They discuss country music's changing looks and sounds, and the genre's deep connection with hip hop.

Here's the mark of a great Talkhouse Podcast pairing: For this week's show, we introduced legendary producer Diplo (Major Lazer) and rising country star Charley Crockett, and by the end of the talk, the two had decided to work together!
