Sound Opinions is where people who love music can come together and have for more than 25 years.

Whether you're an expert or just a casual fan,

sound opinions is your source for smart and engaging, music criticism, and conversation.

Each week on the show, nationally respected rock critics Greg Kot and Jim D. Regatus,

interview artists, talk about pop culture and music industry news, review new record releases, and give trends a historical

context. And because on sound opinions, everyone's a critic, listeners are invited to join in on the

debate. Today, we share an episode from April with

author Jeffrey Heims, who focuses on the writing and recording scene that grew up around

Emmylou Harris, Roseanne Cash, Guy Clark, and others, and how it changed the scope of

country music forever. He calls this group, In-Law Country. Sound Opinions has new episodes every week on its

podcast feed and public radio stations around the country, as well as weekly, Patreon-only,

bonus episodes. Sound opinions. Listen critically.
