A conversation with American singer-songwriter Willie Watson, former member of Old Crow Medicine Show. New and classic country and Americana, including 2025 Grammy Award winners.

Two hours of country and Americana music, including some of the winners of the 2025 Grammy Awards. Plus an interview with American singer-songwriter Willie Watson. He was once a member of Virginian string band Old Crow Medicine Show before leaving to begin a solo career and record two albums of traditional folk songs. At the age of 45, he's just released his first collection of original material.

In an honest conversation with Ricky Ross, Willie opens up about the pressures of writing his own songs, his struggles with the creativity process in a digital age and the anxiety he experiences caused by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
