The final regular programme of the year reflects on key musical moments while previewing what’s ahead in 2025. Post Malone and Blake Shelton’s collaboration Pour Me a Drink sets the tone for a varied lineup of new releases and notable tours, including the debut single Hold Everything from Mary Chapin Carpenter, Julie Fowlis, and Karine Polwart, and the Brothers Osborne’s Break Mine EP. The programme revisits milestones in country music history, from Randy Travis’ Grand Ole Opry induction to Jeannie C. Riley’s gold records. This week’s Album of the Week is The Lost Nashville Recordings by George Jones, a collection of rare 1970s performances given new life with updated instrumentation.
