Red Dirt America with Chuck Taylor

Back on Dec 13th of 2021, I interviewed Drake Milligan on my All Star Morning Show on KHYI in Dallas, Tx. Recently, Drake appeared on AGT and my YouTube livestream from that interview suddenly shot up in views. For this episode of Red Dirt America, I decided to release that interview on the podcast.  It features two live performances from Drake, I hope you enjoy it.

Seth Walker is an American blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter who's getting set to drop his 11th studio album I Hope I Know.  I had a conversation with Seth about that album, his musical career, and a moment that would change his life.

Season 2 of Red Dirt America kicks off with Music Icon John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful. Legendary musician John Sebastian takes listeners back to the golden days of rock and roll, recalling his time at Woodstock and his inspiring collaboration with Arlen Roth. He also reminisces about playing alongside Yank Rachel in the early 90s and shares his thoughts on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His newest album, Explore Spoonful Songbook, is a true testament to his musical talent. Join John and host Chuck Taylor for a lighthearted and captivating conversation about music and its timeless impact on the world.

On this episode of Red Dirt America, I talk to Joshua Ray Walker who released his third album in three years! That's quite an accomplishment considering 2 of the albums were put out during a pandemic!

Jason Boland and the Stragglers have been in the forefront of Texas and Red Dirt music for over 20 years! They're dropping a brand new album on Dec 3rd produced by Shooter Jennings called "The Light Saw Me." It's a concept album telling the tale of a "Time-Travelling, Alien-Abducted Cowboy!" In this episode, I talk about the album with Jason and "probe" to find out what that really means!

Randall King is a rising country star who's put in the work and has been compared to the likes of George Strait and Alan Jackson. He has a major label deal with Warner Bros and has earned their respect with his hard work and diligence. He's an artist whose music you'll fall in love with. 

In this special episode of Red Dirt America, I talk with my longtime friend Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. The band is celebrating, to quote Ray, "Half A Hundred Years!" The new album drops tomorrow, then they play ACL Fest and embark on a tour.  We look back at the band over the years and even talk about the one thing he won't do again!

In this episode, I catch up with Bart Crow who's getting set to release his new album "Pretty Good Heart" on Oct 30th! He and his family are living on the road in an RV, we talk about why the chose to do that, the new album, and who's living in his house! Plus he's teaching his boys some important life skills!
