September 03, 2025 Who Is Clever?
Music fans, and specifically pop fans, may know this week’s guest, who goes by “Clever,” from his feature with Post Malone on Justin Bieber’s 2020 hit “Forever.” But to country music listeners, Clever – born Joshua Huie – is mostly a complete unknown. The Alabama-born rapper is on a path to changing that and has the potential, and the struggle, to be the next Jelly Roll. Check out this week’s episode of Nashville Now as we dive into the history of country rap, why Taylor Swift was in Nashville last week, and so much more.

August 27, 2025 Charley Crockett On What's Really Outlaw
Nashville Now is back, and this week we dive into the online feud
between Gavin Adcock – our guest from last week – and Charley Crockett, who joins us on the pod this week. After Crockett shared his thoughts on authenticity in country music, Adcock fired back, calling him a “cosplay cowboy.” The two have been trading barbs for more than a week, and on this week’s episode Crockett shares more of his take
on what constitutes country music, disputing the notion that “outlaw country” is a subgenre of today’s country. We also dig into his new album Dollar a Day and share our must “Hear Now” songs of the week, check it out!
