We're so stoked to have Caleb Lee Hutchinson as our guest on No Simple Road this week! For as long as Caleb Lee Hutchinson has been making music, he has rooted his creative process in the brutal honesty and rich storytelling tradition of country music’s roots. Hutchinson’s voice and wit inspired important collaborations on his 2019 self-titled debut EP, produced by Grammy winner Kristian Bush, and 2021 follow-up, “Slot Machine Syndrome,” produced by Grammy-nominated Americana stalwart, Brent Cobb. In 2022, Caleb self-produced the darkly themed EP, “Songs I’ll Never Sing Again,” and wrote and starred in the accompanying short film. 

With his new project, “Southern Galactic,”—produced by multi-genre artist and creator Titanic Sinclair—Hutchinson explores new territory while maintaining his reverence for the honesty and storytelling that seeded his love for country music as a Georgia boy listening to Mississippi John Hurt and Waylon Jennings cassettes with his dad.

This one goes deep talking to Caleb about:

- His mental health struggles.

- The stigma of being a man and dealing with an eating disorder.

- His experience of being runner-up on American idol and what that whole experience did to his mental health.

- Coming to learn that being honest and transparent is truly healing.

- The real horrors of social media comments sections.

- The ways in which Country Music and Punk Rock overlap.

- His new album 'Southern Galactic'.

- Leaning to ignore the inner voice that wants us to fail.

- The impetus of the idea for The Green Couch podcast.

... and a whole lot more!
