Terraplane is a blues record. We have mixed feelings about it, but it's got some bangers, and some true Southern Goth moments. Also, Japan, Mexico City, the pants are big again, and the most important question: Does Jesus have rizz?

Steve Earle's comeback show in Nashville after the release of Train A Comin' was one for the ages, featuring guest appearances by Emmylou Harris and Bill Monroe, as well as a newly sober Steve sounding better than ever. Come for the music, stay for the JFK assassination conspiracy theories.

We're excited to be back and digging into Steve's excellent 2013 release, The Low Highway. Come for the music, stay for making fun of JD Vance and getting all emotional about our sons and cats. When Chapo Trap House misses the easy layup, Hardcore Troubadour is here to grab that offensive rebound and slam it home.

We welcome our special guest Jeremy Holehan (Supertouch, Miracle Drug) to talk about growing up in Kentucky, chance encounters at shopping malls, and the inextricable links between country and hardcore. We also dive into some records by Willie Nelson, Hank III, and Colter Wall. There's a Manitoba Man behind the fillin' station store.

Join us as we talk about an often overlooked gem from Steve's catalogue, I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive. Also, Tied Down Fest, baseball in London, terrible cops, and bringing back the draft. You know, the usuals. Yeah, I believe in God, and God ain't me.

Join us as we welcome a very special guest from Memphis, Tennessee, the one and only Bryan Hartley. We discuss the joys of touring, North Mississippi geography, and how if they call your show an after-party, no one is gonna come. We also dig into some excellent records by Dwight Yoakam, Kathleen Edwards, and Mississippi's own Andrew Bryant. Hey hey, we all wanna fall in love.

We're talking Townes (Van Zandt) again this week, but this time through his own records and not Steve's interpretations. Also: old man shows, college, and Marian apparitions. So shake the dust off of your wings and the sleep out of your eyes.

We're back, after a very brief hiatus, to discuss Steve's 2009 tribute to Townes Van Zandt. RIP Townes. RIP Eddie Sutton. Please lay off the string scratches this time, Tom Morello.
