Summary

Long before his explosion on social media, actor and Tennessee native Leslie Jordan had already been making a splash with memorable roles in film (The Help) and television (Will & Grace). But at 65 years old, his Sunday Mornin’ Hymn Singin’ on Instagram during the pandemic has introduced his Southern charm and down-home personality to a whole new generation. On today’s show, Homemade host Martie Duncan welcomes Leslie to discuss his new album of duets with Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Chris Stapleton and more, as well as his road to Hollywood, favorite Southern dishes and latest book, How Y’all Doing?
