- 46 - 44. Neo-Neo Traditional Country Music
Recorded back in April, an in depth discussion of the emergence of Neo-Neo Traditional Country sound, a term we may have unknowingly coined on this podcast in October of 2022. Since then we have seen it pop up a few times online and thought we should discuss exactly what we mean by Neo-Neo Traditional Country Music, where it came from, and some of the artists that encapsulate the sound.
Tue, 22 Oct 2024 - 1h 14min - 45 - 43. Artist Spotlight: Chattahoochies + Emily Zeck
Start of an ongoing series of 'Artist Spotlight' mini episodes where we each discuss an artist we're listening to at the moment. Might be a new artist, might be someone we just saw live. This week we start with The Chattahoochies and Emily Zeck, a bunch of brand new honky-tonkin' gals we're digging quite a bit.
Fri, 10 May 2024 - 44min - 44 - 42. Is Country Cool Again?
Pop stars are crossing over to make country records, Yellowstone was the biggest show on TV, supermodels are crossing over to rodeo competition, and fashion trends are saturated with country and western music and style…is country cool again? And what are the upsides and downsides of this? Simpsons references abound with Düff beer from Sweeden and a spontaneous a capella rendition of Cletus The Slack-Jawed Yokel adjusted for Morgan Wallen. A high water mark if we do say so ourselves.
Wed, 17 Apr 2024 - 56min - 43 - 41. Beyoncé Part 2 - Cowboy Carter Album Reaction
Our thoughts on Cowboy Carter as a country record after its release last week. This follows our Part 1 discussion on Beyoncé's foray into Country Music which focused on her past controversy with country music, the genre's black history, and initial impressions whether it is country music from the first two tracks. Part 2 was recorded Monday April 1st, 4 days after the full Cowboy Carter release and prior to all the credits being released on Friday April 5th.
Sat, 06 Apr 2024 - 52min - 42 - 40. Beyoncé Part 1 - Is It Country?
Part 1 of 2 part discussion ahead of "Act II: Cowboy Carter" release. The biggest question everyone has been asking about Beyoncé’s latest music has been: "Is it Country?" Beyoncé has said herself “This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album.” Yet everything about it from the horses, hats, boots, and initial tracks, are signalling full-out country record. There’s a complicated history with Beyoncé and the country music establishment and an even more complicated hidden history of black artists and innovators in country music. We discuss her initial Country Carter tracks as well as 2016’s Daddy Lessons in the context of country music, but also her broader mission of reclaiming black contributions to country music. A Part 2 follow up episode with a discussion of whole record will follow!
Thu, 28 Mar 2024 - 1h 13min - 41 - 39. BBC Radio 2 x Country-Country Music
A bonus mini-episode this week from our Midnight Mastermind guest spot on BBC Radio 2 in the UK. It’s a nightly segment on OJ Borg’s show where random guests quiz him on their expert topic. We were honoured their producers contacted us for some questions on country music and had a fun time doing it. Turns out OJ loves cowboy hats as much as Andrew and we pioneered an all-too-nice Canadian scoring system! Just a note that BBC Radio of course had the clearance for the music that was played for the research portion, and for the George Strait song that played us out, but our podcast does not. So we did our best to cut the songs from the podcast without ruining the conversation over top.
Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 16min - 40 - 38. Hot Takes on Country Central's Hot Takes
This week we give our hot takes on the Follower Submitted Hot Takes on Country Central's Instagram account. Lots of polarizing polls that make for some good discussion.
Wed, 20 Mar 2024 - 51min - 39 - 37. Ameripolitan Awards in Austin
After a year hiatus the podcast is back with a chat about Andrew's serendipitous trip to Austin as the Ameripolitan Awards were happening. Highlights include Summer Dean, Brennen Leigh, The Golden Roses, Dale Watson, and Hannah Juanita.
Fri, 01 Mar 2024 - 43min - 38 - 36. Chatting about The Panhandlers
Andrew and Sean discuss The Panhandlers after their 'West Texas Is The Best Texas' EP made their Top 5 albums of the year. The super group of Flatland Cavalry's Cleto Cordero, Josh Abbott, John Baumann, and William Clark Green are all successful in their own right, but arguably greater than the sum of their parts as The Panhandlers. This is capital C, Country-Country Music that is as entertaining and witty as it is poetic and endearing.
Wed, 11 Jan 2023 - 44min - 37 - 35. The Best Records from 2022 (in our not-so-humble opinion)
2022's top 5 country-country albums and singles for Andrew and Sean. From Ronnie Dunn to Lost Dog Street Band, Emily Nenni to The Panhandlers, or Morgan Wade to Zach Bryan, there was lots of great music in 2022.
Tue, 03 Jan 2023 - 1h 04min - 36 - 34. The Greatest Era Of Country Music
Andrew and Sean are developing a bold opinion that we are currently living in the greatest era of country music ever. This is no longer 2012 where bro-country and pure pop-country dominate the genre. Building on their discussion in episode 32, there might be more legit country music being produced and more accessible than ever. From easily discovering new underground artists on music streaming platforms or YouTube, to even Top 40 Country Radio is more honky tonk influenced than it's been in 20 years.
Mon, 24 Oct 2022 - 43min - 35 - 33. Is Zach Bryan the poet laureate of rural Gen Z?
A month late with this podcast, but Andrew and Sean talk about Zach Bryan's dynamite September show in Ottawa, and more broadly about his awesome band, unique sound, and how ravenous his young fans are.
Sun, 16 Oct 2022 - 34min - 34 - 32. Stop Saying All New Country Sucks
For 10-15 years people have been talking about how there's no good country music anymore: the radio is all pop, all the best music is from decades past, etc. To be fair, there was always good country music being made, but there was less and you had to look harder for it. But that doesn't hold water anymore. There is so much good REAL country music these days readily available on the radio, streaming, live shows, etc. So Andrew and Sean begin to lay out an argument for us currently living in the greatest era of country music. From OG's like Alan Jackson still kickin' it, to newcomers like Emily Nenni, to Garret Hedlund making a strong comeback into country music.
Thu, 29 Sep 2022 - 49min - 33 - 31. George Strait live in Texas + The Golden Roses
After quite a hiatus from the podcast, Andrew and Sean get back into it with a chat about their life-altering trips to see George Strait at the Houston Rodeo and then George & Willie Nelson live in Austin. Also, The Golden Roses live at The White Horse, Lone Star Lights, an afternoon visit to The Broken Spoke, and Cowboy hats at natural wine parties in Austin.
Sat, 17 Sep 2022 - 40min - 32 - 30. Kacey Musgraves selling out, Ingrid Andress catfishing country fans, Walker Hayes' stupid dance

