Holler Weekly

Kelly's been to Dollywood! Having tasted all the food, been on every ride and listened to all the exciting new artists working there, she gives us an exclusive round-up review of her weekend at Dolly's favourite theme park.

Also, Thomas Rhett is back in the building! Having spoken to Holler's very own Ross Jones, TR is back with a brand new album and a new lease of life. Kelly and Baylen discuss the country star's route to balancing his life and career, returning to his roots and what country really means to him.

Finally, Ashley Monroe's new album Rosegold has got everyone excited for her return. One of Baylen's three favourite Pistol Annie's sat down with Jof Owen to discuss how she doesn't see this album as being what you would necessarily call country. 

Plus we explore your investigative work into Americana in this week's Mailbag and Ernie returns! It's all here at Holler Weekly.

How do you feel about taking a hot tub-converted limousine down the middle of Broadway? No, we're not so sure either. Neither are Baylen and Kelly, as they catch up about everything that's happened this week in London and Nashville.

The duo also discuss how good the forthcoming albums from Kacey Musgraves and Yola are going to be and how RVSHVD is one of the next big things in Country.

Finally, Jof Owen joins the gang to really settle the age-old question... What Is Americana??

What sort of Roots podcast is this if there's no discussion of Carrots or Leeks within the first fifteen minutes? Listen in and find out on Holler Weekly.
