The Real Americana with Louise & Blair

Louise and Blair dive into the fearless world of Sturgill Simpson- modern outlaw, sonic shape-shifter, and spiritual seeker. Drawing a line back to Waylon Jennings (they spin "Luckenbach, Texas"), they explore tradition and rebellion. Featuring "Turtles All the Way Down", "Breakers Roar" and more, they reflect on Grammys, acclaim, shifting sounds, and why it’s sometimes hard for audiences to keep up. Tune in and see what you think! 🎙️🎸
