Shawn Camp is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Arkansas who now makes his home in Nashville. He has written songs for Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and many more. Written with Loretta Lynn. Played in Alan Jackson, Jerry Reed, and Trisha Yearwood's bands. He and Guy Clark unleashed the Sis Draper universe of songs on the world.

My Gen X heart would be remiss if I didn't mention that he wrote "Two Pina Coladas," which Garth Brooks took to number one on the country charts, and "How Long Gone," which enjoyed the same fate in the hands of Brooks and Dunn.

Y'all, what an incredible honor to bring you, my conversation with Shawn Camp.

Paul Kelly is a bona fide legend. The singer and songwriter from Australia who has been writing and performing songs that dive deep into the human condition as well as anyone for over for decades. His song "How To Make Gravy" is so iconic it has spawned an unoffical holidy in Australia, Gravy Day, and a feature film starring Hugo Weaving.

Kelly has written a memoir, racked up shelves worth of Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards, and is likely among your favorite songwriter's favorite songwriters. His latest album Seventy is a masterful collection of songs which includes "Rita Wrote a Letter," which is the sequel to 1992's "How To Make Gravy." Y'all, I have worn out this CD in my car and it is an enormous honor to bring you my conversation with Paul Kelly.

Jano is one third of one of my favorite bands of all time The Wood Brothers. I have had the pleasure of seeing the band countless times and the honor of interviewing lead singer Oliver Wood on three separate occasions. The Wood Brothers are woven into the fabric of The Marinade and I am so grateful for the opportunities I've had to spread the word about their music.

Jano is also one half of Rix, the father/son duo with his dad Luther. Legacy Vol. 1 is available wherever you listen to music. The fusion of Jano and Luther (who played in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue and with Leonard Cohen among others) is a fertile alchemy.

We caught up with Jano on The Wood Brothers' tour bus ahead of their show at The Plaza Live just down the street from me in Orlando, FL. Ric Robertson opened the show. Jordan Foley accompanied me. Twas a beautiful night.

This is Episode 207 and our guest is Brian Dunne. Brian is a singer and songwriter from New York whose latest record Clams Casino was one of my favorites of 2025 and remains a constant companion. Rolling Stone called Clams Casino "an indie-rock, Paul Simon-evoking gem of a record." Yep. That's about right.

Brian is an insightful guy and one hell of a songwriter. This conversation covers a lot of ground and I am so grateful to bring it to you.

At the core of those experiences are Rusty Ingley and Reid Hardman, two men who share a passion for community and great music. This chat was such a pleasure, y'all.
