If you're someone who listens to "anything but country" cut it out. Hillbilly Humanism is an hour of country, folk, and bluegrass that aims to prove there's more to country than what plays in Bass Pro Shop. Whether it's Townes Van Zandt and John Prine leaving you crying in your cowboy boots or Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash getting you fired up to fight for the working class, there's always someone worth listening to.
