164: The Local Honeys

On Episode 164, I'm joined by Linda Jean Stokley and Montana Hobbs of The Local Honeys. Earlier this month, the Kentucky old-time duo released a pair of new songs--"Dying to Make a Living" and "Octavia Triangle"--that are drenched in history and lore while maintaining a level of relevancy for these modern times. There's a timelessness that resonates throughout the tragic, heartbreaking stories. During this interview, we talk about the stories behind the songs, why they're drawn to those songs, the cultural exchange of traditional songs, and what's to come for the two songwriters going forward album-wise.

This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by The Blue Light Live and Hot Damn Coffee.
