About this listen

Nanci Griffith tries to make folk-a-billy happen and Elliott Smith backs up Madonna, literally.

This time, we ponder three albums from 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, Griffith's The Last of the True Believers and two by Smith, Either/Or and Figure 8.

We also dive into Texans' profound love of all things Texan, learn about the Great Credibility Scare and why it meant payday for some oddball country artists, ponder the limits of empathy and cognitive load and try to pick a sad boy Mount Rushmore.

Our logo is by Kelsey Byers. Our theme song is "Stuff that Sounds like This" by Women's Basketball, used courtesy of Brian LaRue, and you can now listen to Women's Basketball on all the major streaming platforms.
