Rolling Stone Nashville Now

Grammy-winning songwriter Ashley McBryde joins us on Nashville Now to talk about her new album Wild, a project that dives deep into her family lineage and her desire to be “fully seen.” The Arkansas native also shares her journey to sobriety and what the word “redemption” means to her — it’s not only the name of her mocktail-forward bar on Nashville’s Lower Broadway. McBryde also has a gift for a Scottish accent, and once she starts it up, she can’t stop. Join us on the podcast for a conversation that gets to the human side of one of Nashville’s most important songwriters.

Aaron Raitiere has been compared to legends from John Prine to Shel Silverstein for his eccentric, anything-goes approach to songwriting. But the Kentucky native also knows his way around writing a hit: Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, and Lady Gaga have all covered his songs. In this rambunctious, irreverent conversation in the Nashville Now cabin, Raitiere lets us into his songwriting process and also shares some behind-the-scenes tales of his friendship with the late Bob Weir and the lost project they were working on before the Grateful Dead icon’s death.
