also explore Prine's origin story as a Chicago mailman, plus how his first few albums alone changed country, folk, and American songwriting forever.