They discuss new music from Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Hailey Whitters, Jake Owen, Sam Hunt's 'Hard to Forget", and Morgan Wallen's recent douchebaggery.

Thu, 06 Feb 2020 - 1h 14min - 29 - 27. Jenna Paulette debate + Dry January + Equal Play, Big Data and algorythms
Country Music is always evolving, and when it evolves well it incorporates modern influences but retains significant traditional components that make it country (pedal steel, fiddles, lyrical themes). In this episode the boys mostly debate Jenna Paulette. Is she the new Country-Country for the mainstream or just a different flavour of Pop-Country? Also a discussion of the best non-alcoholic beers for Dry-January, and how Big Data and Algorythms affects the Equal Play campaign.
Sat, 18 Jan 2020 - 54min - 28 - 26. Final Country Catch-up for 2019

After hearing Stephanie Ryann and Layla Tucker slay a couple of the old standards, they draw some exceptions to the rule. They discuss Randall King's killer new Christmas song that is COUNTRY-Country AF. They circle back on a conversation about Jenny Leigh and woodworking. And they talk through their Jenna Paulette problem.
Tue, 24 Dec 2019 - 1h 09min - 27 - 25. Country Christmas Songs
It turns out Andrew and Sean hate most of the over-done, reproduced Christmas standards: the White Christmas and Rudolph songs. But they love the original country Christmas songs and in this episode they rant (and rave!) about what's to love about these seasonal songs. This episode comes with a companion playlist on our Spotify page to bop along with over the holidays, check it out!
Wed, 18 Dec 2019 - 1h 12min - 26 - 24. Jenny Leigh's table song, Karen & The Sorrows, 'Gimme Country' app, Brandy Clark + more

