This week’s programme opens with a focus on Luke Combs’ new album Fathers and Sons, which is the Album of the Week. Ben examines its themes of fatherhood and generational storytelling, featuring tracks such as Little Country Boys and My Old Man Was Right, while also noting its stylistic links to classic country and Ed Sheeran’s songwriting approach. The show also includes a look at the Petty Country tribute album, featuring contributions from Midland and The Cadillac Three, as well as music from Cody Johnson, Reba McEntire, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Patty Loveless, and Eric Church. “This Week in Country Music History” revisits George Jones’ 1980 number-one hit He Stopped Loving Her Today, and the episode concludes with a preview of Johnny Cash’s forthcoming posthumous album Songwriter, including a first play of Hello Out There.
