Boots and Saddle Show

Made this week’s episode a few nights ahead of broadcast from the Timbers Motel in Bigfork, Montana. Some tough and very personal moments this week and I’ll thank you in advance for hanging in there with me. Episode 062 debuts Tuesday, July 22 which would have been my Dad’s 68th birthday so I spend a decent chunk of time unpacking that and spin a couple he sang + a handful of his favourites. I hop...

Bit of a different one this week but the quality doesn't suffer, I can promise you that. A whole bunch of 2025 releases, some beautiful country music by beautiful country music singers + I wrap up my Alberta run of shows from earlier this month and that trip influenced some of the selections this week. - - - BOOTS & SADDLE (2.0) | Episode 061 INTRO & THEME: The Boots & Saddle Jingl...

As we find ourselves in the full swing of the slamming summer season, today’s program is another theme episode highlighting a theme central to country music: the drinking song.
