We're here to reflect on the high points of the show over the years, our fav moments, and what it was like to connect with our musical heroes via the show. And here on our swan song episode, we're here to talk about Beyonce and her hit "Texas Hold 'Em," included on the masterful "Cowboy Carter" album, and the history of country music itself.

We'd love to continue to connect! You can reach us on @stephaniestalktunes on all the socials.
