Merry Christmas you filthy animals! We share our favorite Christmas albums as well as some of our favorite renditions of the best Christmas songs. We talk Vince Gill, Faith Hill, and Martina McBride as we count down the days until Christmas.

While you know who the top artists in country music are, do you know the talented men and women behind them that are writing the best songs in country music? We chat about artists who got their start in songwriting and how it impacted the artist they've become today. Then we dive in to some of the best and well-known songwriters in Nashville. These are songwriters with multiple chart-topping hits who are just as important to the song as the artists singing. As usual we conclude with our throwback jams, new artists, and trivia.

Late night podcast! Immediately following the 52nd CMA Awards we provide our honest and blunt thoughts on the evening as a whole. Things we liked, things we didn't, our favorite performances, and which ones left us wanting a little more.

The BIGGEST night in country music is almost here. The 52nd CMA Awards are set to air next Wednesday, November 14 at 8/7c on ABC. We breakdown each of the categories, selecting who would get our vote, as well as who we think eventually wins each category. From Musical Event of the Year to Single of the Year and from Female Artist of the Year to Entertainer of the Year, we give our honest thoughts about who should win as well as those that got snubbed from nomination. As usual we conclude with a throwback track, artist you should be listening to, and trivia.

The best of the best.

This episode we rant and rave about who we think are the best entertainers in country music. We talk Garth, Kenny, Reba, T-Rhett and more. This episode we also touch on what's been going on in country music - including debut albums from Jimmie Allen and Morgan Evans, as well as our experience at a Chris Lane concert.

One of the best parts of country music is when two solo artists come together for a song. We discuss some of the most notable duets over the years, our favorite combinations, and our dream pairings. But first, we kick things off by diving into Carrie Underwood's new album "Cry Pretty."

And the winner is....

This week's podcast we talk about the artists that have found success in country music because of the singing competition TV shows such as American Idol and The Voice. We include our favorite performances from these talented artists as well as the hilarious and entertaining comments from the judges/coaches. Simon Cowell made one of the most prophetic predictions of all time - find out what that was. 

As usual, we share our new artists, a throwback jam, and try to stump each other with country music trivia.

Trade in your sweet tea and cornbread for some hot tea and crumpets! This episode we talk all things UK country music. Discover how these talented artists are turning London into the UK version of Nashville.
