Ep. 64: Country Girls Vol. 2 w/Caroline Gnagy, Kevin Fontenot, and Texas Overture
In the second installment of this two-part episode special, we set about the path of high cotton heaven, tracing the waves of country influence upon the modern. We discuss Bella Hadid’s rough-handed cow-beau, Gram Parson’s trustafarian tragedy, the poetics of agricultural science, Lucchesse’s Sufjan Stephens moment, and more! Plus: we expand our red-dirt horizons with the help of two world-renowned country music experts, Kevin Fontenot and Caroline Gnangy, wrapping up the episode with a special dispatch from the Texas Overture HQ.
