Singer-songwriter Cole Chaney joins The Western Side Podcast to talk about the long road to his highly anticipated second album after Mercy. From the quiet hollers of Boyd County, Kentucky to the sold-out stages of Americana’s biggest festivals, Cole’s journey has been one of grit, patience and purpose.

In this conversation, Cole opens up about writing and recording his new record In The Shadow of the Mountain, how place and people shape his songwriting, the balancing act between staying true to his roots but still reaching a wider audience and why slowing down might be the key to making his best work yet.

Whether you’ve been playing Mercy since day one or just discovering Cole’s music, this episode offers a candid, heartfelt look at an artist in the middle of his next big chapter.
