The Icons of Outlaw Country Show #018

Each week John Wesley Karson shares the music and the stories of the icons of alternative country. He takes his listeners on a two hour sonic journey into what’s been dubbed “Outlaw Country.”

The Icons of Outlaw Country is a celebration of the bold individualism of a select few artists who dared to give Nashville the finger and do it their own way.
