For those that missed the Hank III interviews with Outlaw Radio Chicago and Big G of the Real Deal, they are now both archived, HERE and HERE. But for those who are unable or willing to listen to the full interviews, below you will find a summation of the meatier nuggets: From Outlaw Radio: Jashie [...]
When I wrote my review of Hellbound Glory’s new album Old Highs and New Lows I forgot to mention the other great players on the album besides the frontman Leroy Virgil, especially the drummer “Chico,” whose the other member of the band that has been there since the beginning. But as their recent album gets [...]
When I saw Roger Alan Wade a few weeks back at the musINK Festival in Dallas, afterward we headed over to a burger joint to talk about his cousin Johnny Knoxville, Outlaw music, Roger getting clean and sober among other things. The 9513 published a transcript of parts of that conversation that you can read [...]

It can be heard on scrubradio.com live, and if you miss it, the episode will be posted right here at savingcountrymusic.com/outlaw-radio. [...]
In the last year or two, many new artists and bands have sprung up in the Outlaw/ Underground country movement, many new fans, podcasts, etc. But this all would not be possible if it wasn’t for the hard work of a few musicians, the trunk of the tree from which these new branches have sprung [...]
Well there is some good news and some bad news in regards to the Outlaw Radio Chicago podcast. Bad news first: The network that it was broadcasting on live every Tuesday has apparently gone belly up. The good news is you can still listen to every episode at savingcountrymusic.com/outlaw-radio, and I will begin posting the [...]
In a couple of recent interviews, one on Episode 66 of Outlaw Radio and another posted recently on YouTube (see below) Hank Williams III seems almost to be discounting his new upcoming album, The Rebel Within before it even comes out. He mentions that it is a good album, but he also goes out of [...]
On Oct. 20th, Hank III granted a rare interview with Outlaw Radio Chicago and let slide quite a few tidbits of interesting information, including that he wants to tour Canada and Japan again soon, and he talked at length about his upcoming album, which we now know is going to be entitled The Rebel Within, [...]
TONIGHT (10-20-09) none other than Hank Williams III will be on Outlaw Radio Chicago, having granted Jashie P. an ever increasingly rare interview. You can hear it LIVE on punkandbeansradio.com at 9 PM CENTRAL, and because a Hank III interview has been known to crash servers from demand, they are going to rebroadcast the entire [...]
If I had to pick one stand out performer out of the dozen plus acts I saw at Pickathon outside of Portland last weekend, it would be Justin Townes Earle. I was lucky enough to be able to see him three different times, and after his first show we sat down for a quick interview. [...]
If you do not know who James Hunnicutt is, then you need to take care of that. This is one of the premier guitar pickers out there, and a good singer/songwriter in his own right. You might remember talking about him in my review of the Wayne Hancock show last week. He is out on [...]
A couple of weeks ago I got to see the .357 String Band live, and I also got to spend a good amount of time hanging out with them before and after the show. I was hoping to do a more formal interview, but long story short, it wasn’t in the cards. We did get [...]
With his new album release, Viper of Melody, Wayne “The Train” Hancock has been all over the place like a bad rash. This is a good thing, because Viper of Melody might be Wayne’s best work to date, and with 15+ years of recording and touring, he’s due for some more exposure. There’s a great [...]
