Howdy folks. This week, Tracer and Brennan are joined by Jeremy Phillips for a conversation that goes just about everywhere. They talk about Ozark Grunge, songwriting backstories, and Red Dirt not just as a sound, but a culture. There’s also a surprising amount of pencil and eraser talk, a near-leak from Tracer about Born & Raised, and Brennan podcasting from the shadows to keep the signal alive.Intro/Outro - Trenton FletcherJeremy Phillips: https://linktr.ee/jeremyphillipsozarkgrungeWestern Grunge Tapedeck: https://linktr.ee/westerngrunge
