64: "A Lesson In Leavin'" by Dottie West Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

This week we add Patsy Cline protégé and Country Pop innovator Dottie West to our ongoing public playlist. Specifically we add the No. 1 country hit "A Lesson In Leavin'" (though it is certainly more pop than country). We discuss Dottie's pop transformation, the hardships she endured in childhood and in her career, and what she has in common with Journey's Steve Perry.

Waltzing with God: Reviewing Tyler Childers' "Rustin' In The Rain" with Kenny DeForest Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

This week comedian Kenny DeForest (New comedy special, Don't You Know Who I Am, available now!) joins us once again to talk about Tyler Childers. Like it or not, Childers has grown a lot since his early days as a hard-partying storyteller, when he first earned acclaim for combining Appalachian and Outlaw Country sounds. He's grown artistically, emotionally, and spiritually, as evidenced by his recent ventures into gospel. The boys and Kenny share their initial reactions to the new Childers LP, "Rustin' In The Rain," which has already earned acclaim for it's tender lead single, "In Your Love," which was accompanied by an emotionally powerful music video.

63: "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink And I Don't Love Jesus" by Jimmy Buffett Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Today on the podcast Danny and Tyler pay tribute to Jimmy Buffett, who sadly passed away recently. Jimmy Buffett has become very famous for his colorful fanbase, kitschy businesses, and the mega hit "Margaritaville," but he also had a string of excellent country albums in the early to mid 70's. Though he self-categorized as "Gulf & Western," he was undeniably country for quite some time. This week we dig into Buffett's legacy and underrated songs, and add the hangover gospel track "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus" (feat. the Oak Ridge Boys) to our ongoing playlist.

61: "I Don't Care" by Justin Townes Earle, w/ Max Fine Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

This week we're joined by comedian Max Fine (In the Minivan Podcast) to discuss the incredible songwriting and impeccable aesthetics of the late great Justin Townes Earle. Narrowing down which song from Earle's diverse catalog to add to our ongoing playlist was tough, but we settled on one of his earliest songs, the bouncy, minimalist country ditty "I Don't Care" from his debut EP Yuma. We also discuss Justin's famous father Steve Earle, his relationship with Jason Isbell, and how we all did on various standardized tests.

The Best Covers of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Take This Pod and Shove It is listener supported. Visit our Patreon to support the show!
Bob Dylan has always been a fan of country music, and even though he only intentionally wrote and recorded country music a few times in his career, his impact on the genre is massive and goes back to his earliest days as a young folk prodigy. This week Danny and Tyler take a look at one particular Dylan song that has been covered by country artists so many times it is basically a country standard: "Don't Think Twice It's All Right."
Listen to hear us rank our favorite covers of the classic tune; and to hear the controversial backstory behind the song's writing credits.

A Country Tribute to Sinead O'Connor Aug 08, 2023

Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, and more all have a part to play in this episode.
Also, we pay our respects to the hilarious and influential Paul Reubens, who we learned passed away right before recording.
