Episode 43: Getting to Know Veronique Medrano

The Country Brothers are joined by Veronique Medrano, a masterful TexMex Country and Tejano artist. This episode is your chance to get to know the artist behind the music. (and oh boy, this is a classic Country Brothers episode.)


The trio go deep into their favorite anime, Medrano’s work as a preservationist and fighting to get Freddy Fender the recognition he deserves, the stylistic roots behind her music, why she was crying in the middle of an H-E-B after listening to the pod, and why Lila Downs is dope.


And of course, you know they had to talk about the Drake and Kendrick beef. (Spoiler: Kendrick washed Drake).

They also chat about why Dom hates talking to strangers, 90s basketball, Bill Simmons giving off weird vibes with Ryen Russillo, and learning that Bad Bunny is actually a big deal.

Episode 32: Chattin' with Pepper Darling

You know it’s a good one when the episode just starts mid-conversation. The Country Brothers got a good one for ya’ll this week. We’re welcoming on Pepper Darling (@wholesomesleaze) to chat about all kinds of topics from Arkansas country music, what she been listening to recently, and again trying to answer the age-old question: Where does the punk rock to folk/country pipeline come from?


Then we round out the show by getting all three’s dream concert, and Pepper’s ended up being one hell of an eclectic lineup.

Episode 30: Black History Month Has Arrived

The Country Brothers offseason is over. We’ve managed to keep the roster together with no major trades. We’re just looking to run things back and go for the title! The brothers talk about their summer of watching The Five Heartbeats every day and Dom goes in on the widely panned Hardy performance at this year’s Royal Rumble (editor’s note: AEW would never make us listen to Hardy.)


Then they give their thoughts on the new Margo Price album. Since It’s the first day of Black History Month, Duwaun answers the age-old question “who’s your top 5 rappers.”

Editors note: Dom didn't find me the lyric from Folklore that made him turn the album off. So just imagine I put in the whole album because really, it could have been any lyric.

Duwaun made a trek out to chat with the homie Jon Watkins! The two met while working at the same spot and found a shared love for music. This is the classic Country Brothers banter you’ve come to expect with all the tangents, Twin Peaks love, and 90s nu-metal references.

He first plays Good As Gold by Sarah Shook & the Disarmers then an acoustic rendition of St. Anger by Metallica to close the show!
