“God’s Country” with brothers Dan and Reid Isbell is a rollicking weekly podcast that sits at the intersection of country music and the great outdoors. Each episode explores how today’s biggest and most talented country stars and songwriters pull inspiration from rugged, first-hand relationships with the natural world. Nashville songwriters by profession who spent their childhoods getting muddy in the wilds of Tennessee, Dan and Reid draw on their own passion for hunting and fishing to lead a thought-provoking and fun exploration of the fundamental role of outdoor living in country music.
This week Reid and Dan host multi-hit songwriter and co-host of the "Try That in a Small Town" podcast, Neil Thrasher, out in God's Country. Neil claims anyone who is good at music, should be good at golf too. This claim had the brothers floored, but soon had them believers. From there they dive in on hunting in the south, recapping 2024 deer season, and Neil recaps his favorite Tennessee Turkey story that he loves to tell anyone who will listen. Reid and Dan discuss the highs and lows of songwriting with Neil and he shares where the smash song "Try That in a Small Town” came from. The episode ends with an ICONIC Gravorite that the studio is still buzzing over.
