Gary Allan and Cody Johnson might not have been raised by famous parents, but they each got their start playing in honkytonks with their fathers at an early age.  They also share a fierce independence streak, writing and producing most of their own music.  In this episode, we've matched an established country music star with a bonafide up-and-comer. Subscribe and download on your favorite podcast platform: Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Tune In, Stitcher. Gary and Cody share wonderful tales of breaking into the business, trying to get established, getting crushed and starting all over again.  The two sing excerpts of their biggest hits almost outdoing one another at every turn. Robert K. Oermann hosts this singer/songwriter edition as part of our Nashville Sessions, with the producer, Brad Newman by his side.  This is a fun-filled episode with great music; one that shouldn't be missed!
