Singer songwriter Ben Earle is offering Country fans a fresh take on the lives and careers of their favourite artists.
Country music has always been closely tied to the land from which it sprung, and as a result many of the best Country songs tell us stories with a strong sense of place; be it Dolly’s Mountain Home in Tennessee, Tim McGraw’s Nashville, or Cam’s Redwood Tree in California.

This is by a mile the best country music podcast I’ve come across. I’ve learnt so much about some of my favourite artists and artists new to me from Ben’s thoughtful and knowledgeable interviews. Really hope there’s more to come.
I was drawn to listen to Kezia and Tenille Townes interviews first but they were so good I’ve listened to every episode now. Ideal gym listening for a fellow country artist. Ben is a seriously professional and likeable host and is fantastic at gelling with the artist. Now a firm favourite podcast listen!
Fab show for country fans around the world!
Listen to this great Podcast while I’m gardening. Ben is such a natural host and makes his guests feel so welcome and at home.
Great easy listening show. I like the quickfire questions at the end too. Love the links to lyrics and why songs are written.
