with Darius Rucker

Just got an hour? All the country you need to know, right here! Brand new exclusive music from the stars of today rubbing shoulders with all-time classics and much more besides.

In this show, Darius plays his favourite Dolly Parton deep cuts, there's a chance to hear Bob Harris's 2023 interview with her, and Steve Earle and Josh Ross pop in to talk about their new singles!

Old Dominion's Brad Tursi is our Horizon Artist and there's new music from home-grown heroes The Shires and First Time Flyers.

A highlight of Radio 2's Piano Room earlier this year, country superstar Darius Rucker is a multi-million selling artist in not one, but two genres! He started off as the lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish - first album went platinum 22 times over! - and then transitioned into a solo career as a country star, with signature hits like the billion-streaming "Wagon Wheel" which he performed to huge acclaim at last year's Opry 100 celebration in London's Royal Albert Hall.
