Josh Crutchmer is the author of Red Dirt Unplugged, Singers, Songs and Stories Shining a Spotlight on Heartland Roots Music. It's Josh's 3rd book as the unofficially official historian of the Red Dirt music scene. When Josh isn't writing for Rolling Stone, or at his day job with the New York Times, he's deeply embedded in all things Red Dirt.

We chatted several weeks ago and covered just how fast the scene is evolving. Since recording this and finding time to edit it Cross Canadian Ragweed reunited at Mile 0 Fest. In our conversation we talk Wyatt Flores, Grunge, Emo Country, female musicians, under appreciated musicians, Idaho and more. 

In an hour we barely scratched the surface, I look forward to following up with Josh down the road and seeing where pen and paper take him next.
