On Episode 212, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Caleb Lee Hutchinson. This past Friday, Hutchinson released the cosmic-swept space country album Southern Galactic. With anthemic barnburners like the tone-setting "Silverado" and honky-tonk juke joints like "At Least I'm Drunk" and "Good at Being Bad," Hutchinson captures adventurous sonic punches while delivering familiar country themes. Still, heartbreak, lonesomeness, and existential dread do the heaviest lifting on Southern Galactic. As a songwriter, Hutchinson continues to take giant strides as a storyteller and embraces those deep, dark, and often difficult moments on songs like "I Miss You," "Quarter Life Crisis," "Used Too," and "She Didn't Drink with Me." It's in those moments where everything comes together--Hutchinson's brooding baritone matches the heartbreak and unsureness of his lyrics while the vast chasm of deep space rumbles through with Western tinges and '80s synth.
During this episode, we talk about Hutchinson working with producer Titanic Sinclair, exploring the studio space, existential dread, our first pickup trucks, and the songwriting of Southern Galactic.

On Episode 211, I'm joined by Texas singer-songwriter Dallas Burrow. This past summer, Burrow released his latest full-length, the country and folk rambler Blood Brothers. With fellow Texan songwriter/producer Jonathan Tyler at the producing helm, Burrow continues establishing himself as a vivid storyteller with a knack for delivering a compelling, hearty punch. "Motel 6" is a road-weary charmer that'll fill your coffee cup for the drive back home. Songs like the wistful "Starry Eyes," haunting honky tonking "Out My Window," and the sad country waltzer "A Lot of It Was" showcase Burrow's (and Tyler's) dynamics as storyteller and bandleader. Still, the crisp title track "Blood Brothers," a certified Texas epic built on lore, adventure, heritage, and everlasting oaths, is perhaps Burrow's greatest moment.
During this episode, we talk about writing "Blood Brothers," covering Townes Van Zandt, working with Jonathan Tyler, and becoming buddies with the likes of Texas legend Willis Alan Ramsey.
