"Hard Roads & Honky Tonks Episode 3."

"When you look at a packed amphitheater or a sold-out theater, you see the lights, you hear the pedal steel crying, and you see an artist standing at center stage bathed in glory. But nobody sees the 300,000 miles logged in a rusted-out Ford van with a slipping transmission. Nobody hears the quiet panic at a gas pump in the middle of Missouri when the card gets declined, and you’ve got 200 miles left to the next gig and 8 dollars in your bank account.This series isn't about the squeaky-clean, corporate-manufactured radio pop that gets churned out of boardroom meetings. This is about the raw, heavy-hitting, unvarnished grit of real independent country music—the men and women who bleed for every single line they write and every barroom floor they conquer."
