Michial Farmer moderates a conversation with Danny Anderson and Nathan Gilmour on the roots, the heart, and the history of country music. Along the way familiar figures like the Carter family, Waylon Jennings, and even Taylor Swift show up, and the question of genre in popular music is never far away. Among the singers and other realities discussed are the early mixtures of country with blues and folk music; the rise of outlaw country and the question fo what "real" county music might be; George Jones, Garth Brooks, Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and a good sampling of other country artists.
