The often-controversial always-deep-digging journalist team over at Vice’s “Noisey” division have been diving into music history as they take a hard look at the outlaws of country music and explore the way they influence the industry today. Shooter Jennings and Sam Hunt join in on the conversation as they talk about how Waylon, Willie, Johnny, and Merle are to this day the driving force behind stepping outside of the Nashville template and finding a unique sound in the country music world.