And Andrew rants about cowboy hats (again)...and a whole bunch more!
Fri, 06 Dec 2019 - 1h 03min - 25 - 23. The Players - Nashville's New A-Team Session Musicians
After 'The Players' were inducted to the Musicians Hall of Fame in October, Andrew and Sean decided to dedicate a whole episode to these gods of country music. They are: Paul Franklin, Brent Mason, Eddie Bayers, John Hobbs, Michael Rhodes and any one of them probably played on most of your favourite records from the last 5 decades. Buckle up and get ready to geek out on the history and style of these players that instrumentally shaped so much of country music. Serious honky-tonk nerd alert! 🤠🤓
Thu, 28 Nov 2019 - 1h 41min - 24 - 22. Del Barber Interview
While nursing pretty nice hangovers from going to his show the night before, Andrew and Sean sit down with Del Barber and his steel/guitar player Ryan Funk at the Country-Country head quarters and chat about his music and just country music in general. Del has been a staple of the Canadian Country and Americana scene for years and recently Rolling Stone named his song "Everyday Life" one of the "10 Best Country Songs to Hear Now". (Go check it out!) It was a fun conversation, but please excuse the ice clinking around in their Caesars...they were necessary for everyone's functionality.
Tue, 19 Nov 2019 - 1h 01min - 23 - 21. George Strait's home is for sale! Jenee Fleenor's CMA Nomination, Kathryn Legendre + more!
This week the boys catch up and discuss Jenee Fleenor (their favourite Nashville session fiddler they never knew about) and her recent CMA nomination! They think about a Kickstarter to buy George Strait's house in San Antonio, discuss up-and-coming Texas honky tonk gal Kathryn Legendre, and the 2019 Musician Hall of Fame inductees...and lots more.

The last but definitely not least in our 3 part series looking at the major historical movements in Country Music. This week we're talking about The Outlaw movement and how it came to be. There's a lot of misconceptions about how and why this happened, or what it even means.

Fri, 23 Aug 2019 - 57min - 11 - 10. The Bakersfield Sound
The 2nd in our 3 part series looking at the major historical movements in Country Music.

Fri, 17 May 2019 - 1h 00min - 7 - 6. The Future Is Female
This week we discuss our favourite female country artists. A demographic that has seen a decline on the Country Charts over the last 2 decades or so since the 90's and early 2000's. But with so much established talent, undiscovered artists in the underground, and those already doing well on the cusp of stardom we feel like so much of the best music in country today is by the ladies. And it feels like the future of *real* country music is being driven by female artists.
Thu, 09 May 2019 - 55min - 6 - 5. Underground Country
Follow on our last discussion of our favourite country artists who are enjoying mainstream success while keeping it country, today we discuss our favourite underground artists.

Wed, 01 May 2019 - 14min - 4 - 3. Artists Bridging The Gap
We discuss our favourite artists who are enjoying commercial success while still keeping it country.

Those going against the grain of popified mainstream country radio and still winning? References and details in the Episode Notes at www.countrycountrymusic.com
Wed, 24 Apr 2019 - 54min - 3 - 3. Lil Nas X (That's Mr. Lil Nas...If You're COUNTRY)

Thu, 18 Apr 2019 - 44min - 2 - 2. What Is Country-Country Music?
We wish we could simply tell people that we just liked 'country music'. But nowadays the genre is muddied and grey as ever with R&B vibes, snap tracks, trap beats, drum machines, rap verses, and yes, now the Backstreet Boys too. Since all that BS apparently counts as country music, we need to highlight the COUNTRY in country music. This week we take a crack at defining what we mean by Country-Country Music. REAL country music is difficult to define. Styles change and evolve, but there are limits on what should still be considered country and what should NOT be part of the genre....like the Backstreet Boys, for one. More on all that inside the podcast!
Sun, 14 Apr 2019 - 57min - 1 - 1. George Strait vs George Jones: Will The Real King George Please Stand Up
