Welcome to Figures From the Backroom, a series from me, Jonny Brick, founder of A Country Way of Life, a site where I have been evangelizing about country music in all its forms since 2017.
As well as giving brief biographies, I’ll try and provide songs you can listen to in order to appreciate how great they are or, sadly in many cases, were.
This is where you can find previous episodes dating back to episode 1.
