Take This Pod and Shove It

This week we're joined by comedian Max Fine (In the Minivan Podcast) to discuss the incredible songwriting and impeccable aesthetics of the late great Justin Townes Earle. Narrowing down which song from Earle's diverse catalog to add to our ongoing playlist was tough, but we settled on one of his earliest songs, the bouncy, minimalist country ditty "I Don't Care" from his debut EP Yuma. We also discuss Justin's famous father Steve Earle, his relationship with Jason Isbell, and how we all did on various standardized tests.

Bob Dylan has always been a fan of country music, and even though he only intentionally wrote and recorded country music a few times in his career, his impact on the genre is massive and goes back to his earliest days as a young folk prodigy. This week Danny and Tyler take a look at one particular Dylan song that has been covered by country artists so many times it is basically a country standard: "Don't Think Twice It's All Right."
Listen to hear us rank our favorite covers of the classic tune; and to hear the controversial backstory behind the song's writing credits.
