Hardcore Troubadour

by Tyler Short and Brian Wallace
Season 3

Guy

Let's talk about Steve's tribute album for his friend and mentor, the incredible Guy Clark. Let's also talk about hardcore shows, caves, the National Park Service. Also, we must warn you that this episode contains PADDINGTON IN PERU SPOILERS.

Honky Tonk Heroes

Join us as we discuss Waylon Jennings' outlaw country masterpiece, "Honky Tonk Heroes." It's been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago.

So You Wanna Be An Outlaw?

Waylon and Willie, Guy and Steve, phaser pedals and psy-ops. If you wanna be an outlaw you can never go home.

Colvin and Earle

Join us as we dig into Steve's 2016 collaboration with Shawn Colvin. Also: Saint Luigi, David Lee Roth's Sonrisa Salvaje, and infinite waves of ska.

Three Kings

We're back after a three month hiatus, and getting into the swing of things by digging into three classic records by three true Kings: Albert, B.B., and Freddie. Shout-out to Japan, shout-out to Tulsa, shout-out to taking matters into your own hands (with prior authorization, of course).
Season 2

Terraplane

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?

Live in Nashville 1995

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.

The Low Highway

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.

Hank & Holehan

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.

I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive

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.
