#10 - Podcast update, Dolly Parton, Plans, Projects, The Polly Dartons

mercredi 26 août 2026 • Durée 26:47

A long overdue update. After a little time away from the podcast, we’re finally back to share what’s been happening behind the scenes: Kikki’s departure, new life plans, and the exciting new direction we’re taking with the podcast.

Sadly, Dolly Parton passed away one day before this episode was recorded. But whose words could be better to tie it all together than hers? Through her music, her life, and the way she has navigated change, reinvention, and staying true to yourself, she has left us with more than just great songs. She’s given us some pretty valuable lessons about knowing when to let go, how to persevere, and how to find your own path.

So tune in for a very personal catch-up and a small tribute to the amazing Dolly Parton.

- We will always love you, Dolly.

#09 - The Chicks - Part 2: 1995 - present

jeudi 15 janvier 2026 • Durée 01:35:40

Say what you want, but the Chicks have ended up raising an entire generation of women who got into country music. The premise was clear: sing, have fun, don't be afraid to be a little rebellious and never take yourself too seriously. Join Carol and her dear guest Dee Ann in a two-parter episode that celebrates The Chicks’ legacy as musicians who challenged expectations, spoke their truth, and came back stronger than ever.

In the first part of this story, we dive into their roots in Dallas, TX as an up-and-coming Bluegrass and Western Swing act formed by sisters Martie McGuire & Emily Strayer (née Erwin) teamed up with Robin Macy and Laura Lynch (in memoriam).

In part two, we start off just before Natalie Maines joined the trio; a moment about to change their story forever. We break down the albums, the backlash that changed music history and their triumphant return.

Whether you danced the two-step to a live performance of "West Texas Wind" back in the good ol' days, have followed them since “Wide Open Spaces”, or discovered them through "Gaslighter", this episode is for you and is nothing but an ode to a band that refuses to be anything but fearless.

DISCLAIMER: At certain points in this series, we do refer to the band using their old name, "Dixie Chicks", mainly for clarity while discussing the early phase of the group. We do however fully support the band's decision to drop the word "Dixie" from its name.

#08 - Purdy Little Interview: Courtney Hartman

jeudi 18 décembre 2025 • Durée 46:21

In this interview, Carol sits down with Courtney Hartman, one of the most gifted female guitarists in the folk and bluegrass world. Courtney is a flatpicker at heart, lining her melodies with graceful vocals of thoughtfully written words.

She speaks of life in seasons; and how growth, stillness and change shape both her personal journey and her relationship with music. On this episode, she shares deep insight into how she experiences music in an inspiring look at what it means to live a musical life with intention.

Throughout this conversation, we discuss her formative years, old and new albums, collaborations with some of the biggest names in folk and bluegrass, creative freedom and inspiring figures.

This episode is an invitation to listen closely: to the strings, the stories, and the seasons in between.

#03 - I'm With Her

jeudi 17 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:23:45

This time, we didn’t pick just one woman to talk about - we chose three: the incredible trio of Sara Watkins, Aoife O’Donovan, and Sarah Jarosz. Still dumbfounded after their concert in Amsterdam, we knew it would be nothing short of perfect to invite our friend Julia Zech, a.k.a. Lightening Jules from the band Stereo Naked, to join us for this episode.

We could talk for hours and hours about their prolific solo careers (and we just might, someday!), but for this episode, we focused entirely on the story of their band. I'm With Her was formed about a decade ago based on friendship and mutual admiration and has become this powerful unit; a three-headed creature, as they say themselves. This band has moved and inspired us and we're happy to share our thoughts and impressions with you.

#02 - Hazel Dickens

jeudi 19 juin 2025 • Durée 01:39:02

Hazel was there - before it was even called bluegrass. By fronting a folk/bluegrass band with the great Alice Gerrard in a way that was true to her pure nature and roots, she created representativity for women to act as protagonists when putting their music out there. Her passion for singing and songwriting not only shaped and kept American folk music alive, but inspired several other musicians like Emmylou Harris, Laurie Lewis, Lynn Morris, two generations of the Judds and many many more women. And countless men as well.

It is with immense respect and love that we pay homage to her and her music by highlighting her incredible life on this episode. So tune in to find out more about her life, her significant contribution to folk and bluegrass music, her dedication to social activism, and the legacy she left us.

jeudi 15 mai 2025 • Durée 01:03:47

One could say 2025 has been her year. We love her songs, her story and the way she's impressively making her way up in the Folk & Americana scene and beyond. In this episode, we'll talk about her roots, her experiences, her struggles, her music, her accomplishments and how she inspires us to be free and creative as artists and humans.
