Season 2 is finally here!  In Episode 1 I discuss the history behind the Outlaw Country classic "Pancho and Lefty" and what the lyrics say to me personally.  Join me as I take you on an interesting journey from the Wild West desert to a cold lonely hotel in Ohio......

A Holiday episode discussing Robert Earl Keen's Christmas Classic (at least to me) and the memories it conjures up of holidays past.  Take a seat and have a listen.

This episode features the story of not one song, but the creation of a character that brought an ad executive in his late 40's out of his office and into the recording studio, where he and his band would go gold in 1976. Listen for the whole story, it's quite a tale!

In this episode I discuss the story behind Jerry Reed's "East Bound and Down" as well as some of the history behind the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" and why they are both so important to me.

In this episode, I examine one of my lifelong favorites. Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is by far one of his most famous songs, and has forever immortalized the "Fitz", her men, and the day she was lost. So, in honor of them and the anniversary of the tragedy please listen and enjoy Episode 3!

On episode of LTL I discuss the history behind Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee" as well as tell some road stories as they relate to the lyrics of this classic piece of Americana.

This episode focuses on Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's version of "The Stories We Could Tell" from their "Pack Up the Plantation, Live" Album. I discuss the history of the song and what some of the most meaningful lyrics are to me.
