Nope Country Episode 8: What Makes an Artist Real Country?

Patrick Michels and Andrea Grimes Episode 8

With help from our listeners, and with questionable success, we try to answer the most bedeviling question in country music: What makes an artist real country?

Artists discussed in this episode include: Kenny Chesney, Dolly Parton, Keith Urban, Eric Church, Hank Williams, plus a brief reference — "mamas, trains, trucks and prison" — to David Allan Coe's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name."
