Description

This week, I am joined by Uncle Kracker, and we’re diving into the stories behind the songs from throughout his entire discography! 
We also discuss: how his experiences with Kid Rock, as the DJ for Twisted Brown Trucker, helped prepare him for his solo career; his Woodstock ‘99 experience; working with Dobie Gray on his cover of “Drift Away;” co-writing “Letter To My Daughters” with David Allan Coe; recording “When The Sun Goes Down” & “Last Night Again” with Kenny Chesney; the story behind the adult contemporary & country crossover for his hit song “Smile;” his experiences going from a major label to an indie label for his 2012 album “Midnight Special,” and the new music he’s been releasing throughout 2023, including the singles “Reason To Drink,” “Sweet 16” & “Crusin’ Altitude”

My Weekly Mixtape is a podcast that brings each listener back to when you waited for hours to record your favorite song off the radio, "dubbed" songs from one cassette to another & recorded your vinyl or CDs in your own epic sequence. When you handed someone a mixtape, you were handing them your musical identity. Featuring both collaborative curations as well as interviews with the music makers themselves, My Weekly Mixtape celebrates the lost art of the mixtape, one week at a time.
