## Resource

Shinedown’s Brent Smith says he just hopes country fans will keep an open mind as they listen to his band’s rock-inspired country music. They recently made their Grand Ole Opry debut so it fit to bring him in studio to talk about going back to work after his mother’s death, new music an this lifelong love of Randy Travis, Travis Tritt, Hardy, Ella Langley and more. Then (18:28), Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance visits to talk about a solo album that’s very country-flavored. He also shared a great story about a country star in an A7 mosh pit before stating some of his influences. (36:35) Billy Dukes also joins the podcast for the Night Cap. Thanks for following.
