The War and Treaty Are Done with Playing the Game
from Rolling Stone All Access · host Rolling Stone
The War and Treaty are done doing it Nashville’s way. In a bold new interview with Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, the husband-and-wife duo of Michael and Tanya Trotter open up about playing the mainstream country game — and why they would advise other artists against it. They also talk about the Adult Contemporary vibes of their new album The Story of Michael and Tanya, what it felt like to be snubbed at this year’s ACM Awards, and why Michael’s military service stands out in a community where patriotism is a buzz word. It’s an important, unvarnished conversation about today’s country music, only on Nashville Now. Country is Here… Nashville is Now. Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.
