Cocaine & Rhinestones is a one-man history of country music that's attracting new fans to this often mocked and neglected musical genre. Host Tyler Mahan Coe comes from a well-known country music family, was working as a professional musician in his dad's band, but then left and hadn't quite found his niche. But he loves country music, couldn't find any good country podcasts to listen to, so decided he was going to make one himself. We speak to Tyler about his story, and play a clip from the fourth episode of Cocaine & Rhinestones called 'Bobbie Gentry: Exit Stage Left' which tells the story of Bobbie Gentry and her 1967 track 'Ode to Billie Joe'.
