Summary

We are joined today by amazing country singer and songwriter Wade Sapp to discuss my Mama's favorite Reba song - "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia." We go full-in on the justice system, the good ol' boy system, and discuss the, uh, interesting choices made for the music video. We may have also uncovered some of the mystery of song's main family.

And while you're at it, Wade's new song "Keep On Truckin" is out now and you can check it out on his youtube page here - youtube.com/wadesappmusic.
