Excellent all around. Best podcast I’ve ever heard on our classic country music & ⭐️ stars! Keep up the great work. 😊👍

Seriously. Of ANY genre. Coe spills the Tea. All over those nice white doilies of “official” Country Music History. This is ESSENTIAL listening for history buffs, of music, or of American culture. Whatever that means to you.

Amused by the negative reviews. Maybe this is a podcast for people not really into podcasts, because I am not into podcasts but listen to all these episodes over and over again. I tell anyone who will listen to me to listen to this. Pardon my digression, but my favorite philosophy professor...Read full review »

I’m a big fan of REAL country music. The behind the scenes takes are funny and disturbing. Coes story telling is great and mysterious enough to keep you thinking about the real story.
Erikmustride via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/24
Listen to this series! If you have any interest in music -- country or not -- you will see all the connections between rock, country, blues et al. Well done! Thank you for your dedication to telling these stories. ❤️

Please come back with more phenomenal history on our country music artists!! You are a wonderful and thorough host!
Laffcat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/24
Wow, both seasons were phenomenal. I learned so much about the music and the country singers that I grew up listening to. I can’t wait for season three.

Thank you Tyler
Looploopdave via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
I wasn’t sure after the first episode but I always give podcasts 3-4 episodes to find their feet. This one found its feet by the middle of its second episode. Host seems super invested in the stories and he’s more relaxed than the first episode. Plus, this stuff is interesting! Looking forward To...Read full review »

It is with great sadness, but the wait for the second series was not worth it. And I fear it’s just going to go downhill from here. I hope Tyler gets some help because I think he needs to be extracted at times from his research and just start producing content. Hopefully this doesn’t come off as...Read full review »

Cocaine and Rhinestones is a labor of love for the Host, Tyler Mayan Coe, and one can tell by the painstaking research and anecdotes he provides for key things in the history of country music. Eminently listenable for walks and jogs, long drives, or any other activities. Afterwards listening, the...Read full review »

I just found this podcast and I really love it. Tyler I think you are very emotionally intelligent in your story telling. I’m on season one and I love to hear you grow as you go. Thank you.
HoneyLyon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/23
C’mon Tyler we all chomping at the bit! I sure hope you’re recording multiple seasons and just a waiting to release them all. 2 years in between does not inspire patrion

Fantastic work here. About 3/4 of the way into my second run-through, pretty much back-to-back, and there’s enough material to warrant several more repeat sessions. Keep it up Tyler
Wilbur the heron via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 11/14/23
Only wish I had found it sooner. I love the deep story, and I’m excited to see how the host settles into the narration, because I really like the after comments. I thought I knew a lot about the history of county music and these stories are so deep. I can’t wait to hear more.
Zapswifesarah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/23
We’ve only listened to a few, but love this show! Wish we discovered it sooner!
ErikaGerety via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
This podcast is a superb look not just at the music and the artists but at the social history of the times in which the music was made. That might sound like it could be dry but Tyler Coe makes it all come alive with his commentary. Highly recommended. He combines deep knowledge of the music with...Read full review »

Hey Tyler big fan of the show and man do I miss it as do many others! There’s a ton of stories I’d like to see you cover! I know it ain’t cheap to do but I bet myself and your other loyal listeners could help out with some donations. Thanks buddy! From a real country fan fa
George strait is the king via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/23
Fantastic historical review of country music performers. Tyler must put in a lot of work for these stories. I appreciate his work and zeal for country music history. Well done
Texian 1836 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/23
These episode intros can really feel indulgent and tangential. Similarly, the treatment of Wynette is problematic at times as it makes Jones look great and her look like a deranged liar. Otherwise, it’s good and well researched. He can just be very absolutist and strident in how he creates...Read full review »

