The Icons of Outlaw Country Show 049

Crank up the volume y’all, ’cause John Wesley Karson’s about to take you on a two-hour outlaw bender through the wild west of music! Dive deep into the stories and sounds of the renegades, the rebels, the rule-breakers who defied Nashville’s pearly gates and forged their own sonic path.

This ain’t your grandma’s country show – “The Icons of Outlaw Country” celebrates the bold individualism of the artists who dared to be different, who rocked the boat and left their mark on the landscape of music. So buckle up, light up some herb (if that’s your thing), and prepare to get down and dirty with the outlaws.

This ain’t just a radio show, it’s a sonic revolution!
