The Icons of Outlaw Country #114

Pull on your boots and pour yourself a strong shot of whiskey - because we're about to take a wild ride through the gritty, rebellious world of outlaw country music.

Our fearless host, John Wesley Karson, will guide you through a journey of raw and unapologetic sounds that shaped this extraordinary genre.

This is not your average mainstream country - we only play the good stuff, with no pop-country allowed. Let's raise a glass to the daring trailblazers and their uninhibited creativity that paved the way for outlaw country and left a lasting mark on music history.
