    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.

    The Oh Riley Factor

    Grady processes an interview that never actually happened, which somehow resulted in him seeing Brad Paisley live over the weekend. Plus, he covers new music by Kip Moore, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, and the ever-wayward Zac Brown.
