State to state by way of songs with states in the title. Gimmicky, sure, but it’ll be worth your while. So come on …

Country folks doing pop songs. Pop folks doing country songs. Come on along … let’s go dancin’ in the light before it gets too dark.

Well, you can’t really have country songs (or county-like songs) without a fair amount of impending doom, so here’s a bunch of brilliant songs by women.

Why are there so many (country) songs about Jesus, and whether or not He’d be our Buddy? In this episode, Missionary Ridge Radio covers a lot of theological ground, from Jesus The Capricorn to Jesus The Placekicker to The Jesus Who Lives In My Television. On either side of this devotional block, we listen to Waylon, Buddy Holly, The Drive-By Truckers, Gregg Allman and even The Boss himself.
