God’s Country hosts Dan and Reid Isbell caught up with iHeartRadio’s Bobby Bones on the latest episode of their podcast.
Throughout the conversation, the Bobby Bones Show host caught up with the brother duo about growing up in Arkansas, the state of country music and what’s next for the genre moving forward. In particular, the trio “touch on the hot topic conversation” of Beyoncé, Post Malone and other artists releasing highly-anticipated country albums (Cowboy Carter and F-1 Trillion, respectively).
“Right off the bat the guys dive in on the drone problem Bobby has been facing with them surveilling his house and how he has been researching legal ways to handle it. They touch on counterstrikes, legal repercussions, and what Bobby's next move is to deal with this ongoing issue. Bobby shares his outdoor experiences as a young kid growing up underprivileged in Arkansas and even dials in his former stepdad, Arkansas Keith, to join in on the conversation. They touch on the hot topic conversation of Beyonce and Post Malone joining the world of Country Music and Bobby shares where he thinks the future of Country Music is headed. The episode ends with a ‘raging’ singalong that is not a typical ‘Gravorite’ jam session.”
Dan and Reid — who have written music for Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Scotty McCreery, Jon Pardi, Lainey Wilson and others — started their weekly podcast in early January 2024. Some of the first guests to appear on the show include HARDY, Dustin Lynch, Colbie Caillat and others.
“One of our favorite things about country music has always been how intertwined it is with the outdoors,” Dan and Reid Isbell said in a statement when God’s Country launched. They hope to “bring the outdoor enthusiast or country music lover an up close and personal look into the minds of some of the best songwriters and artists of the genre — a place where they can be honest about struggles, relationships, their connection to the outdoors, the music business, family, whatever they feel comfortable talking about. We can’t wait to see where this partnership will lead and who this podcast will reach.”
