“When I was a kid in the 70's, I lived in a little town outside of Charleston, SC called Ridgeville. It was called that because it was on a ridge between two swamps, and it's still the location of the best barbecue place in South Carolina (Duke's). Between my east Tennessee grandmother and my Maryland Eastern Shore dad, I grew up hearing a lot of country, gospel, and early rock & roll music. We listened to the radio. We watched Hee Haw. We watched Austin City Limits. We went to camp meetings. We sang hymns unaccompanied from worn out copies of "Songs of Worship and Remembrance." We played my grandmother's record collection--the Carter family, Bob Wills, Marty Stuart, Jimmy Dickens, Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, the Oak Ridge Boys, Elvis, Floyd Cramer. We played my dad's records--the Statler Brothers, the Ventures, Johnny Cash, Alabama, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Chubby Checker, Roy Clark, and Buck Owens.
Tyler Mahan Coe's "Cocaine and Rhinestones" is like taking that kind of experience, distilling it through his own deep personal knowledge of country music, and then amplifying it with diligent research in order to tell stories of the people behind the soundtrack of my life and, presumably, yours. He's a good writer and a good presenter and getting better all the time. He's working with some of the richest material that exists for this kind of storytelling, and I look forward to many more seasons of C&R. It's my new favorite podcast by a long, long margin.”
