In this episode I'm talking with legendary songwriter Roger Springer, whose career spans more than three decades in country music. Roger shares his journey from Oklahoma honky-tonks to Nashville hitmaker, writing for artists like Mark Chesnutt, Jake Worthington, and Will Banister.

He talks about loyalty, mentorship, and why real country music never truly goes away. From capturing melodies “that come from somewhere else” to helping young artists find their voice, Roger’s insights show exactly what keeps traditional country alive.
