Stagione 2

Bryan Hartley Industries

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.

Waiting Around To Die

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.

Townes

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.
Stagione 1

Leaves of Grass

Join us as we discuss Leaves of Grass, the Walt Whitman-inspired 2009 film starring Edward Norton (twice) and Steve Earle playing a mean dude from Oklahoma. You have a spiritual objection to monofilament?

Washington Square Serenade (Live from New York City)

Tyler and Brian are together in Brooklyn to talk about Steve's move to New York and the first album he put out after crossing the Hudson, Washington Square Serenade. Just three Southern boys who dream of nights in NYC.

Shame Ain't Worth As Much As You Think. Let It Go. (The Wire Part III)

Join us for the third (and final) part of our deep dive on The Wire. For Walon, for Bubs, for folks in recovery everywhere. And if this little detour hasn't been your thing, don't worry, we'll be back to nerding out about Steve's music on the next episode.

It's Baltimore, Gentlemen. The Gods Will Not Save You (The Wire Part II)

We continue our deep dive into The Wire, covering Season 3 and most of Season 4. Rest In Power, Michael K. Williams.

Getting Clean's The Easy Part. Now Comes Life (The Wire, Part I)

Speaking about his character Walon, Steve Earle said, "“In The Wire I played a redneck recovering addict. It didn’t require any acting.” The last thing the world needs is two more middle aged white dudes talking about The Wire, but it's still the best, and Steve was in it, so come take a walk in the garden with us.

Down By The Green River Where Paradise Lay

Our friend Jessee Kowalski (Meantime, Jessee William) joins us to kick off 2024, where we talk more about the connections between country and hardcore and explore records by John Prine, Blue Rodeo, and Orville Peck. Also, Winnipeg is in Manitoba, NOT Alberta, Brian.

The Revolution Starts Now

It's 2004. Join us as we drive up and down I-55 listening to Steve and Janeane Garofalo get us amped up about what would surely be the most important election of our lifetimes. Right?
