You know, Country & Western!
This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.

After a month+ hiatus, The Both Kinds of Music Show returns to the airwaves. On today’s show, we remember George Jones and celebrate Willie Nelson’s 80th birthday with lots of good stuff in between. Join me for two hours of country music goodness.
The Both Kinds of Music Show is on BBOX Radio from 4:30-6:30 p.m. ET (1:30-3:30 PT).
Boo! There’s a rerun playing. Hopefully I can get the new episode to air before next week.
Oh, man, nobody’s had more bad things happen to him. I’ve never seen Willie depressed, though I’m sure he has been there. You know, there are dark things inside, because he couldn’t write like he does if he was just a sunny person. I’ve seen him in sad places, but I think he deals with life very well. Better than most. And the Christmas season’s got to be one of the hardest times for him, ’cause that’s when his son died. And I think his intelligence, his natural sense of humor—I mean, he can find humor in places where most people wouldn’t. He’s one of the funniest people on the planet and the funniest friend I’ve got.
