Country Fried Rock introduces exciting new music and lets you eavesdrop on the kinds of conversations that happen among artists at late-night diners after gigs.

Musicians inspired by American roots music discuss their influences ranging from early rock and roll, traditional country, bluegrass, R&B, to soul. Listeners hear personal conversations about the early days of a musician's development, from cover bands and school band all the way to getting dropped by a major label and owing more than they made--to finding pleasure in writing music for its own sake, and forging a career in a new media world.

Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are today's music discovery portals, and Country Fried Rock curates the best roots music, connecting with familiar themes and music that make even the most unusual band accessible.
