Welcome to The Icons of Outlaw Country radio show with your host, John Wesley Karson (that’s Karson with a K).
We pay tribute to the Founding Fathers of outlaw country like Merle Haggard, Charlie Daniels, Jerry Jeff Walker, & Waylon Jennings of course, but we also showcase those Young Guns like Hayes Carll who’s out there today, carryin’ on the legacy and keeping the tradition of independence and individuality alive with song’s like Bad Liver And A Broken Heart.
So y’all sit back, relax, and enjoy the best damn music you’ve ever heard on, The Icons of Outlaw Country. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to follow along with our playlist.
