Summary
In 1996, Ween shocked fans by releasing Twelve Golden Country Greats, a country album produced by Ben Vaughn at Nashvilles Bradleys Barn. Vaughn, a Nashville veteran, assembled a team of session players, including Pig Robbins, Charlie McCoy, and Buddy Harman. Despite initial backlash from fans and purists due to the bands edgy lyrics and DIY approach, the project became a fan favorite, influencing Weens later experiments with pedal steel and surprises. Vaughn still considers it a timeless piece in their shape-shifting catalog. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
