Americana | feat. Tyler Childers, Steve Earle, The Highwomen, Steve Earle + more

Episode 056: "What in the Wide World of Sports is Americana?" Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave for a special episode of the Six Picks Music Club as they welcome a guest Jeff to the conversation about the most deliciously undefinable of genres. Americana is like that perfect roadside diner: you know the vibe when you walk in, even if you can't quite articulate the decor. It has the twang of classic country, the soul of folk music, and a lyrical sincerity that just feels like home, even if "home" means a broken-down Ford pickup on a backroad somewhere. The guys attempt to pin down this elusive sound by spinning a killer playlist that jumps from the legendary Texas troubadour Willis Alan Ramsey to the raw, hard-edged storytelling of Tyler Childers. They also dive into the powerhouse harmonies of The Highwomen, look at a possible evolution of the genre from Halsey, and explore the enduring grit of Steve Earle and the lush, layered folk of Fleet Foxes. But be warned: the conversation takes a hard left turn, veering off the musical highway to tackle the pressing matter of escaped cats and, well, prolapsed anuses. It’s a true Americana experience—unpredictable, a little messy, and entirely heartfelt. Tune in for the music, stay for the feline emergency room stories!   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site Listener Listens - Teethe - Instagram