JackieH69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/23
This podcast is amazing. Coe covers so much ground and does it effortlessly. You can tell he has done his research and is passionate about the subject. Don’t miss it!
Beach🌴Bum79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/23
Forget country music, if you just enjoy popular music and well researched history about it, then you need this podcast in your life. Mr Coe knows the stories behind the music and often he has first hand knowledge of many of the personalities who created it. Cocaine and Rhinestones is engaging,...Read full review »
PD Puddin Pork via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/23
Claims to be a podcast on the history of country music, but almost every episode includes 20 minutes of rambling on a random subject. What is up with that? I would consider paying money if I didn’t have that crap in the front.
youtubesmd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/23
TMC you bring a precious time in music history back to life, telling how it was for some mightily troubled souls yet never disrespecting them.
random forces via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 07/23/23
This podcast is outstanding. One of the best out there….and that’s coming from someone who has helped produce the best podcast in the universe….. You don’t have to be a fan of country music to get hooked on this one. It’s not my first choice either, that said….. This is my second time through...Read full review »

I am really a country music fan yet I love this podcast. Well done!

Awesome history of country music!

U2 is easily the greatest band of all time.
Gormonu2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
I never enjoyed Country until I listened to this podcast. Great work indeed. I even wrote about No Show Jones in my sci-fi novel: When the Cows Come Home, (available on Amazon) and I didn’t realize the awesomeness of George at the time. These stories improved my life. Thanks.
Thefatherphil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
I wish it was more precise and protracted. Engineered. The ad-libbing makes me wonder if more ruthless justice were possible with more planning. A meaner world is possible. These bands are my enemies, and my enemies must be destroyed. Five stars.
Jebulon Pike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
This is the first podcast that I’ve ever listened too. So much fun to learn more about the legends that I have been listening to for years. Highly recommended.
jinkywells via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
So well researched. Such a good grip on story. Amazing work. Thank you Sir.
Jeebus2000 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/23/23
As far as I’m concerned, this is the gold standard of what podcasting is. It has changed my life, and its existence has truthfully made the world a better place. Nothing really more to be said.
The Mesomorphic Minotaur via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/23
This has slowly become my favorite podcast. I have to admit that I didn’t really like Tyler’s voice at the start, but the substance was so interesting I kept listening. After two seasons, I like Tyler’s voice a lot. And I don’t know what in the world that other review is talking about “angry...Read full review »

The content is outstanding and well-researched but the robot style presenting is unbearable.
Nomi1367890 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/23
Really good and informative podcast. Unfortunately the host is a angry jack-weasel that prefers to belittle people using his FB page. Maybe his Dad didn’t love him enough as a child? Be better, man.
Darthvedder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/23
Once I started listening to this, It’s been difficult to function in my everyday life as I want to drop everything and listen to the next episode. Even if you aren’t a fan of country music, the stories told here are still extremely interesting and entertaining. And if you are a fan of country...Read full review »

BEST PODCAST
ali8991 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/23
Has "Cocaine And Rhinestones" come to an end? Not a single new episode since 02/22. Have we come to the end of the podcast? Hope not. I'm "Jonesing here"... I need another fix...pronto!!Read full review »
Norwich917! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/23
Clearly the amount of passion and work that goes into this is exceptional. Most podcasts (like most examples of any medium) just aren’t that much to write home about. This one is fantastic. It doesn’t matter if you like every band or artist covered (I don’t). It probably doesn’t even matter if...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast and … just, wow! I’m not a fan of country music these days, but I love the oldies. The stories of those old days in this podcast are so interesting and entertaining. And I love the Tyler! I’m so impressed with this podcast!
2mnypetz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/23
This is terrific series. Very well done.
Frank Benard 7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/23
All my other podcasts have certainly taken a backseat to this well researched and well written work. I sure hope there are more episodes in the works!
just a dude with half s brain via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/23
One word seems so simple but……GREAT! This is one of the most thorough and best researched docs on the pop culture icon we call “Country Music”
Marty Hays via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
Really well presented. Check it out

They have the titles about George & Tammy but there are some other stories playing about nobles and the rich.

If you have an interest in 20th century American music at all this is an absolute must listen.
