Episode 170
Aaron highlights a Tennessee musician who was once a featured contestant on American Idol while Brent circles back to the outlaw country genre to spotlight a singer who had his fair share of run-ins with the law.
Controversially eliminated from the 2008 edition of Idol under his real name, Aaron picks out three songs from Josiah Leming’s latest project, Josiah and the Bonnevilles.
Born Donald Eugene Lytle before legally renaming himself after a Chicago prize fighter, Brent looks at three songs from Johnny PayCheck.
