Self-described ‘life-long advocate of simplicity’ and Canadian Americana singer/songwriter Whitney Rose joins me at a Mexican restaurant in Nashville to talk about 80s country icon Keith Whitley’s posthumously released Greatest Hits album.
Whitney reveals how her childhood love for Whitney helped foster her love for country music, why some of his songs make more emotional than logical sense, her passion for simplicity in life and music and how the album helped her bond with Mavericks frontman (and her producer) Raul Malo.
