90s Country, American Idol, and Grindstone Cowboy with Special Guest Craig Campbell

In this episode of the Southern Gentlemen Podcast, hosts Chris Thomas and Winston Cruze sit down with country music artist Craig Campbell for a heartfelt and wide-ranging conversation. Craig opens up about losing his father at a young age and how that experience shapes the way he shows up as a dad to his girls today. The guys dive into a fun back-and-forth on the great debate: 80's country vs. 90's country. They also talk about Craig's appearance on American Idol with Mattie Pruitt, what that moment meant to him, and how it came to be.    But it's not all music - Craig also shares the inspiration behind his hometown coffee shop, Grindstone Cowboy, how it came to be, what it's meant to his community, and where he hopes to take it next.  To top it all off, Craig talks about his new single "Missing You," then closes out the episode with a live performance of his beloved hit "Outskirts of Heaven." This one's got heart, humor, and a whole lotta Southern soul.
