The Crying Hour
The weepers. Bring a handkerchief.
Sunday nights we lean all the way into heartbreak—the barroom ballads and cheating songs where the steel guitar does the crying for you.
Dusty Rhodes
Evening & Outlaw Host
Dusty leans into the grittier side of the format—outlaw country, Bakersfield twang, and the independent artists carrying the torch today.
Favorite steel player: Ralph Mooney
