Midland's Moment + Taylor and the Chicks
This week, Grady is lamenting Brad Paisley being out as host of the CMA Awards, talking about the Dixie Chicks' appearance on Taylor Swift's album, and the arrival of Midland's sophomore album. It's a short one, but sweet too.

Grady is talking about Tyler Childers having the #1 album in all of country music, Blake Shelton's awful new song "Hell Right,' and breaking down why it's so fun to be a country fan right now. Plus, new music from Morgan Wallen, Midland, Jon Pardi, Miranda Lambert, and even Taylor Swift.
