Reviewing Willi Carlisle's New Album Critterland, with Deanna Ortiz Feb 13, 2024

We think Willi Carlisle is one of the best and most-interesting songwriters in folk and country music today.

This week we're joined by comedian Deanna Ortiz (@deannaortiz_, Crushes Podcast) to discuss Carlisle's newest LP, Critterland, which is heartbreaking, hopeful, and beautiful from beginning to end.
