This week Dan and Reid Isbell host music row legend Luke Laird out in God’s Country. Luke shares an epic story of driving to write with Eric Church and having to stop on the way to buy a new truck so he’d make it to the write. Luckily for him, the song they wrote on that trip ended up being a Grammy-nominated track. The guys discuss where Luke’s love for hunting with a recurve bow comes from and how another music row legend, Rhett Atkins, is his go-to for helping him track deer. Luke has over 20 No. 1 songs and is definitely the man behind several songs you know and love.

Each episode explores how today’s biggest and most talented country stars and songwriters pull inspiration from rugged, first-hand relationships with the natural world. Nashville songwriters by profession who spent their childhoods getting muddy in the wilds of Tennessee, Dan and Reid draw on their own passion for hunting and fishing to lead a thought-provoking and fun exploration of the fundamental role of outdoor living in country music.
