Patriotic Country Songs with Joe Mande [REMASTERED] Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

This week we revisit a favorite topic: insane, pandering, patriotic country songs. Originally aired on July 4th 2022, this episode features comedian Joe Mande (Hacks, The Good Place, Parks and Recreation), who joins us in going down the un-nuanced rabbit hole of unabashedly pro-America country music.
This episode has been remixed and remastered to improve sound quality and include new song clips for context.

This week we're a day late (and probably a dollar short too), and so discussing the ramblin', hard-workin', hard-timin' Charley Crockett seems to make a lot of sense. Crockett is one of the most prolific and beloved artists currently working in the folk/country/Americana/etc. world, and though narrowing down a song was hard, we landed adding his soulful, funky, swampy ditty "I'm Just a Clown" to our Ultimate Country Playlist.

77: "Dead Flowers" by The Rolling Stones May 07, 2024

Show notes

This week Danny and Tyler discuss the excellent country-rock songs of The Rolling Stones, and add "Dead Flowers" to the Ultimate Country Playlist.
Though you likely associate them with classic rock and blues, The Rolling Stones' untouchable string of albums through the late 60's and early 70's is full of country sounds. The country influence of Gram Parsons and the country-inspired guitar work of Mick Taylor are especially present on the basically-perfect Exile on Main Street and the iconic Sticky Fingers; on this episode we'll be talking about why this is our favorite period in the Stones' long, long catalog.
