It’s time once again to crank up your ragged old truck and drive into Outlaw Country territory for a two hour sonic extravaganza of three chord twang and a double shot of truth. Join John Wesley Karson as he brings you the very best in country music for people who hate country music. None of the pop glitz or glamor of Nashville, just the real red dirt honesty of the greatest American art-form ever.
Sit back with your favorite adult beverage, or spark up a bit of the devil’s lettuce and enjoy artists like, Kris Kristofferson, Robert Earl Keen, Billy Joe Shaver and of course David Allan Coe & Waylon Jennings to name just a few.
Give us two hours and you’ll thank us and come back for more, Outlaw Country is addictive.
